7. A species is _ when its population has become so low that it is close to becoming extinct

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Endangered. The meaning of endangered is when a species declines in number- this might be because they are being eaten by another animal which has a higher popupayion, or perhaps because they are being hunted by humans for their meat or fur. Neither reason might be that their food or habitat has been destroyed b humans to create land for farming or housing. one example of name endangered species is Polar Bears: they like in the Antarctic where there is no land, simply ice. Due to humans causing climate change, the world is warming up and the ice is melting. This means polar bears are dying out because it would be too tiring to swim to find ice. For the same reason, other animals are dying in the Antarctic meaning that Poplar Bears have less to eat (being at the top of the food chain -no animal eats polar bears).

20<br> How do you solve this ?

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

eight oxygen atoms

Explanation:

This formula shows that in one mole of this compound, there are 3 moles of Ca atoms that combine with 2 moles of the PO4(phosphate) groups, which gives a total of 2 moles of P atoms and 8 moles of 0 atoms.

A sample compound with a molar mass of 34.00g/mol is found to consist of 0.44g H and 6.92g O. Calculate both empirical and molec

balu736 [363]

Answer:

E.F= OH

M.F= $O_{2} H_{2}$

Explanation:

Empirical Formula

Step 1: Calculate mols of each element

0.44gH(1 mol H/ 1.008g H)= 0.4365 mol H

*note leave extra sig figs for calculations

6.92gO(1 mol O/ 16 g O)=0.4325 mol O

Step 2: Identify which is the smallest mol

*in this case 0.4365 mol H> 0.4325 mol O so we will use 0.4325 mol O

Step 3: Divide above calculations by the smallest mol

0.4325 mol O/0.4325= 1

0.4365 mol H/0.4325= 1.009 *rounds to 1

Step 4: use calculations as subscripts

Oxygen = 1 so the subscript will 1 (O)

Hydrogen = 1 so the subscript will 1 (H)

making E.F= OH

Molecular Formula:

Step 1: identify molecular mass and mass from the E.F

the molecular mass is given 34.00g/mol

the mass of the E.F is

(oxygen mass from periodic table)+(hydrogen mass from periodic table)

16+1.008= 17.008

Step 2:Divide the molecular mass by the mass given by the emipirical formula.

$\frac{34.00}{17.008}= 1.999$ round to 2

Step 3:Multiply the empirical formula (the subscripts) by this number to get the molecular formula. ANSWER: M.F=2(OH)- $O_{2} H_{2}$
