Answer:
a) 0 J
b) W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)
c) ΔQ = nRTln(Vf/Vi)
d) ΔQ = W
Explanation:
a) To find the change in the internal energy you use the 1st law of thermodynamics:

Q: heat transfer
W: work done by the gas
The gas is compressed isothermally, then, there is no change in the internal energy and you have
ΔU = 0 J
b) The work is done by the gas, not over the gas.
The work is given by the following formula:

n: moles
R: ideal gas constant
T: constant temperature
Vf: final volume
Vi: initial volume
Vf < Vi, then W < 0 and the work is done on the gas
c) The gas has been compressed. Thus, its temperature increases and heat has been transferred to the gas.
The amount of heat is equal to the work done W
d)

The bottleneck event of the plants in an area results in secondary succession.
<h2>What is bottleneck event?</h2>
A bottleneck is an event that drastically reduces the population size of an organism. The bottleneck may be caused by various events, such as an environmental disaster, the hunting or habitat destruction that results in the deaths of organisms.
<h3>Secondary succession</h3>
Secondary succession is a type of ecological succession in which plants and animals recolonize a habitat after a major disturbance such as a devastating flood, wildfire, landslide, lava flow, or human activity e.g., farming or road or building construction.

Answer:
If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm
If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm
Explanation:
R₁ = Resistance of first resistor
R₂ = Resistance of second resistor
V = Voltage of battery = 12 V
I = Current = 0.33 A (series)
I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)
In series

In parallel


Solving the above quadratic equation


∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm
If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm
