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.

Is more chemical weathering likely to occur in New York location or in the Illinois location? Explain your answer. HELP NEEDED (
Naily [24]
The pH of pure water is 7.0, which is neutral.

For a pH below this, the water is acidic. Substances that are acidic are often corrosive and thus could cause weather damaging. The pH of the precipitation in NY is below that of the precipitation in IL, and NY receives more precipitation, so for both of those reasons, it is likely to have more chemical weathering.

Thallium consists of 29.5%Th-203 and 70.5%Th-205. What is the relative atomic mass of thallium?
grin007 [14]
0.295 * 203 = 53.885
0.705 * 205 = 144.525
53.885 + 144.525 = 204.41
The relative atomic mass of Thallium is 204.41

Why do you think polar aprotic solvents increase the rate of an sn2 reaction
viva [34]
Polar protic solvents actually speed up the rate of the unimolecular substitution reaction because the large dipole moment of the solvent helps to stabilize the transition state. The highly positive and highly negative parts interact with the substrate to lower the energy of the transition state.
