<h2>Relationship between predator and prey in a balanced ecosystem.</h2>

Predators grow along with their victims. Over time, prey animals are now developing and avoiding themselves to get eaten by their predators. Such tactics and modifications can take many forms that make their work easier, including disguise, mimicry, defense mechanisms, flexibility, distance, habits and even tool use.

Though fact an equilibrium appears to occur within an ecosystem between predators and prey, there are several factors which affect it, including the birth and death rates of predators and preys.

How many copper atoms are in 150 g of copper metal

GaryK [48]

1. From grams -> mole:

=grams given x 1 mol/molar mass

So 150 g Cu x 1 mol Cu/63.546 g Cu = 2.4 mol Cu

2. From mole -> atoms

=number of mol x 6.022x10^22 atoms/1 mol

So 2.4 mol Cu x 6.022x10^22 atoms Cu/1 mol Cu = 1.4 x 10^24 atoms Cu

The energy of colored light increases in the order red, yellow, green, blue, violet.List the metallic elements used in the flame

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Flame test:

The metals ions can be detected through the flame test. Different ions gives different colors when heated on flame. Tom perform the flame test following steps should follow:

1. Dip a wire loop in the solution of compound which is going to be tested.

2. After dipping put the loop of wire on bunsen burner flame.

3. Observe the color of flame.

4. Record the flame color produce by compound

Color produce by metals:

Red = Lithium, zirconium, strontium, mercury, Rubidium (red violet)

Orange-red = calcium

Yellow = sodium, iron (brownish yellow)

Green = green

Blue = cesium. arsenic, copper, tantalum, indium, lead

Violet = potassium (lilac)

Menthol, the substance we can smell in mentholated cough drops, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.1005 g sample of menthol is comb

Bogdan [553]

Answer: The molecular formula for the menthol is $C_{10}H_{20}O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=0.2829g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.1159g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.2829 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.2829=0.077g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.1159 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.1159=0.0129g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.1005) - (0.077 + 0.0129) = 0.0106 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.077g}{12g/mole}=0.0064moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.0129g}{1g/mole}=0.0129moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.0106g}{16g/mole}=0.00066moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00066 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0064}{0.00066}=9.69\approx 10$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.0129}{0.00064}=19.54\approx 20$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.00066}{0.00066}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 10 : 20 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{10}H_{20}O_1=C_{10}H_{20}O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 156.27 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 156 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{156.27g/mol}{156g/mol}=1$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 10)}H_{(1\times 20)}O_{(1\times 1)}=C_{10}H_{20}O$

Thus, the molecular formula for the menthol is $C_{10}H_{20}O$

A standard soft drink can has a volume of 0.355 L. An empty can is sealed while

beks73 [17]

Answer:

0.35 atm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we use Boyle's Law: $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$ , where P is the pressure and V is the volume.

Here, V_1 = 0.355 L, P_1 = 1.0 atm, and V_2 = 0.125 L. So, just plug these values into the equation:

(1.0) * (0.355) = $P_2$ * (0.125) ⇒ $P_2$ ≈ 0.35 atm

Thus, the pressure is 0.35 atm.

Hope this helps!
