Answer:
41 g
Explanation:
We have a buffer formed by a weak acid (C₆H₅COOH) and its conjugate base (C₆H₅COO⁻ coming from NaC₆H₅COO). We can find the concentration of C₆H₅COO⁻ (and therefore of NaC₆H₅COO) using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.
pH = pKa + log [C₆H₅COO⁻]/[C₆H₅COOH]
pH - pKa = log [C₆H₅COO⁻] - log [C₆H₅COOH]
log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = pH - pKa + log [C₆H₅COOH]
log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = 3.87 - (-log 6.5 × 10⁻⁵) + log 0.40
[C₆H₅COO⁻] = [NaC₆H₅COO] = 0.19 M
We can find the mass of NaC₆H₅COO using the following expression.
M = mass NaC₆H₅COO / molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution
mass NaC₆H₅COO = M × molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution
mass NaC₆H₅COO = 0.19 mol/L × 144.1032 g/mol × 1.5 L
mass NaC₆H₅COO = 41 g
In an ecosystem, the only true producers are autotrophic organisms like plants and bacteria. These organisms produce energy by converting the energy from the sun into simple sugars.
All of the other organisms in the food chain, like the fruit fly, are simply consuming the energy produced by the plants/bacteria and not actually making/producing energy from a new source.
Sorry for the late response but for this question, the answer is 3 moles of water.
Light bulb -it produces heat and light
toaster - it produces heat and the metal strips glow producing light
