A certain large pond had many plants growing in it. It also had a population of fish living in it. One day, a chemical spilled into the water. This chemical caused the plants to die. A scientist monitored the pond after the chemical spill. She found that the amount of dissolved oxygen in the pond gradually decreased. Once it reached about half of its original amount, the fish in the pond began to die.

Which statement best explains this information?

A. Fish produce oxygen through respiration, and this oxygen is used by plants.

B. All the oxygen in a pond comes directly from the atmosphere, so fish do not need plants.

C. Plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, and fish depend on this oxygen to survive.

D. Fish and plants compete with each other for the dissolved oxygen in a pond.

Pls help!!

Construct the hypothetical phase diagram for metals a and b between room temperature (20c) and 700c, given the following information: * the melting temperature of metal a is 480c. • the maximum solubility of b in a is 4 wt% b, which occurs at 420c. • the solubility of b in a at room temperature is 0 wt% b. • one eutectic occurs at 420c and 18 wt% b–82 wt% a. • a second eutectic occurs at 475c and 42 wt% b–58 wt% a. • the intermetallic compound ab exists at a composition of 30 wt% b–70 wt% a, and melts congruently at 525c.• the melting temperature of metal b is 600c. • the maximum solubility of a in b is 13 wt% a, which occurs at 475c. • the solubility of a in b at room temperature is 3 wt% a.

Achemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. he carefully weighs out of oxalic acid , a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in of distilled water. the student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with his sodium hydroxide solution. when the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds he has used of sodium hydroxide solution. calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
