Answer:

The rest of the energy is passed on as food to the next level of the food chain. The figure at the left shows energy flow in a simple food chain. Notice that at each level of the food chain, about 90% of the energy is lost in the form of heat.

Nitric oxide, NO, is made from the oxidation of NH3, and the reaction is represented by the equation: 4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O Wh

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

16.16g of O2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of NH3 and O2 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of NH3 = 14 + (3x1) = 17g/mol

Mass of NH3 from the balanced equation = 4 x 17 = 68g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 5 x 32 = 160g.

From the balanced equation above,

68g of NH3 reacted with 160g of O2.

Now, we can calculate the mass of O2 that will be required to react completely with 6.87 g of NH3. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

68g of NH3 reacted with 160g of O2

Therefore, 6.87g of NH3 will react with = (6.87 x 160)/68 = 16.16g of O2.

Therefore, 16.16g of O2 is needed for the reaction.

A 0. 1220 g vitamin c tablet was dissolved in acid. This required 11. 50 ml of 0. 01740 m kio3 to reach the endpoint. Calculate

kodGreya [7K]

86.66 % by weight of ascorbic acid in the tablet, when 0. 1220 g vitamin c tablet was dissolved in acid. This required 11. 50 ml of 0. 01740 m $KIO_3$ to reach the endpoint.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation?</h3>

A balanced chemical reaction is an equation that has equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.

$3C_6H_80_6 +3I_2 +KIO_3 +5KI +6H^+$ → $3C_6H_60_6 +6I^- +3I_2+6K^+ +3H_2O$

So, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction will be:

$3C_6H_8O_6 +KIO_3$ → $3C_6H_6O_6 +KI + 3H_2O$

That means, 3 mol of of ascorbic acid reacts with 1 mol of $KIO_3$

Moles of $KIO_3$ available is 0.0174 X 0.0115 =0.0002001 mol

Moles of ascorbic acid to be yielded should be 3 X 0.0002001 =0.0006003

So, percent mass of ascorbic acid in the tablet will be:

(0.1057 / 0.1220) X 100 %

=86.66 %

Hence, the third option is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements about the carbon cycle is NOT true?

nalin [4]

Answer:

Plants consume carbon through transpiration

Explanation:

In transpiration, plants lose water vapor through the stomata in their leaves. No carbon is involved in transpiration, which has an outbound direction. Nothing can be consumed through the stomata when vapor is going out of the plant. It´s like trying to get in through the exit.

A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. He carefully weighs out 28.mg of oxalic acid H2C2

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution is 0.0219 M

Explanation:

1) Chemical reaction.

a) Kind of reaction: neutralization

b) General form: acid + base → salt + water

c) Word equation:

sodium hydroxide + oxalic acid → sodium oxalate + water

d) Chemical equation:

NaOH + H₂C₂O₄ → Na₂C₂O₄ + H₂O

b) Balanced chemical equation:

2NaOH + H₂C₂O₄ → Na₂C₂O₄ + 2H₂O

2) Mole ratio

2mol Na OH : 1 mol H₂C₂O₄ :1 mol Na₂C₂O₄ : 2 mol H₂O

3) Starting amount of oxalic acid

mass = 28 mg = 0.028 g
molar mass = 90.03 g/mol
Convert mass in grams to number of moles, n:

n = mass in grams / molar mass = 0.028 g / 90.03 g/mol = 0.000311 mol

4) Titration

Volume of base: 28.4 mL = 0.0248 liter
Concentration of base: x (unknwon)

Number of moles of acid: 2.52 mol (calculated above)

Proportion using the theoretical mole ratio (2mol Na OH : 1 mol H₂C₂O₄)

$\frac{2}{1} =\frac{x}{2.52}\\ \\ \\x=0.000311(2)=0.000622$

That means that there are 0.000622 moles of NaOH (solute)

5) Molarity of NaOH solution

M = n / V (liter) = 0.000622 mol / 0.0284 liter = 0.0219 M

That is the correct number using three signficant figures, such as the starting data are reported.

The radioactivity due to carbon-14 measured in a piece of a wooden casket from an ancient burial site was found to produce 20 co

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

17202.6 years

Explanation:

Activity of the living sample (Ao) = 160 counts per minute

Activity of the wood sample (A) = 20 counts per minute

Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

t= age of the artifact

From;

0.693/t1/2= 2.303/t log Ao/A

Then;

0.693/ 5730= 2.303/t log Ao/A

Substituting values;

0.693/5730= 2.303/t log (160/20)

Then we obtain;

1.209×10^-4 = 2.0798/t

t= 2.0798/1.209×10^-4

Thus;

t= 17202.6 years

Therefore the artifact is 17202.6 years old.
