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

By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

Explanation:

A baseball weighs 5.13 oz.  

a)What is the kinetic energy, in joules, of this baseball when it is thrown by a major league pitcher at 95.o mi/h?  

b) By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an integer.

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass×velocity ^ 2

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass × velocity ^ 2

Joules = kg×m^2/s^2

1 mile = 1609.344 meters

1 hour = 3600 sec

1 Oz = 28.34952 g = 0.02834952 kg

a) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(95 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=130.761 kg×m^2/s^2 = 130.761 Joules

b) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(54.8 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=43.51028 kg×m^2/s^2 = 43.51028 Joules

= 130.761 / 43.51028 = 3.00528,  

As such the Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

When aluminum is placed in concentrated hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced. 2 Al ( s ) + 6 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ 2 AlCl 3 ( aq )
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 4.90 liters.

Explanation:

2Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq)\rightarrow 2 AlCl_3 (aq) + 3 H_2 (g)

Moles of aluminium =\frac{3.60 g}{27 g/mol}=0.1333 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of aluminium gives 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

Then 0.1333 moles of aluminium will give:

\frac{3}{2}\times 0.1333 mol=0.2 moles of hydrogen gas

Volume of 0.2 moles of hydrogen gas at STP = V

Temperature at STP = T = 298.15 K

Pressure at STP = P = 1 atm

n = 0.2 mol

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation)

V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{0.2mol\times 0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}{1 atm}=4.8956 L\approx 4.90 L

The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 4.90 liters.

In which of these cases would it be most useful to use a mole to calculate the number of particles?
Ivan
I believe it would be the last one because you can use the molar mass of HCl to find the number of moles, then use Avogadro’s number to find the number of atoms
Hope this helps!
