Over a hundred years ago, the prairies of South Dakota were home to dozens of kinds of grasses and hundreds of kinds of insects. This supported many populations of small mammals and birds. Today the prairies are dominated by domesticated wheat crops that humans can harvest and use for food. Pesticides used in growing the crops have killed off many kinds of insects that once lived there. In addition, the pesticides have poisoned populations of native mammals, such as prairie dogs. Which of these is most likely an additional change that has occurred in this ecosystem?
O A. Pesticides have been washed into local sources of drinking water.

OB. There has been an increase in the amount of space available to mammal populations.

OC. There has been an increase in the variety of food sources available to bird populations.

O D. Native grasses have adapted to become more edible to humans.​

Answers

Answer 1

An additional damage of the pesticides is that they  have been washed into local sources of drinking water.

What are pesticides?

The pesticides are chemicals that could be used to prevent the growth of weeds on agricultural lands. We know that many of these pesticides have the ability to find their way into food grains and bioaccumulate in human systems.

These pesticides are equally able to poison the mammal populations that are in an area as well as to move along with surface water into the surrounding water bodies were they contaminate aquatic organisms.

Hence, an additional damage of the pesticides is that they  have been washed into local sources of drinking water.

The physical and chemical properties of a compound is dependent upon its bond strength. Physical properties such as  boiling, melting point etc . increases with bond strength. Solubility decreases with increase in bond strength.

What is bond strength?

The bond strength of a molecule or compound is the measure the energy to break or form the bond. That it tells how much strong the bond is. It directly proportional to the bond order.

Boiling point of a compound is the temperature at which the compound changes from liquid to gas state. Melting point is the temperature at which a   to liquid form. All these phase changes are dependent on the electrical force within the molecules.

As the electrostatic force of attraction increases, more energy have to be applied to it to weaken the bonds and make the molecules apart. Therefore, the boiling point and melting point increases.

Similarly the molecules with higher bond strength have less solubility at normal conditions. The reactivity of molecules decreases as their bond strength increases since more energy needed to break the bonds.

a)Determine the molarity of HCl.
b) the percentage yield if 10.35 g of zinc chloride was obtained

Answers

a) 3.04 M

b) 11.5%

In an experiment ,25 ml of 3.7 molal of HCl, HCl solution has density of 1.20 g/ml and react with 10 g zinc to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas was liberated.

From the above statement we have got a eqauation

Zn+2HCl → ZnCL2+H2

now from the equation , we have found that

2 moles of HCl gives 1 mole of zinc chloride

now:

a)  the molarity of HCl.

Here the density given, from it we can find the volume of HCl solution

d=m/v

v=m/d

v=36.5/1.20 = 30.4 ml

from the formula

M1V1=M2V2

here M stands for Molarity and V stands for Volume

M1=3.7M  V1 = 25ml

M2 = ?     V2 =  30.4 ml

Now put all the values in equation

M2 = M1×V1 ÷V2

M2 = 3.7×25÷30.4

M2 = 3.04 M

b) he percentage yield if 10.35 g of zinc chloride was obtained

Recall that:

1 fl oz = 29.6 mL

Thus:

128 fl oz = 29.6 x 128

                  = 3,788.8 mL

Also recall:

Belching (burping) cows give off much of the methane, a greenhouse gas, from raising farm animals. Now researchers are investigating a way to reduce the greenhouse gas that is burped by cows.
In one study, scientists fed a group of dairy calves (which are cows that produce milk) a methane-blocker chemical. Sensors at feeding stations measured methane in the cows’ gas while the animals were nearby. That allowed the team of researchers to estimate the methane being belched (burped) out each day.

Over their first year of life, the treated cows, which received the methane-blocker chemical, released about ten percent less methane than the group of cows not given the chemical.

What can you infer or conclude based on the evidence from the passage?

*Your response should include the evidence to support your conclusion.

Answers

Cows and other ruminants are significant producers of the greenhouse gas methane—contributing 37 percent of the methane emissions resulting from human activity.

What is greenhouse gas?

Greenhouse gases (also known as GHGs) are gases in the earth's atmosphere that trap heat. During the day, the sun shines through the atmosphere, warming the earth's surface. At night, earth's surface cools, releasing heat back into the air. But some of the heat is trapped by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

While carbon dioxide is typically painted as the bad boy of greenhouse gases, methane is roughly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas. As temperatures rise, the relative increase of methane emissions will outpace that of carbon dioxide from these sources, the researchers report.

The cow's ramen is like a large fermentation vat. More than 200 different bacteria and 20 types of protozoa help the cow to utilize fibrous feed stuffs and non-protein nitrogen sources. Bacteria adhere to the feed and gradually digest the fermentable material.“You can probably reduce methane by about 20-25% by altering diet,” he says.

One study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, estimated it might be possible to reduce global methane emissions from cows by 15% by changing their diet.

Thus, this evidence support the passage.

The pressure of 0.540 mol of an ideal gas at 35.5 L and 223K is 0.278atm.

How to calculate pressure?

The pressure of an ideal gas can be calculated by using the ideal gas law equation as follows:
