Logging may cause the soil to be less compact and the loose dirt will enter and contaminate any water source.

Have a nice day!

Answer Choices :

A: The removal of trees does not affect our fresh water supply.

B: Tree roots actually help absorb some chemicals, which prevents them from entering our fresh water supply.

C: Fewer trees increases absorption of water and other chemicals into the groundwater supply.

D: Fewer trees increases erosion, which adds more sediment to our fresh water supply.

Now Mr.Josh-Ray Says "Logging may cause the soil to be less compact and the loose dirt will enter and contaminate any water source."

Meaning - The Loose Dirt Contains Particles Are Contaminating Clean Water Sources.

D - Fewer trees increases erosion, which adds more sediment to our fresh water supply.

Therefore Mr.Josh Is Correct

"D" IS CORRECT ON PLATO.

What fuel source is Jan using if she exercises at 85% of her maximum aerobic capacity?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Carbohydrates

Explanation:

Increased exercise intensity means the overall need for energy increases. As we increase exercise intensity we increase our glucose uptake and oxidation which far exceeds uptake, indicating that muscle stores of glycogen are being used. At moderate intensities (65%) there is an increased need for muscle glycogen and muscle triglycerides which is fat. At higher levels of intensities (85%) there is an even greater need for energy, and this is met almost solely by an increased uptake of glucose from the blood and from muscle glycogen.

In the case of fats as an energy fuel source at high intensities, increasing levels of intensity increases fat oxidation but once we get into higher levels of intensity, we return to levels of fat oxidation similar to very low intensities.

Rank the following fertilizers in decreasing order of mass percentage of nitrogen:

charle [14.2K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

NH₃ > NH₄NO₃ > (NH₄)₂HPO₄ > (NH₄)₂SO₄ > KNO₃ > (NH₄)H₂PO₄

<h3>Soution:</h3>

In (NH₄)₂HPO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 2 = 14 × 2 = 28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ = 132.06 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ × 100

Mass %age = 28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.06 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 21.20 %

In (NH₄)₂SO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 2 = 14 × 2 = 28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ × 100

Mass %age = 28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.14 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 21.18 %

In KNO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 1 = 14 × 1 = 14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of KNO₃ = 101.10 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of KNO₃ × 100

Mass %age = 14 g.mol⁻¹ / 101.10 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 13.84 %

In (NH₄)H₂PO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 1 = 14 × 1 = 14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ = 115.03 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ × 100

Mass %age = 14 g.mol⁻¹ / 115.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 12.17 %

In NH₃:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 1 = 14 × 1 = 14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₃ = 132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₃ × 100

Mass %age = 14 g.mol⁻¹ / 17.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 82.20 %

In NH₄NO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 2 = 14 × 2 = 28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃ = 80.04 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₄NO₃ × 100

Mass %age = 28 g.mol⁻¹ / 80.04 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 34.98 %

A scientist digs up sample of arctic ice that is 458,000 years old. He takes it to his lab and finds that it contains 1.675 gram

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.70 grams of krypton-81 was present when the ice first formed

Explanation:

Let use the below formula to find the amount of sample

$N= N_0(\frac{1}{2})^n$

where

$n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

here

t = 458,000 years

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = 229,000

$\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$ = \ $\frac{ 458,000}{229,000}$

n = $\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$ = 2.000

Now substituting the values

$1.675 = N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{2.000}}$

$1.675 = N_0\times (0.2500)$

$N_0= \frac{1.675}{0.2500}$

$N_0=6.70$

An unknown piece of metal weighing 95.0 g is heated to 98.0°C. It is dropped into 250.0 g of water at 23.0°C. When equilibrium i

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

$C_{metal}=126.6\frac{J}{g\°C}$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when two substances at different temperature are put in contact and an equilibrium temperature is attained, we can evidence that the heat lost by the hot substance (metal) is gained by the cold substance (water) and we can write:

$Q_{metal}=-Q_{water}$

Which can be also written as:

$m_{metal}C_{metal}(T_{EQ}-T_{metal})=-m_{water}C_{water}(T_{EQ}-T_{water})$

Thus, since we need the specific heat of the metal, we solve for it as shown below:

$C_{metal}=\frac{m_{water}C_{water}(T_{EQ}-T_{water})}{-m_{metal}(T_{EQ}-T_{metal})} \\\\C_{metal}=\frac{250.0g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}(29.0\°C-98.0\°C)}{95.0g(29.0\°C-23.0\°C)} \\\\C_{metal}=126.6\frac{J}{g\°C}$

Best regards.
