A system is a group of parts that can be considered one unit. Storm systems, ecosystems, and our bodies are natural systems. Car

s and houses are human-made systems. Choose an example of a system, and analyze the energy flow through the system. Describe in detail how energy enters the system, how energy changes form while in the system, and how energy leaves the system.

An ecosystem is simply a collection of communities of plants, animals, and microbes interacting together and with their physical environments.

<h3>Energy flow in an ecosystem</h3>

Energy enters the ecosystem through a group of living organisms known as the producers. the producers are mainly the green plants that are capable of photosynthesizing.

Photosynthesis converts solar radiation from the sun to chemical energy in green plants. Another group of organisms in the ecosystem, the primary consumers, feed directly on the producers and as such, are able to gain some energy from them.

The secondary consumers obtain their own energy by feeding on primary consumers. Tertiary consumers feed on the secondary consumers for their own energy and the food chain goes on and on.

Only about 10% of the available energy in one trophic level goes to the next trophic level. The rest of the energy is lost as heat to the surroundings. Thus, the producers have the highest energy in the ecosystem while organisms at the top of the food chain have the lowest energy.

Why is the wave energy lower when it reaches the receiver? (Hint: think about what you know about visible light.)
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view.

More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.

Explanation

WAVELENGTHS OF VISIBLE LIGHT

All electromagnetic radiation is light, but we can only see a small portion of this radiation—the portion we call visible light. Cone-shaped cells in our eyes act as receivers tuned to the wavelengths in this narrow band of the spectrum. Other portions of the spectrum have wavelengths too large or too small and energetic for the biological limitations of our perception.

As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

Why are infants and children often more susceptible to the effects of toxic substances than adult? (Explain)
puteri [66]

From what I know personally from learning about this type of subject in the past is that children are more susceptible to the effects of toxic substances more than adults are, certain scientific data specifically indicate that children actually are for all intents and purposes more basically susceptible to toxic exposure than adults because they for the most part have proportionally definitely more intake of food contaminants, basically active developmental processes, basically multiple exposure pathways and really susceptible kind of socio-behavioral activities in a particularly major way.

B. if 6.73 g of na2co3 is dissolved in enough water to make 250. ml of solution, what is the molar concentration of sodium carbo
BARSIC [14]

Answer:- [Na_2CO_3]=0.254M , [Na^+]=0.508 M , [CO_3^2^-]=0.254M

Solution:- We are asked to calculate the molarity of sodium carbonate solution as well as the sodium and carbonate ions.

Molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution. We have been given with 6.73 grams of sodium carbonate and the volume of solution is 250.mL.  Grams are converted to moles and mL are converted to L and finally the moles are divided by liters to get the molarity of sodium carbonate.

Molar mass of sodium carbonate is 105.99 gram per mol. The calculations for the molarity of sodium carbonate are shown below:

\frac{6.73gNa_2CO_3}{250.mL}(\frac{1mol}{105.99g})(\frac{1000mL}{1L})

= 0.254MNa_2CO_3

So, molarity of sodium carbonate solution is 0.254 M.

sodium carbonate dissociate to give the ions as:

Na_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-

There is 1:2 mol ratio between sodium carbonate and sodium ion. So, the molarity of sodium ion will be two times of sodium carbonate molarity.

[Na^+]=2(0.254M) = 0.508 M

There is 1:1 mol ratio between sodium carbonate and carbonate ion. So, the molarity of carbonate ion will be equal to the molarity of sodium carbonate.

[CO_3^2^-]=0.254M

Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.
