A farmer had an accident and spilled a chemical into his pond. Several days later, he notices many dead frogs around the pond. T

hat summer, the number of gnats around the pond was higher than ever. This is because
a. the chemical is good for the gnats.
b. the frogs are a limiting factor for the gnats.
c. the gnats are a limiting factor for the frogs.
d. the chemical is a limiting factor for the gnats.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

A limiting factor or limiting reagent is a compound of reactant which gets used up first and effects the formation of product in a chemical reaction.

Around the pond frog would be feeding on gnat, and due to their presence population of gnats were in control .But due to accidental spilling of chemical in pond resulted in death of frogs. Which were actually responsible for less population of gnats around the pond but due to dead action of chemical on them (frogs) their population in pond declined due to which increase in population of gnats was observed.

On generalizing this fact:

  • Higher the population of frogs lower will be the population of gnats.
  • lower the population of frogs higher will be the population of gnats.

So, from this we can conclude that frogs are the limiting factors for the gnats as more the number of frogs lessor will be number of gnats.

B. the frogs are a limiting factor for the gnats
the frogs limit the reproduction of the gnats, and therefore with less frogs the gnat population can increase

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Four substitution products are obtained. The carbocation that forms can react with either nucleophile (H2O or CH3OH) from either the top or bottom side of the molecule

Explanation:

An SN1 reaction usually involves the formation of a carbocation in the slow rate determining step. This carbocation is now attacked by a nucleophile in a subsequent fast step to give the desired product.

However, the product is obtained as a racemic mixture because the nucleophile may attack from the top or bottom of the carbocation hence both attacks are equally probable.

The attacking nucleophile in this case may be water or CH3OH

Complete the sentences to explain what’s happening at different portions of the heating curve.
Neporo4naja [7]

Particles of the substance have the most kinetic energy when the substance is(a)1. A gas. The part of the graph that represents where the substance has the least amount of potential energy is labeled(b)1. Solid.

Gas molecules have the highest average velocities among the three states of matter so gas has the highest kinetic energy. During freezing, a substance loses a lot of potential energy so solid has the least potential energy.

The equation shows one mole of ethanol fuel being burned in oxygen. Convert the energy released into its equivalent mass. C2H5OH
lana [24]

Answer:

47.9 g of ethanol

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light. Combustion reactions have been very useful as a source of energy. Ethanol is now burnt for energy purposes as a fuel. Ethanol has even been proposed as a possible alternative to fossil fuels.

Since 1 mole of ethanol when combusted releases 1367 kJ/mol of energy

x moles of ethanol releases 1418 kJ/mol.

x= 1 × 1418 kJ/mol/ 1367 kJ/mol

x= 1.04 moles of ethanol.

Mass of ethanol = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Mass of ethanol = 1.04 moles × 46.07 g/mol

Mass of ethanol= 47.9 g of ethanol

1) According to Bohr's model of the atom, in which orbitals do electrons have the most energy?
Alex Ar [27]

The orbitals closest to the nucleus is the orbital wih the lowest energy. This is according to the basic rules stating that the energy of the shells as its principal quantum number increases, also increases. Thus the answer in 1 is B. Valence electrons are found in the outermost electron shell, on the other hand.
