The answer would be 4.

The agencies are:

Department of Agriculture's Forest Service (AFS)

Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)

National Park Service (NPS)

These four agencies cover around 95% of the land and are the only federal agencies.

I learned about these agencies in school.

What is the value of the van't Hoff factor for KCl if a 1.00m aqueous solution shows a vapor pressure depression of 0.734 mmHg a

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: The Van't Hoff factor for KCl is 1.74

Explanation:

We are given:

Molality of solution = 1 m

This means that 1 mole of a solute is present in 1 kg of solvent (water) or 1000 grams of water

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

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of water = 1000 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{1000g}{18g/mol}=55.56mol$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

Moles of solute = 1 moles

Total moles = [1 + 55.56] = 56.56 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\chi_{(solute)}=\frac{1}{56.56}=0.0177$

The equation used to calculate relative lowering of vapor pressure follows:

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{solute}$

where,

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}$ = relative lowering in vapor pressure = 0.734 mmHg

i = Van't Hoff factor = ?

$\chi_{solute}$ = mole fraction of solute = 0.0177

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of pure water = 23.76 torr

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{0.734}{23.76}=i\times 0.0177\\\\i=1.74$

Hence, the Van't Hoff factor for KCl is 1.74

An aqueous sodium acetate, NaC2H3O2 , solution is made by dissolving 0.395 mol NaC2H3O2 in 0.505 kg of water. Calculate the mola

liq [111]

Answer: The molality of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ solution is 0.782 m

Explanation:

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molality:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent (in kg)}}$ .....(1)

Given values:

Moles of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ = 0.395 mol

Mass of solvent (water) = 0.505 kg

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Molality of }NaC_2H_3O_2=\frac{0.395mol}{0.505kg}\\\\\text{Molality of }NaC_2H_3O_2=0.782m$

Hence, the molality of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ solution is 0.782 m

What should be the effect of losing ones sight on the ability to digest food

crimeas [40]

One mechanism is enzyme induction.

Enzymes are proteins, which are metabolically expensive to produce. It makes evolutionary sense that your body makes less digestive enzymes such as lactase and sucrase when they're not needed. If your diet changes, your body can gradually increase the production of some enzymes through a process of enzyme induction.

For example, the production of lactase enzyme can be increased in some lactose-intolerant individuals by feeding them lactose . Also, studies in rats have shown that other carbohydrate-digestiYour body makes more of what it needs, and less of what it doesn't need--brilliant!ng enzymes, such as sucrase-isomaltase, trehalase, and maltase-glucoamylase--can be induced by hydrocortisone administration.

A 0.600 g sample of a compound of arsenic and oxygen was found to

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The answer is C. As2O3

Explanation:

0.600 gr of Arsenic and Oxygen.

0.454 gr of Arsenic

So, 0.146 gr of Oxygen will be in the compound.

- First: The grams of each element must be divided by its atomic weight:

0.454 gr As / 74.92u As = 0.00606

0.146 gr O / 16u O = 0.009125

- Both results must be divided by the lowest number found:

0.00606 / 0.00606 = 1 As

0.009125 / 0.00606 = 1.5 O

- As one of the values is not an integer then both results are multiplied until both give an integer:

1 As * 2 = 2 As

1.5 O * 2 = 3 O

- Then the answer is given:

As2O3
