Answer:

Magnesium is a naturally ubiquitous; (appearing & found evrywhere) element and has three naturally occurring stable isotopes, 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg, with relative abundance of 78.99%, 10.00% and 11.01%, respectively.

However, they differ only because a 24Mg atom has 12 neutrons in its nucleus, a 25Mg atom has 13 neutrons, and a 26Mg has 14 neutrons.

Fire ants move in to a new environment with the lizards.what will most likely happen to the lizard population over the next seve

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Some lizards in the eastern U.S. have adapted to invasive fire ants -- which can bite, sting, and kill lizards -- reversing geographical trends in behavioral and physical traits used to avoid predators. A new study describing this reversal appears online on November 29, 2018, in the journal Global Change Biology and reveals that new environmental challenges can override the historical influences that originally determined geographical trends in traits.

"Rapid environmental change, be it from changing climate or the introduction of invasive species, is putting a lot of pressure on native species," said Christopher Thawley, graduate student at Penn State at the time of the study and first author of the paper. "Usually when researchers look at how native species might respond to these kinds of threats, they might measure one characteristic of the animal and at one or a few sites. In this study, we looked at three separate characteristics of eastern fence lizards from thirteen sites spanning a thousand miles and found that these lizards are capable of adapting in a concerted way to meet the threat of invasive fire ants, and in a relatively short time frame."

You have 17 liters of gas at STP. If the temperature rises to 94C and while the volume decreases to 12 liters, what will the ne

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

$P_2=1.90atm$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the ideal gas equation ratio for two states:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2V_2} =\frac{n_1RT_1}{n_2RT_2}$

Whereas both n and R are cancelled out as they don't change, we obtain:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2V_2} =\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

Thus, by solving for the final pressure, we obtain:

$\frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1} =\frac{T_2}{T_1}\\\\P_2=\frac{T_2P_1V_1}{V_2T_1}$

Now, since initial conditions are 1.00 atm, 273.15 K and 17 L and final temperature and volume are 94 + 273 = 367 K and 12 L respectively, the resulting pressure turns out to be:

$P_2=\frac{367K*1.00atm*17L}{12L*273.15K}\\\\P_2=1.90atm$

Best regards!

What is the concentration of an unknown Mg(OH)2 solution if it took an average of 15.4mL of

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

0.077M

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2HCl + Mg(OH)2 —> MgCl2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 2

The mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question.

Concentration of base Cb =...?

Volume of base (Vb) = 10mL

Concentration of acid (Ca) = 0.1M

Volume of acid (Va) = 15.4mL

Step 3:

Determination of the concentration of the base, Mg(OH)2.

The concentration of the base can be obtained as follow:

CaVa/CbVb = nA/nB

0.1 x 15.4 /Cb x 10 = 2/1

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Cb x 10 x 2 = 0.1 x 15.4

Divide both side by 10 x 2

Cb = (0.1 x 15.4) /(10 x 2)

Cb = 0.077M

Therefore, the concentration of the base, Mg(OH)2 is 0.077M
