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 of 45 grams of pu 234 remains after 27 hours if it’s half life is 4.98 hours
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

1.07 g

Explanation:

Half-life of Pu-234 = 4.98 hours

Initially present = 45 g

mass remains after 27 hours = ?

Solution:

Formula

         mass remains = 1/ 2ⁿ (original mass) ……… (1)

Where “n” is the number of half lives

To find "n" for 27 hours

                          n = time passed / half-life . . . . . . . .(2)

put values in equation 2

                          n = 27 hr / 4.98 hr

                          n = 5.4

Mass after 27 hr

Put values in equation 1

          mass remains = 1/ 2ⁿ (original mass)

          mass remains = 1/ 2^5.4 (45 g)

          mass remains = 1/ 42.2 (45 g)

          mass remains =  0.0237 x 45 g

          mass remains =  1.07 g

What mass of sucrose needs to be dissolved in 540 g of water in order to prepare a 15% by mass solution.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

95.3g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 540g

Percentage by mass of solution = 15%

Unknown:

Mass of sucrose = ?

Solution;

To solve this problem, we must understand that a solution is made up of solute dissolved in a solvent. A solute is the solid dissolved in another. The solvent is the is dissolving medium;

    Percentage by mass of solute in solution = \frac{Mass of solute}{Mass of solution}  x 100

Mass of solution  = mass of water + Mass of sucrose  = 540 + M

  where M is the mass of sucrose;

therefore;

                 \frac{M}{540 + M }  x 100   = 15

   Solving for M gives 95.3g

Mass of sucrose is 95.3g
