Answer:

The overgrowth of algae consumes oxygen and blocks sunlight from underwater plants. When the algae eventually dies, the oxygen in the water is consumed. The lack of oxygen makes it impossible for aquatic life to survive

Eutrophication is a big word that describes a big problem in the nation's estuaries. Harmful algal blooms, dead zones, and fish kills are the results of a process called eutrophication — which occurs when the environment becomes enriched with nutrients, increasing the amount of plant and algae growth to estuaries and coastal waters.

Sixty-five percent of the estuaries and coastal waters in the contiguous U.S. that have been studied by researchers are moderately to severely degraded by excessive nutrient inputs. Excessive nutrients lead to algal blooms and low-oxygen (hypoxic) waters that can kill fish and seagrass and reduce essential fish habitats. Many of these estuaries also support bivalve mollusk populations (e.g., oysters, clams, scallops), which naturally reduce nutrients through their filter-feeding activities.

Hope this helps :)

Oxygen gas is collected at a pressure of 123 kPa in a container which has a volume of 10.0L. What temperature must be maintained
Morgarella [4.7K]
Given:

P = 123 kPa
V = 10.0 L
n = 0.500 moles
T = ?

Assume that the gas ideally, thus, we can use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

123 kPa * 1 atm/101.325 kPa * 10.0 L = 0.500 moles * 0.0821 Latm/molK * T

solve for T 

T = 295.72 K<span />
