Answers:

(a) The explanatory variable is the change in the temperature .

The response variable is the coral survivance.

(b) The explanatory variable is quantitative.

The response variable is categorical.

Explanation:

A quantitative variable is those that can take a range of values. In this case, the temperature may vary across a range of values associated with the survival of coral reefs.  

A categorical (also known as qualitative) variable is characterized to present finite states. In this case, the coral reefs can survive or not depending on their responses to changes in the temperature.

Calculate the pH and pOH of 500.0 mL of a phosphate solution that is 0.285 M HPO42– and 0.285 M PO43–. (Ka for HPO42- = 4.2x10-1
jekas [21]

Answer: when concentrations of acid and base are same, pH = pKa

PH = 12.38 pOH = 1.62

Explanation: pKa= -log(Ka)= 12.38. PH + pOH = 14.00

The volume of air in a person’s lungs is 615 mL at a pressure of 760. mmHg. Inhalation occurs as the pressure in the lungs drops
chubhunter [2.5K]

<u>Answer:</u> The final volume of lungs is 621.5 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=760mmHg\\V_1=615mL\\P_2=752mmHg\\V_2=?mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

760mmHg\times 615mL=752mmHg\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{760\times 615}{752}=621.5mL

Hence, the final volume of lungs is 621.5 mL

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-
hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written betweenZn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)

First Formula would be ZnF_{2}

Second empirical formula is between Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)

Second Formula would be Zn_{2}O_{2}

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so Zn_{2}O_{2} would be written as ZnO

Third empirical formula is between Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)

Third Formula would be :NiF_{4}

Forth empirical formula is between Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)

Forth Formula would be : Ni_{2}O_{4} or NiO_{2}

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as NiO_{2}.

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}
