For a lake in Michigan, researchers have determined that largemouth bass feed on smaller fish, which in turn feed on zooplankton

. In 2016, there was 600,000 kg of zooplankton in the lake. In 2017, an accidental runoff of insecticide near the lake caused a 50 percent decline of the zooplankton population in the lake. Assuming 10 percent trophic efficiencies, what is the expected decline in largemouth bass?
(a) 1,000 mg.
(b) 1,500 kg.
(c) 2,000 kg.
(d) 3,000 kg.

Answer:

the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

In 2016, there was 600,000 kg of zooplankton in the lake.

In 2017, an accidental runoff of insecticide near the lake caused a 50 percent decline of the zooplankton population in the lake.

Now,

The remaining mass of zooplankton  after the 50% decline will be;

⇒ 600,000 kg zooplankton  × 50%

⇒ 600,000 × 50/100

⇒ 300,000 kg of zooplankton

Now, with 10 percent trophic efficiency;  smaller fish directly feed on zooplankton; decline in smaller fish mass will be;

⇒ 300,000 kg × 10%

⇒ 300,000 × 10/100

⇒  30000 kg

Finally, with 10 percent trophic efficiency, largemouth bash directly feed on smaller fish, so the expected decline in mass of largemouth bash will be;

⇒ 30000 kg × 10%

⇒ 30000 kg × 10/100

⇒ 3,000 kg

Therefore, the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

How much water will be required to dissolve 0.3g of benzoic acid at 95oC given that the solubility of BA at 95oC is 68.0g/L?
Ainat [17]
Write as a proportion, showing the relationship of both given information:
68.0g 0.3g
---------- = -----------
1L x ( your answer)

Cross multiply: 68.0g× X = 0.3g × 1L
68.0g (X)= 0.3g/L
Solve for X by dividing both sides by 68.0 g
68.0g (X) = 0.3g/L
------------- ------------------
68.0g 68.0g

Then enter into calculator 0.3/68 and that will be your solution. Make sure you round up.

According to the below equation, how many moles of SO2 are required to generate 1.43×1024 water molecules?
podryga [215]
Make sure the equation is always balanced first. (It is balanced for this question already) 6.022 x 10^23 is Avogadro’s number. In one mole of anything there is always 6.022 x 10^23 molecules, formula units, atoms. For one mol of an element/ compound use molar mass (grams).

Multiply everything on the top = 8.61x10^47
Multiple everything on bottom= 1.20x10^24
Divide top and bottom = 7.15x10^23

Answer: 7.15x10^23 mol SO2

An oxybromate compound, kbrox, where x is unknown, is analyzed and found to contain 43.66 % br.
aniked [119]

Answer is: an oxybromate compound is KBrO₄ (x = 4).

ω(Br) = 43.66% ÷ 100%.

ω(Br) = 0.4366; mass percentage of bromine.

If we take 100 grams of compound:

m(Br) = ω(Br) · 100 g.

m(Br) = 0.4366 · 100 g.

m(Br) = 43.66 g; mass of bromine.

n(Br) = m(Br) ÷ M(Br).

n(Br) = 43.66 g ÷ 79.9 g/mol,

n(Br) = 0.55 mol; amoun of bromine.

From chemical formula (KBrOₓ), amount of potassium is equal to amount of bromine: n(Br) = n(K).

m(K) = 0.55 mol · 39.1 g/mol.

m(K) = 21.365 g; mass of potassium in the compound.

m(O) = 100 g - 21.365 g - 43.66 g.

m(O) =34.97 g; mass of oxygen.

n(O) = 34.97 g ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 2.185 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 0.55 mol : 0.55 mol : 2.185 mol /÷ 0.55 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 1 : 1 : 4.

How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?​
Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.

Which of these best describes heat transfer through conduction?
kozerog [31]

I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe
