Which of these abiotic factors is most likely the reason some plants cannot live very close to the ocean?

What causes a water strider to be able to walk on water?

Lena [83]

Answer:

By repelling water, the tiny water striders stand on the water's surface and the captured airs allows them to float and move easily. so number 2. Surface Tension.

Explanation:

The attraction between water molecules creates tension and a very delicate membrane. Water striders walk on this membrane. ... The legs have tiny hairs that repel water and capture air.

How many liters of hydrogen gas will be produced at STP from the reaction of 7.179×10^23 atoms of magnesium with 54.219g of phos

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: The volume of hydrogen gas produced will be, 12.4 L

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $H_3PO_4$ = 54.219 g

Number of atoms of $Mg$ = $7.179\times 10^{23}$

Molar mass of $H_3PO_4$ = 98 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $H_3PO_4$ and $Mg$ .

$\text{Moles of }H_3PO_4=\frac{\text{Given mass }H_3PO_4}{\text{Molar mass }H_3PO_4}$

$\text{Moles of }H_3PO_4=\frac{54.219g}{98g/mol}=0.553mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }Mg=\frac{7.179\times 10^{23}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=1.19mol$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$3Mg+2H_3PO_4\rightarrow Mg(PO_4)_2+3H_2$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of $Mg$ react with 2 mole of $H_3PO_4$

So, 0.553 moles of $Mg$ react with $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.553=0.369$ moles of $H_3PO_4$

From this we conclude that, $H_3PO_4$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $Mg$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $H_2$
