Julli [10]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Which elements have the most similar chemical properties?
Mumz [18]

Answer: K and Na

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium have a chemical symbol of K and Na respectively.

They have similar chemical properties because both

- have only one valence electron,

- form univalent positive ion when they donate their lone outermost electron as shown below

Na --> Na+ + e-

K --> K+ + e-

- are good reducing agents

- react with cold water vigorously to liberate hydrogen gas and form alkalis, so they are known as alkali metals.

- K and Na are placed in Group 1 of the periodic table.

Thus, unlike the other pairs given, K and Na, have the most similar chemical properties

According to the graph, if you are in a biome where the annual precipitation is about 300 cm and the average temperature is arou
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

We are in Tropical Rainforests.

Explanation:

Biome is basically an ecological region of earth that has specific type of flora and fauna (plants and animals). Every biome has specific abiotic factors like specific climate, temperature, geology, vegetation, soils and relief.

There are total 8 biomes in the world

  • Desert
  • Grassland
  • Temperate Boreal Forest  
  • Chaparral
  • Tropical Savanna
  • Tropical Rainforest
  • Tundra
  • Temperate Deciduous Forest

Now in our question, we have been given some conditions and are asked to identify the biome. The annual precipitation is about 300 cm and the average temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius.

Now, if we study the characteristics of all these biomes, it is very simple to identify that the biome is Tropical Rainforest.

Important characteristics of Tropical Rainforest:

  • They receive more than 200 cm of rain each year.
  • The temperature of the biome is between 20 degree Celsius and 25 degree Celsius during the whole year.
  • Around 50 percent of the animal specie of the world are found here.

<em>Note: </em><em>You can study the characteristics of world’s other biomes in the link : http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/9k.html </em>


Hope it helps!  :)
