Answer:

Flushing goldfish down the toliet

Explanation:

This would help the planet because goldfish are a very evasive species that has been harming our natural enviroments lakes and rivers. Ever since people have been flushing them down the toliet including me since I've had over six they have been finding their ways into our ecosytem and damaging nature. You may think that goldfish are a cute and small pet species to keep in a fish tank but the fish can grow in the right conditons up to 16.1 inches long and can top over five pounds in the wild. Unfortunately most goldfish never thrive like this in fish tanks due to nasty inadequate housing and feeding conditions. And most do not live up to their expected life span in the wild of 15 to even thirty years due to their living conditons. Did you know, goldfish will actually jump out of their tank in a final desperate search for better living conditions and enviroment to live in to meet their physiological needs. But lets get back to the problem so don't be to quick to feel sorry for them, when people flush them down the toliet they repopulate somehow in our lakes and rivers. Even through, it is not clear how they got there, which the suspected culprit is the sewer system. They threaten the natural enviroment tho because they are obnivores and they eat a mixtures of plants and animal specimen. You are probrably thinking why is this a problem, well its because goldfish are particullary greedy eaters and will eat, eat, and feast on the natural envrioment they infestated. And the waste they leave on the enviroment will promote the growth of algae which could cause an extent of enviromental damage. Of course goldfish are not impacted by this algae growth for adaptation reasons which shield them. This is not the main problem tho the main problem of this is that female goldfish can produce up to 1000 eggs at a time. And to make things worse unlike other fish species where the parents of the eggs leave the eggs for predaetors and well the elements of nature the goldfish instead guard their nest foriciously from predaetors that eat fish eggs in which effectively shields the populations young from danger. And to just add to the chaos the goldfish sadly have no real natural predaetor in the unitedstates which just causes more problems since they have no one killing them. And did I mention that they could live up to a real possibility of thirty years. And that they are forocious eaters that could eat a variety of types of foods. All of these facts in the end lead to two things first stop flushing your pet goldfish down the toliet and secondly now you know how golfish impact our planet.

The chemical equation shows iron(III) phosphate reacting with sodium sulfate. 2FePO4 + 3Na2SO4 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2Na3PO4 What is the t
slava [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of iron(III) phosphate = 20.00 g

Molar mass of iron(III) phosphate = 150.82 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of iron(III) phosphate}=\frac{20g}{150.82g/mol}=0.133mol

The given chemical equation follows:

2FePO_4+3Na_2SO_4\rightarrow Fe_2(SO_4)_3+2Na_3PO_4

As, sodium sulfate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, iron(III) phosphate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron(III) phosphate produces 1 mole of iron(III) sulfate

So, 0.133 moles of iron(III) phosphate will produce = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.133=0.0665moles of iron(III) sulfate

Now, calculating the mass of iron(III) sulfate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron(III) sulfate = 399.9 g/mol

Moles of iron(III) sulfate = 0.0665 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0665mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron(III) sulfate}}{399.9g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron(III) sulfate}=(0.0665mol\times 399.9g/mol)=26.6g

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

When calcium metal (Ca) reacts with oxygen gas (O2), it produces the ionic compound calcium oxide (CaO). Write the balanced equa
malfutka [58]

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

From the question,

We are to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Calcium metal and oxygen gas

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

This is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction

To determine whether the reaction meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction,

We will define the term <em>redox reaction</em>

<em></em>

A <em>redox reaction</em>, also called oxidation-reduction reaction, is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes.

From the balanced equation above we can observe that the oxidation number of the participating species(Calcium and oxygen) changed.

The oxidation number of Calcium changed from 0 to +2

and

The oxidation number of Oxygen changed from 0 to -2

∴ The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

How does the average temperature change as the latitude decreases from the poles to the equator
igor_vitrenko [27]

As the earth is in the form of a sphere, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays at the earth's surface increases from the equator towards the poles and therefore the amount of heat received on a GIVEN AREA diminishes in the same direction. Temperature is therefore normally hottest near the equator and coolest near the poles.

Two ice skaters push off against one another starting from a stationary position. The 45.0-kg skater acquires a speed of 0.375 m
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The speed of the 60.0 kg skater should be 0.281 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of skater 1 = 45.0 kg

speed of skater 1 = 0.375 m/s

Mass of skater 2 = 60.0 kg

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the speed of skater 2

To solve this problem, we will use 'Conservation of momenton'. This means  the momentum before the push equals the momentum after.

momentum p = m*v

Momentum p(before) = momentum p(after)

m1*v1 = m2 * v2

⇒ with m1 = mass of skater 1 = 45.0 kg

⇒ with v1 = the velocity of skater 1 = 0.375 m/s

⇒ with m2 = the mass of skater 2 = 60.0 kg

⇒ with v2 = the velocity of skater 2 = TO BE DETERMINED

45.0 * 0.375 = 60.0 * v2

v2 = (45.0*0.375)/60

v2 = 0.281 m/s

The speed of the 60.0 kg skater should be 0.281 m/s
