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".

What is the mass of 5 mole of ammonia . Calculate the number of NH₃ molecules, nitrogen atom and hydrogen atoms in it..
Aloiza [94]

Molar mass of NH_3

\\ \sf\longmapsto 14u+3(1u)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 14u+3u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 17g/mol

We know.

No of moles=Given mass/Molar mass

\\ \sf\longmapsto Given\;Mass=17(5)

\\ \sf\longmapsto Given \:Mass\:of\:NH_3=85g

Now

Lets write the balanced equation

\\ \sf\longmapsto N_2+3H_2=2NH_3

  • There is 2moles of Ammonia
  • 3moles of H_2
  • 1mole of N_2

Now

\boxed{\sf No\:of\:Molecules =No\:of\;moles\times Avagadro\:no}

For Hydrogen

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 18.069\times 10^{23}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1.8\times 10^{22}molecules

For Ammonia

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2\times 6.023\times 10^{23}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 12.046\times 10^{23}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1.2\times 10^{22}molecules

For Nitrogen

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1\times 6.023\times 10^{23}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 6.023\times 10^{23}molecules

Two elements next to each other that have decreasing atomic masses
pogonyaev

Answer:

  • <u>Tellurium (Te) and iodine (I) are two elements </u><em><u>next to each other that have decreasing atomic masses.</u></em>

Explanation:

The <em>atomic mass</em> of tellurium (Te) is 127.60 g/mol and the atomic mass of iodine (I) is 126.904 g/mol; so, in spite of iodine being to the right of tellurium in the periodic table (because the atomic number of iodine is bigger than the atomic number of tellurium), the atomic mass of iodine is less than the atomic mass of tellurium.

The elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number in the periodic table.

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.

The mass number, except for the mass defect, represents the atomic mass of a particular isotope. But the atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the different natural isotopes of the element.

Normally, as the atomic number increases, you find that the atomic mass increases, so most of the elements in the periodic table, which as said are arranged in icreasing atomic number order, match with increasing atomic masses. But the relative isotope abundaces of the elements can change that.

It is the case that the most common isotopes of tellurium have atomic masses 128 amu and 130 amu, whilst most common isotopes of iodine have an atomic mass 127 amu. As result, tellurium has an average atomic mass of 127.60 g/mol  whilst iodine has an average atomic mass of 126.904 g/mol.

A solution is made by dissolving 10.7 g of magnesium sulfate, MgSO4, in enough water to make exactly 100 mL of solution. Calcula
adell [148]

Answer:

[MgSO₄] = 890 mM/L

Explanation:

In order to determine molarity we need to determine the moles of solute that are in 1L of solution.

Solute: MgSO₄ (10.7 g)

Solvent: water

Solution: 100 mL as volume. (100 mL . 1L / 1000mL) = 0.1L

We convert the solute's mass  to moles → 10.7 g / 120.36 g/mol = 0.089 moles

Molarity (mol/L) → 0.089 mol/0.1L = 0.89 M

In order to calculate M to mM/L, we make this conversion:

0.89 mol . 1000 mmoles/ 1 mol = 890 mmoles
