Answer:

The correct answer is "Charles Lyell".

Explanation:

Charles Lyell was a notorious Scottish geologist that associated events of Earth's history with natural events taking place at the same time. In 1830, Charles Lyell published the book "Principles of Geology", associating the formation of the Earth's crust with different small and vast natural events. Charles Darwin's was largely influenced by Lyell's ideas and he took his book during the famous travel trough the Galapagos islands.

liubo4ka [24]

If referring to the question: Kathy was making liquid growth medium for plants. The pH of the original solution was 8. The optimal pH for plant growth is 6. What was the best compound to add to make it pH=6?

A) KOH

B) HCL

C) Water

D) No answer provided

Then the correct answer would be option B, to add HCL, known as Hydrochloric acid to lower the pH to 6.

In science, pH is a scale used to measure the acidity of a solution or its basicity. The scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 would mean that the given solution is neutral, lower than 7 equates to an acidic solution, while anything above 7 becomes increasingly basic.

Option A is to add KOH, or potassium hydroxide to the original solution whose starting pH is 8. KOH is a solution whose pH is above 8,  a strong base, and is often used to increase the pH of a solution. In the question it states what the desired pH is 6, therefore we want to lower, not increase the pH. This makes option A incorrect.

Water is a neutral solution. Even though it is neutral, it is not used to neutralize basic or acidic solutions. Acid or bases may be added to water to create very diluted solutions that are nearly neutral despite containing a strong base or acid, but this is a different process than neutralization and will not give the desired pH. Option C is also wrong.

Option B is correct because HCL, known as hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, commonly used to lower the pH of a solution by increasing the concentration of hydrogen ions. Since we start with a pH of 8 and wish to achieve a pH of 6, HCL is the correct component to add to the solution. Due to option B being correct, option D that states that no answer is provided, is incorrect.

What is a pacu fish's predators/dangers
Zepler [3.9K]

he Piranha is one of the most efficient predators on the face of the earth. Granted it is not a large animal, with most only reaching about 5 1/2 to 10 inches (14 – 26 cm), but it is known world wide for its ferocious nature. They have razor sharp teeth and are opportunistic carnivores.

A frenzied attack by a group of Piranha will set the water churning. They will attack and eat all sorts of aquatic animals, insects, lizards and amphibians. They will also devour rodents, carrion (dead meat), and sickly or weakened land animals that venture into the water.

The teeth of the Piranha are triangular in shape with an exact fit in their jaw, comparable to a bear-trap. They are designed to puncture and slice the flesh from their prey. They can strip their prey to the bone in a matter of minutes.

These fish are a great source of fascination. Their natural behaviors have become fodder for the scripts of moviemakers looking for a sensational twist to excite and entice an audience. What could be more intriguing than creating a 'fear factor' from the behaviors of these provocative fish found in the "wild". Yet just like the Great White Shark and the Anaconda constrictor, also popular subjects of thriller movies, the Piranha’s behaviors are over-fantasized.

The Piranha does engage in a feeding frenzy that will "make the water boil" if only because a hungry school of fish are trying to reach the same limited food source. All that activity is bound to create water turbulence. A Piranha school generally only consists of about 20 or so fish, but in a feeding frenzy it can reach up to several hundred..

Piranhas are not always that deadly. Many species live solitary lives once they reach maturity and only four or five species pose any significant danger. Piranhas rarely attack people. Many experts believe they are actually timid fish, and shoal for protection. Even the most aggressive are thought to be not really dangerous until they are trapped and confined, and then attack in self defense. As a pet they are fascinating and beautiful fish, yet you can't hold or pet them. They are not affectionate and owners must be extremely careful, especially when handling them. They do have sharp teeth and an aggressive/defensive nature. Most Piranha bites are sustained when the fish are being handled, though that's not to say a hungry fish is never dangerous.
