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.

A student is titrating 50 mL of 0.32 M NH3 with 0.5 M HCl. How much hydrochloric acid must be added to react completely with the
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The volume of HCl to be added to completely react with the ammonia is 0.032 L or 32mL

Explanation:

Using the formula

Ca Va = Cb Vb

Cb = 0.32 M

Vb = 50 mL = 50/1000 = 0.050L

Ca = 0.5 M

Va =?

Substituting for Va in the equation, we obtain:

Va = Cb Vb / Ca

Va = 0.32 * 0.05 / 0.5

Va = 0.016 / 0.5

Va = 0.032 L

The volume of HCl to be added to completely react with the ammonia is 0.032 L or 32mL

Which type of reaction is represented by the generic equation ab cd right arrow. ad cb? combustion decomposition single replacem
arsen [322]

The illustration would be that of a double replacement reaction.

<h3>What are double replacement reactions?</h3>

They are reactions in which 2 ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new products.

Thus, in the reaction: ab + cd ----------> ad + cb

ab and cd are two ionic compounds. The b in ab is replaced by the d in cd while the d in cd itself is replaced by the b in ab. Hence, new products, ad and cd, are formed.
