3 0

The answer is chemical change

That is exploding of potassium metal when placed in water is chemical change.

When potassium is dropped into a beaker full of water then potassium moves about rapidly and then ignites within seconds, that is  the metal is gone and all activity ceases.

So it an example of chemical change.

The reaction of potassium with water is as follows:

2K + 2H₂O ---->2KOH + H₂

Answer the following questions about the fermentation of glucose (C6H12O6, molar mass 180.2 g/mol)
Yuri [45]

The amount of energy in kilocalories released from 49 g of glucose given the data is -4.4 Kcal

How to determine the mole of glucose

Mass of glucose = 49 g

Molar mass of glucose = 180.2 g/mol

Mole of glucose = ?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of glucose = 49 / 180.2

Mole of glucose = 0.272 mole

How to determine the energy released

C₆H₁₂O₆ →2C₂H₆O + 2CO₂  ΔH = -16 kcal/mol

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of glucose released -16 kcal of energy

Therefore,

0.272 mole of glucose will release = 0.272 × -16 = -4.4 Kcal

Thus, -4.4 Kcal were released from the reaction

What adaptations of the harpy eagle allow it to be such a successful rainforest predator?
IgorC [24]
The ranking of most eagles in the food chain is at the top. They are called apex predator.

The harpy eagle is one of the largest eagle there is. Common to most eagles are its sharpness of their vision. Most eagles use it to sight their predator while circling above the ground at a distance unseen by the prey. However, harpy eagles adapted a way of hunting prey which is called perch-hunting.

Perch-hunting is a way of looking for predator by scanning the trees for prey by flying in short distances from a tree to another tree. The harpy eagle developed this skill since it is hard to sight a prey in a rain forest because of the leaves and trees blocking its vision. Hence, perch-hunting is very apt for the scenario of a rain forest eagle.
