Answer: 250


Explanation:


You work this problem by using proportions.


A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.


Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.


Mathematically:

  • 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
  • 5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

  • Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
  • Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
  • Result: 250

<h2>Answer:</h2>

There are total 250 fishes in pond.          

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to given data:

Total number of tagged fishes in the pond = 50

total number of fishes in pond = x = ?

Solution:

Ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes = x/50

You catch 5 tagged fishes out of total caught 25 fishes.

So ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes = 25/5

AS the ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes remains same in whole pond so:

            Whole pond ratio = Ratio of caught fishes

                                 x/50 = 25/5

                               =     x   =  25/5 * 50

                               =     x  =  250

Hence x is the total number of fiches in pond. So its calculated value is 250. It means there are total 250 fishes in pond.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

d. 103.3

Explanation:

In the given question, the National Weather Service routinely supplies atmospheric pressure data to help pilots set their altimeters. And the units of atmospheric pressure used for reporting the atmospheric pressure data are inches of mercury. For a barometric pressure of 30.51 inches of mercury, we can calculate the pressure in kPa as follow:

In principle, 3.386 kPa is equivalent to the atmospheric pressure of 1 inch of mercury. Thus, 30.51 inches of mercury is equivalent to 30.51 in *(3.386 kPa/1 in) = 103.307 kPa.

Therefore, a barometric pressure of 30.51 inches of mercury corresponds to _____103.3_____ kPa.

Add a nail in CuSO4 Sodium, the colour of CuSO4 disappears why?
Gre4nikov [31]

The iron nail displaces the Cu from the copper sulfate solution.  This results in the color of CuSO4's disappearance. Copper is less reactive than iron.

Consider the reaction between hydrogen gas and chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride gas in a closed cylinder with a movable pi
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

In this case, the system doesn't be affected by the pressure change. This means that nothing will happen

Explanation:

We can answer this question applying the Le Chatelier's Principle. It says that changes on pressure, volume or temperature of an equilibrium reaction will change the reaction direction until it returns to the equilibrium condition again.

The results of these changes can define as:

Changes on pressure: the reaction will move depending the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction

Changes on temperature: The reaction will move depending on if it's endothermic or exothermic

Changes on volume: The reaction will move depending the limit reagent  and the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction

In the exercise, they mention a change on pressure of the system at constant temperature (that means the temperature doesn't change). As Le Chatelier Principle's says, we must analyze what happens if the pressure increase or decrease. If pressure increase the reaction will move on the side that have less quantity of moles, otherwise, if the pressure decreases the reaction will move to the side that have more quantity of moles. In this case, we can see that both sides of the equation have the same number of moles (2 for the reactants and 2 for the products). So, in this case, we can conclude that, despite the change on pressure (increase or decrease), nothing will happen.

A solution contains 22.4 g glucose (C6H12O6 ) dissolved in 0.500 L of water. What is the molality of the solution
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Molality is 0.25 m

Explanation:

Molality → Moles of solute / kg of solvent

We need the moles of solute → 0.124 moles

22.4 g . 1 mol / 180 g = 0.124 moles

We need the mass of solvent in kg. We determine the mass of solvent with density.

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density . volume → 1 g/mL . 500 mL = 500 g

If we convert the mass in g to kg → 500 g . 1kg / 1000 g = 0.5 kg

In conclussion, molality → 0.124 mol / 0.5 kg = 0.25 m
