Net Primary Productivity ... the amount of biomass present in an ecosystem at a particular time .... Explain why a slow growing forest can have a very low NPP and yet store a massive amount of biomass.
Answer:An endothermic reaction
Explanation: In an endothermic reaction, it takes more energy to break the bonds of the reactants than is released when the bonds in the products are formed. In an endothermic reaction, the temperature goes down.
Answer:
is insufficient to overcome intermolecular forces.
Explanation:
Answer:
- <em>The partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture is</em><u> 320.0 mm Hg</u>
Explanation:
<u>1) Take a base of 100 liters of mixture</u>:
- N: 60% × 100 liter = 60 liter
- O: 40 % × 100 liter = 40 liter.
<u>2) Volume fraction:</u>
At constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is proportional to the number of molecules.
Then, the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio. Callin n₁ and n₂, the number of moles of nitrogen and oxygen, respectively, and V₁, V₂ the volume of the respective gases you can set the proportion:
That means that the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio, and the mole fraction is equal to the volume fraction.
Then, since the law of partial pressures of gases states that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the mole fraction of the gas multiplied by the total pressure, you can draw the conclusion that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the volume fraction of the gas in the mixture multiplied by the total pressure.
Then calculate the volume fractions:
- Volume fraction of a gas = volume of the gas / volume of the mixture
- N: 60 liter / 100 liter = 0.6 liter
- V: 40 liter / 100 liter = 0.4 liter
<u>3) Partial pressures:</u>
These are the final calculations and results:
- Partial pressure = volume fraction × total pressure
- Partial pressure of N = 0.6 × 800.0 mm Hg = 480.0 mm Hg
- Partial pressure of O = 0.4 × 800.0 mm Hg = 320.0 mm Hg
Answer:
It matters
Explanation:
Pure substance are known to have a sharp freezing point. However, the presence of solute lowers the freezing point of the solvent. The best time to measure the freezing point is when the freezing process is just beginning.
It will be an error to measure the freezing point when the part of the solution has already frozen.
