turbidity is a term used to describe water clarity, or how clear water is. cloudy water is said to be turbid. turbid water may be a result of a buildup of sediments, which are pieces of rocks that have been broken down and eroded or transported by surface runoff. human activities that remove plants in an area may increase erosion.

sediments can get into the gills of fish, which can then decrease their growth and delay development. sediments prevent sunlight from reaching the producers of the aquatic ecosystem, such as algae. this in turn affects the food webs in this ecosystem.

which statements describe turbidity? check all that apply.

turbidity is a measure of water clarity.

turbidity may be caused by sediments.

turbidity may be a result of human activities.

turbidity increases algae and fish populations.

turbidity is transported to freshwater sources through rain.

Consider the two electron arrangements for neutral atoms a and b. are atoms a and b the same element? a - 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1 b - 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 5s1

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚c inside a freezer for a night.  when he took it out, its new volume was 322 milliliters, but its pressure was the same.  if the final temperature of the balloon is the same as the freezer’s, what is the temperature of the freezer? the temperature of the freezer is  kelvins.

Is a measure of the resistance to flow. a high liquid has a high resistance to flow and flows slowly. the ancients thought everything in the world was made of 4 we now know that there are 94 naturally occurring and scientists have created another 24 i am certain they will create even more. honey flows slowly because it has a high to flowing. a can be separated by physical means because it contains more than one pure substance and 2 pure substances are not chemically bonded to each other. a cannot be separated by physical means. all matter is made up of all elements are with the same number of protons. if it is just a single or many bonded together, if all of them have the same number of protons, it is an element. in a piece of pure iron metal, all the are joined together, that piece of iron metal is called elemental iron. a single of iron is called elemental iron. a mixture has differences from place to place. we might need a microscope to see them or they might be obvious to the unaided eye. there are surfaces separating it into different phases. a mixture is the same everywhere. it is uniform. there are no surfaces separating it into different phases. if different kinds of atoms (different elements) are bonded together by their electrons, it is called a there are physical means of to isolate the different pure substances in a mixture and there are chemical means of to isolate the different elements in a compound. 1. element 2. compound 3. mixture 4. heterogeneous 5. homogeneous 6. pure substance 7. atoms 8. separation 9. viscosity 10. resistance
