An r-selected species has a significantly faster reproductive rate compared to K-selected species.
The focus of r-selected species is on quick maturation and reproduction. They are likely to breed during short periods when water supply is available, thus enhancing their survival chances.
Conversely, K-selected species prioritize nurturing their young and tend to reproduce later. Due to the longer maturation time before breeding, by the time K-selected species are ready, the water supply may be depleted, leading to lower survival odds.
Hope this clarifies!

Answer:
- A. Which element, X or Z, has a higher molar mass?
Explanation:
Heating the original compounds intensely to remove all oxygen causes chemical decomposition reactions:
- 2XClO₃ (solid) → 2XCl + 3O₂ (gas)
- 2ZClO₃ (solid) → 2ZCl + 3O₂ (gas)
By measuring the initial mass of each sample and the mass remaining after heating, the student can compute the oxygen gas mass released:
- Mass of oxygen released = initial sample mass minus residue mass
Using this oxygen mass, she can calculate how many moles of oxygen were present in each sample:
- Moles of oxygen = oxygen mass (g) divided by molar mass of oxygen
Next, the moles of the original sample are determined:
- Each mole of XClO₃ or ZClO₃ has 3 moles of oxygen atoms.
So, dividing the moles of oxygen released by 3 gives the moles of the sample.
Applying the formula molar mass = mass / moles, the student finds the molar masses of XClO₃ and ZClO₃.
Thus, this data allows answering question A: Which of X or Z has the higher molar mass?
The enthalpy change associated with the precipitation reaction is 84 kJ/mole
Why?
The chemical equation for the reaction can be written as
AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl (aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)
To determine the enthalpy change, the following equation applies

To calculate the heat (Q):

Next, we need to calculate the number of moles involved in the reaction (n):
![n=[AgNO_3]*v(L)=(0.1M)*(0.05L)=0.005moles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n%3D%5BAgNO_3%5D%2Av%28L%29%3D%280.1M%29%2A%280.05L%29%3D0.005moles)
With these two values, we can substitute them into the first equation:

Answer: 0.0007 moles of
are released when the temperature rises.
Explanation:
To determine the moles, we utilize the ideal gas law, as follows:

where,
P = gas pressure = 1.01 bar
V = gas volume = 1L
R = gas constant = 
- Calculated moles at T = 20° C
The gas temperature = 20° C = (273 + 20)K = 293K
Substituting values into the equation gives:

- Calculated moles at T = 25° C
The gas temperature = 25° C = (273 + 25)K = 298K
Substituting values into the equation gives:

- Released moles =

Therefore, 0.0007 moles of
are released when the temperature increases from 20° C to 25° C.
The total number of moles of oxygen contained in the sample is 11.3 moles. Explanation: Based on the stoichiometry of the compound, 1 mole of

corresponds with 4 moles of CO or can be stated as 1 mole containing 1 mole of Ni, 4 moles of C, and 4 moles of O, leading to the conclusion that moles of C and O are equal. Therefore, since there are 11.3 moles of carbon present, there are likewise 11.3 moles of oxygen.
