How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, measure the growth of corals in aquariums where the

water temperature is controlled at different levels. Growth is measured by weighing the coral before and after the experiment.

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.

List the 3 ways carbon can enter the ocean?
prohojiy [21]

Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the surface waters of the ocean. Some of the carbon dioxide stays as dissolved gas, but much of it gets turned into other things. Photosynthesis by tiny marine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matte

Consider this reaction at equilibrium at a total pressure P1: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g) Suppose the volume of this system is c
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The new equilibrium total pressure will be  increased to one-half to initial total pressure.

Explanation:

From the information given :

The equation of the reaction can be represented as;

2SO_{2(g)}+O_{2(g)} \to2SO_{3(g)}

From above equation:

2 moles of sulphur dioxide reacts with 1 mole of oxygen  (i.e 2 moles +1 mole  =3 moles ) to give 2 moles of sulphur trioxide

So; suppose the volume of this system is compressed to one-half its initial volume and then equilibrium is reestablished.

So if this process takes place ; the equilibrium will definitely shift to the side with fewer moles , thus the equilibrium will shift to the right. As such; there is increase in pressure.

Let the total pressure at the initial equilibrium be P_1

and the total pressure at the final equilibrium be P_2

According to Boyle's Law; Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the volume, provided the temperature remains constant.

Thus;

P ∝  1/V

P = K/V

PV = K

where K = constant

So;

PV = constant

Hence;

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

From the foregoing; since the volume is decreased to one- half to initial Volume; then ,

V_2 =  \dfrac{V_1}{\dfrac{3}{2}} ----- (1)

also;

Thus ;

P_1V_1 = P_2(  \dfrac{V_1}{\frac{3}{2}})

P_1V_1 = P_2 * 2  \dfrac{V_1}{3}

3 P_1 V_1 = 2 P_2 V_1

Dividing both sides by V_1

3P_1 = 2P_2

P_2 =P_1 \dfrac{3}{2}  ----- (2)

From ;

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

P_2 V_2 = P_1 * \dfrac{3}{2}* \dfrac{V_1}{\frac{3}{2}}

P_2 V_2 = P_1 * \dfrac{3}{2}*   \dfrac{2 }{3}}*V_1

P_2 V_2 = P_1 V_1

Thus; The new equilibrium total pressure will be  increased to one-half to initial total pressure.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

first of all;-energy lead to an indotermic reaction.

indotermic is a reaction that absorbs energy \

*it has positive enthalpy of reaction

*Heat content of product is greater than that of reactant

*Heat is added to reactant side

example;- CO^2+2H^2+891kj --------- CH4 +2O2
