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 metal oxide with the formula mo contains 15.44% oxygen. in the box below, type the symbol for the element represented by m.
lana66690 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The element represented by M is Strontium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.

The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol

It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:

\frac{15.44}{100}\times (x+16)=16g/mol\\\\(x+16)=\frac{16g/mol\times 100}{15.44}\\\\x=(103.626-16)g/mol\\\\x=87.62g/mol

The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.

Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.

A gold nugget has a volume of 20.0 cm3 and its density is 19.3 g/cm3. What is the mass of the gold nugget?
salantis [7]
Density * Volume = Mass

Now we substitute the values in.

19.3 g/cm^3 + 20 cm^3 = 386 g

Mass = 386 g

Balance these equations!<br> 1)<br> AIBr; +<br> K-<br> KBr +<br> AI
Tema [17]

Answer:

Instructions on balancing chemical equations:

Enter an equation of a chemical reaction and click 'Balance'. The answer will appear below

Always use the upper case for the first character in the element name and the lower case for the second character. Examples: Fe, Au, Co, Br, C, O, N, F.     Compare: Co - cobalt and CO - carbon monoxide

To enter an electron into a chemical equation use {-} or e

To enter an ion specify charge after the compound in curly brackets: {+3} or {3+} or {3}.

Example: Fe{3+} + I{-} = Fe{2+} + I2

Substitute immutable groups in chemical compounds to avoid ambiguity.

For instance equation C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced,

but PhC2H5 + O2 = PhOH + CO2 + H2O will

Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required.

If you do not know what products are enter reagents only and click 'Balance'. In many cases a complete equation will be suggested.

Reaction stoichiometry could be computed for a balanced equation. Enter either the number of moles or weight for one of the compounds to compute the rest.

Limiting reagent can be computed for a balanced equation by entering the number of moles or weight for all reage
