Explain how carbon is conserved in the carbon cycle.
1 answer:
<h2> Interconversion of energy.</h2>
Explanation:
- Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils in the form of cycle.
- When we take in oxygen we release carbon dioxide gas
into the atmosphere.
- Animals and plants give carbon dioxide gas through the process called respiration and transpiration.
- From fossil fuels carbon moves in the atmosphere.
- The fuels like wood or coal when burned releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
- The Matter is conserved in the carbon cycle as carbon absorbs energy and then it releases the same amount of energy.
- Carbon changes from one form to another, but the total amount of carbon remains the same.

Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.
Explanation:
Temperature of Solid
Melting temperature of Solid
Temperature of liquid
Specific heats of solid ethanol = 0.97 J/gK
Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK
Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid at 159 K
= 159 K - 138 K = 21 K
Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of upto 223 K
= 223 K - 159 K = 64 K
Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :
(1kJ=1000J)
Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.
