A forest has a stable population of approximately 100 great horned owls. The owls nest in hollow trees, eat small animals, and h

ave no predators. One year, a large new housing development is built, destroying half of the forest. How will this impact the carrying capacity of the forest and the owl population within the forest?
  A. The carrying capacity will increase and the owl population will increase.
  B. The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease.
  C. The carrying capacity will increase and the owl population will decrease.
  D. The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will increase.

The correct answer is B. The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease.

Explanation:

In ecology, the carrying capacity refers to the number of organisms an ecosystem or area can sustain because it provides water, shelter, food, etc. This carrying capacity decreases due to the destruction of habitat or natural disasters that reduces the resources or habitable area.

This implies, in the case presented, the carrying capacity of the forest will decrease because the resources on in for owls are reduced to half due to housing development. Besides this, it is expected the owl population decreases because with less food, water, and other resources such as trees to nest ess owls will survive and reproduce. Thus, in this case, "the carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease".

A chemist encounters an unknown metal. They drop the metal into a graduated cylinder containing water, and find the volume chang
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The density of the metal is 0.561 g/mL

Explanation:

The computation of the density of the metal is shown below;

As we know that

The Density of the metal is

= \frac{mass}{volume}

where,

Mass = 4.9g

Change in volume = 6.9 mL

Now place these values to the above formula

So, the density of the metal is

= \frac{4.9g}{6.9mL}

= 0.561 g/mL

Hence, the density of the metal is 0.561 g/mL

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct density could arrive

Hydrogen gas is filled in a 224 ml glass container at 0 degree celcius and 1 atmospheric pressure. What are the number of molecu
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{6.02 $\math{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}

Explanation:

A pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 0 °C is the old definition of STP. Under these conditions, 1 mol of a gas occupies 22.4 L.

1. Calculate the moles of hydrogen.

n = \text{0.224 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{22.4 L}} = \text{0.0100 mol}

2. Calculate the number of molecules

\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.0100 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{6.022 $\times 10^{23}$ molecules}}{\text{1 mol}}\\\\= \textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}\\\\\text{The sample contains }\boxed{\textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}

What is the value of k, at 25 degrees Celsius
Dimas [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

298.15 K

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

W e are supposed to calculate the Value of K at 25°C

Assuming the value of K represent K, the question wants us to convert  degree Celsius to Kelvin.

  • To convert degrees Celsius to kelvin scale, we use the relationship;
  • Kelvin (K) = Degrees Celsius + 273.15 ; 273.5 is a constant
  • That is, to convert temperature from °C to Kelvin we add a constant of 273.15 to the °C given.

In this case;

Temperature is 273.15 °c

Thus, to Kelvin scale temperature will be;

= 25°C + 273.15

= 298.15 K

Therefore, the value of K, at 25°C is 298.15 K
