If an insect population increases and then decreases as the available supply of food changes, what does this demonstrate

1 answer:

D.

This is self-regulation because when the population of the insects becomes too large, it regulates itself and starts to decrease due to a shortage of resources.

Imagine you had HCl with a concentration of exactly 0.10 mol/dm3. If 0.023 dm3 of a sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH (aq), could

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the amount of sodium hydroxide in moles

Volume of sodium hydroxide solution = 25.0 ÷ 1,000 = 0.0250 dm3

Rearrange:

Concentration in mol/dm3 =

Amount of solutein mol = concentration in mol/dm3 × volume in dm3

Amount of sodium hydroxide = 0.100 × 0.0250

= 0.00250 mol

Step 2: Find the amount of hydrochloric acid in moles

The balanced equation is: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

So the mole ratio NaOH:HCl is 1:1

Therefore 0.00250 mol of NaOH reacts with 0.00250 mol of HCl

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid in mol/dm3

Volume of hydrochloric acid = 20.00 ÷ 1000 = 0.0200 dm3

Concentration in mol/dm3 =

= 0.125 mol/dm3

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid in g/dm3

Relative formula mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5

Mass = relative formula mass × amount

Mass of HCl = 36.5 × 0.125

= 4.56 g

So concentration = 4.56 g/dm3

Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most common chemicals produced in the united states. it is used to make fertilizer and other product

Greeley [361]

Answer:

a) N2 is the limiting reactant

b) 1215.9 grams NH3

c) 2283.6 grams H2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of N2 = 1000 grams

Molar mass N2 = 28 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 2500 grams

Molar mass H2 = 2.02 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) +3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles N2

Moles N2 = mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 1000 grams / 28.0 g/mol

Moles N2 = 35.7 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles H2

Moles H2 = 2500 grams / 2.02 g/mol

Moles H2 = 1237.6 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

N2 is the limiting reactant. There will be consumed 35.7 moles.

H2 is in excess. There will react 3*35.7 = 107.1 moles

There will remain 1237.6 - 107.1= 1130.5 moles H2

This is 1130.5 * 2.2 = 2283.6 grams H2

Step 6: Calculate moles NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 35.7 moles N2 we'll have 2*35.7 = 71.4 moles NH3

Step 7: Calculate mass NH3

Mass NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 71.4 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 1215.9 grams NH3

If there were only 4 protons, but the number of electrons remained at 6, what would the charge of this atom be? please help!!

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Negatively charged

Explanation:

It could be an ion too. To balance the electron shell it could lose 1 or 2 electrons. If it is not an ion it won't lose atoms to balance the shells.
