Answer:

• potential for a species to increase in number

• the heritable genetic variation/ which results from mutation in dna

• the size of a population increases

• competiton for resources that are limited in that specific environment.

Explanation:

these are all factors that would affect natural selection although there are many more.

A sample of water at 100°C is converted to steam after absorbing 820 kJ of heat. How grams of H2O are contained in the sample? A

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Since water is already at 100<span>°C all the energy is used to evaporate it.
Now we can calculate how many </span>mols of water are evaporated with 820kJ.
$N= \frac{820}{41} =20 mol$
We calculated that we got 20 mols of water evaporated. Now, all we have to do is find how many grams is a mol of water. Molar mass of water is <span>20.16 g/mol.
</span>The final answer is:
$m=20*20.16=403.2g$

Which of the following is an advance in technology that has helped us to increase environmental quality?

meriva

OK, its deff not the last one b/c all that trash just goes into the air, overwater farm land would kill crops (no help there), Ive never heard of heating water to kill excess bacteria. There is ,however, a new technique called Bioremediation which is the use of living organism to clean up a medium i.e. air,soil, water. It would seem the 2nd answer is correct.

Calculate the theoretical carbonaceous and nitrogenous oxygen demand for:

serg [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 129 mg and 232 mg.

Explanation:

Theoretical carbonaceous oxygen demand:

The reaction will be,

C₂H₆O₂ + 5/2 O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

Thus, for one mole of C₂H₆O₂ (ethylene glycol), 2.5 moles of O₂ is needed.

The molecular mass of ethylene glycol is 62 grams per mole.

The given mass of ethylene glycol is 100 mg or 0.1 grams

The moles of ethylene glycol will be,

Moles = Weight/Molecular mass

= 0.1/62 = 1.613 × 10⁻³ mol

For 1.613 × 10⁻³ mol, the moles of O₂ will be,

= 2.5×1.613×10⁻³

= 4.0.×10⁻³ × 32mol

= 0.129 grams or 129 mg.

The theoretical nitrogenous oxygen demand is:

The reaction will be,

2NH₃-N + 9/2O₂ ⇒ 4HNO2 + H₂O

Thus, for 2 moles of NH₃-N, 4.5 moles of O₂ is needed,

Therefore, for 1 mol of NH₃-N, the oxygen required will be,

= 4.5/2 = 2.25 mol

The given mass of NH₃-N is 100 mg, the moles of NH₃-N will be,

Moles = 100×10⁻³/31 = 3.225 × 10⁻³ mol (The molecular mass of NH₃-N is 31 gram per mole)

The moles of O₂ is 2.25 × 3.225 × 10⁻³ = 7.258 × 10⁻³ mol.

Now the mass of O2 will be,

= 7.258 × 10⁻³ × 32

= 0.232 grams

= 232 mg
