Mature elephants consume an average of 600 pounds of food per day. If an elephant

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the adult life

If the elephant is an adult from its 10th birthday until the day before its 56th birthday, its

Adult life = 55 - 10 + 1 = 46 yr

2. Convert years to days

$\text{Adult life} = \text{46 yr} \times \dfrac{\text{365.25 da}}{\text{1 yr}} = \text{16 800 da}$

3. Convert days to pounds of feed

$\text{Feed} = \text{16 800 da} \times \dfrac{\text{600 lb}}{\text{1 da}} = 1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb}$

4. Convert pounds to kilograms and megagrams

$\text{Feed} =1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.20 lb}} =\textbf{4 600 000 kg} = \textbf{4600 Mg}\\\\\text{The elephant will eat $\large \boxed{\textbf{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$ of food.}$

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for age of the elephant.

A balloon contains 269.7 L of helium at 6.12ºC and 1.00 atm. What is the temperature (in ºC) of the gas if the volume has increa

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

T2= 7.3°C

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use Charles law equation i.e,

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Given data

V1 = 269.7 L

T1 = 6.12 °C

V2= 320.4 L

T2=?

Solution:

Now we will put the values in equation

269.7 L / 6.12°C = 320.4 L / T2

T2= 320.4 L × 6.12°C/ 269.7 L

T2= 1960.85 °C. L /269.7 L

T2= 7.3°C

The most common source of copper (cu) is the mineral chalcopyrite (cufes2). how many kilograms of chalcopyrite must be mined to

tigry1 [53]

Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Cu = 300 g

Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole

Molar mass of $CuFeS_2$ = 183.511 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

$\text{ Moles of Cu}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of Cu}}{\text{ Molar mass of Cu}}= \frac{300g}{63.546g/mole}=4.7209moles$

The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles

From the given chemical formula, $CuFeS_2$ we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.

So, The moles of Cu = Moles of $CuFeS_2$ = 4.4209 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of $CuFeS_2$ .

Mass of $CuFeS_2$ = Moles of $CuFeS_2$ × Molar mass of $CuFeS_2$ = 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g

Mass of $CuFeS_2$ = 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.

Arsenic produces a blue flame when heated. Calcium produces an orange-red flame. Which of these best explains why this differenc

MrMuchimi

Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. When you heat it, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty orbitals at higher levels Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.
