Answer:
One with a few kinds is more likely to become unstable.
Explanation:
A lack of biodiversity means there is a lower chance of them having traits that enable them to adapt to a changing environment. A lack of biodiversity is usually caused by humans. It could be the result of habitat loss, invasive species, overexploitation, pollution, or climate change.
The molarity is a concentration unit which defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the number of liters of solution. So the molarity of the solution is 3/2=1.5 mol/L.
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
Answer:
Explanation:
In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.
We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.
The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.
To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:
- The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to the charge on the ion.
For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻
This would be: 2x + 7(-2) = -2
x = +6
We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.
Answer:
it is possible to remove 99.99% Cu2 by converting it to Cu(s)
Explanation:
So, from the question/problem above we are given the following ionic or REDOX equations of reactions;
Cu2+ + 2e- <--------------------------------------------------------------> Cu (s) Eo= 0.339 V
Sn2+ + 2e- <---------------------------------------------------------------> Sn (s) Eo= -0.141 V
In order to convert 99.99% Cu2 into Cu(s), the equation of reaction given below is needed:
Cu²⁺ + Sn ----------------------------------------------------------------------------> Cu + Sn²⁺.
Therefore, E°[overall] = 0.339 - [-0.141] = 0.48 V.
Therefore, the change in Gibbs' free energy, ΔG° = - nFE°. Where E° = O.48V, n= 2 and F = 96500 C.
Thus, ΔG° = - 92640.
This is less than zero[0]. Therefore, it is possible to remove 99.99% Cu2 by converting it to Cu(s) because the reaction is a spontaneous reaction.
