Select the correct answer Because of its size, adult blue whale has few natural predators. It’s diet consists exclusively of tiny creatures called krill. These whales can dive to great depths but must come to the surface regularly for air. From this information, what is one limiting factor for population of blue whales?

A. Availability of krill
B. Available sunlight for photosynthesis
C. Oxygen in water
D. Salinity of water
E. Visibility in water

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be the availability of krill.

A limiting factor is a substance or condition whose presence/absence can prevent a population from reaching its potential. Limiting factors can be biotic (living) or abiotic (non-living). Biotic factor includes the presence of competitive organisms in a population while abiotic factor includes food.

In the case of the blue whale, its diet is krill. Hence, its survival is largely dependent on the availability of krill. Otherwise, the blue whale might starve. Therefore, the availability of krill is a limiting factor for the population of whales.

The correct option is A.

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.
