Answer:

Population of duck and frog will change with the change

Explanation:

The complete question is

Scientists are studying animals in a large lake area. In this lake area, both owls and raccoons eat ducks, and ducks eat frogs. The data shows that recently the size of the raccoon population decreased. How will the decrease in the raccoon population affect the other populations? Be sure to explain whether the owl population, the duck population, and the frog population will change, and why.

Owl population will change
Duck population will change
Frog population will change

Solution

Raccoon eat duck and duck eat frog. Now if the population of Raccoon decreases then the number of predators of duck will decrease thereby increasing the population of duck.

The higher will be the number of ducks, the more frogs they will consume thereby decreasing the population of frogs

Hence both the population of duck and frog will change with the change

What data should be plotted to show that experimental concentration data fits a first-order reaction? A) 1/[reactant] vs. time B

natita [175]

Answer:

C) In[reactant] vs. time

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law equation is:

$A = A_{0}e^{-kt}$

where A(0) = initial concentration of the reactant

A = concentration after time 't'

k = rate constant

Taking ln on both sides gives:

$ln[A] = ln[A]_{0}-kt$

Therefore a plot of ln[A] vs t should give a straight line with a slope = -k

Hence, ln[reactant] vs time should be plotted for a first order reaction.

The bonds in the reactants of Figure 7-3 contained 372 kJ of chemical energy and the bonds in the products contained 350 kJ of c

satela [25.4K]

Answer: 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.

Explanation: There are two types of reaction on the basis of amount of heat absorbed or released.

1. Endothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which reactants absorb heat to form the products. The energy of the reactants is less than the energy of the products.

2. Exothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which heat is released from the chemical reactions. The energy of the products is less than the reactants.

Sign convention for $\Delta H$ : This value is negative for exothermic reactions and positive for endothermic reactions.

For the given chemical reaction,

Energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, Hence, this reaction will be a type of exothermic reaction and energy will be released during this chemical change.

Amount of energy released = (350 - 372) kJ = -22kJ

Negative sign symbolizes the energy is being released. So, 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.
