Answer:
Carnivorous plants are easy to grow, if you follow a few, simple rules.
Wet all of the time.
Mineral-free water.
Mineral-free soil.
Lots of light.
Wet all of the time.
Carnivorous plants are native to bogs and similar nutrient-poor habitats. As a consequence, the plants live in conditions that are constantly damp. To grow healthy carnivorous plants, it is important to duplicate their habitat as closely as possible. Keep the soil wet or at least damp all of the time. The easiest way to do this is use the tray method. Set the pots in a tray or saucer, and keep water in it at all times. Pitcher plants can grow in soggy soil with the water level in the saucer as deep as 1/2 the pot, but most carnivorous plants prefer damp to wet soil, so keep the water at about 1/4 inch and refill as soon as it is nearly gone. Water from below, by adding water to the tray, rather than watering the plant. This will avoid washing away the sticky muscilage of the sundews and butterworts and keep from closing the flytraps with a false alarm.
Mineral-free water.
Always use mineral-free water with your carnivorous plants, such as rainwater or distilled water. Try keeping a bucket near the downspout to collect rainwater. Distilled water can be purchased at the grocery store, but avoid bottled drinking water. There are simply too many minerals in it. The condensation line from an air conditioner or heat pump is another source of mineral-free water. Reverse-osmosis water is fine to use. Carnivorous plants grow in nutrient poor soils. The minerals from tap water can “over-fertilize” and “burn out” the plants. In a pinch, tap water will work for a short while, but flush out the minerals with generous portions of rainwater, when it is available.
Mineral-free soil.
The nutrient poor soils to which the carnivorous plants have adapted are often rich in peat and sand. This can be duplicated with a soil mixture of sphagnum peat moss and horticultural sand. Be sure to check the peat label for sphagnum moss. Other types will not work well. The sand should be clean and washed. Play box sand is great, and so is horticultural sand. Avoid “contractor’s sand” which will contain fine dust, silt, clay and other minerals. Never use beach sand or limestone based sand. The salt content will harm the plants. The ratio of the mix is not critical, 1 part peat with 1 part sand works well for most carnivorous plants. Flytraps prefer a bit more sand, and nepenthes prefer much more peat. Use plastic pots, as terra cotta pots will leach out minerals over time and stress your plants.

Answer:
Measure 20mL of the stock
Explanation:
All we need to do is to find the volume of the stock solution needed. This is illustrated below:
C1 = 2M
V1 =?
C2 = 0.400 M
V2 = 100mL
C1V1 = C2V2
2 x V1 = 0.4 x 100
Divide both side by 2
V1 = ( 0.4 x 100) /2
V1 = 20mL
Therefore, to prepare the solution, we will measure 20mL of the stock solution and make it up to the 100mL mark.
Answer:
iron oxide11
Explanation:
iron oxide is the chemical compound with formula fe304. it occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite.
Answer:
C₃H₈
Solution:
Step 1: Calculating Moles for each Element:
C = Mass of CO₂ × (1 mol of CO₂÷ M.Mass of CO₂) × (1 mol of C ÷ 1 mol of CO₂)
C = 2.641 g × (1 mol of CO₂÷ 44.011 g.mol⁻¹) × (1 mol of C ÷ 1 mol of CO₂)
C = 0.0600 mol
H = Mass of H₂O × (1 mol of H₂O ÷ M.Mass of H₂O) × (2 mol of H ÷ 1 mol of H₂O)
H = 1.442 g × (1 mol of H₂O ÷ 18.106 g.mol⁻¹) × (2 mol of H ÷ 1 mol of H₂O)
H = 0.159 mol
Step 2: Calculate the Smallest whole number ratio as,
C H
0.0600 0.159
0.0600/0.0600 0.159/0.0600
1 2.654
Multiply ratio by 3,
3 7.96
Or,
3 ≈ 8
Result:
Empirical Formula of Propane is C₃H₈
