Answer:

Equilibrium in ecology refers to a state that occurs such that a small disturbance or change is counter balanced by another change so that the community is restored to its original state. Thus, as a community goes through multiple changes through each stage of succession, it is not in equilibrium.

A freezer compartment is covered with a 2-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

$q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T$

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

$q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}$

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

$V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3$

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

$M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg$

Then, the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

$Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ$

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

$t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}= 11690s=3.25h$

Give examples of how land resources are used in a city setting

poizon [28]

Answer:

Land resources such as gravel and bedrock are used to construct buildings, roads, and sidewalks. Land is also where city structures—such as buildings, roads, and sidewalks—are constructed. People use land resources such as bedrock and aggregate to construct buildings, roads, and sidewalks.

What is the molariity of a 50.0 mL aqueous solution containing 10.0 grams of table salt, NaCl?

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

3 mol/L

Explanation:

You should know or have the equation to solve for Molarity which is;

M = n/v (M: Molarity) (n: moles of solute) (v: Liters of solute)

You can start off differently but I would start by converting the mL to L. This is your "v" value.

50.0 mL/ 1000 mL = 0.05 L

Now, you have to convert grams to moles in order to solve for molarity (M).

1.) On the periodic table find the molecular weights of Na and Cl.

Na= 22.99 g/mol Cl= 35.45g/mol

2.) Add them together to have their combined molecular weights.

22.99 + 35.45= 58.44 g/mol

3.) Now, you're going to use the "picket fence method" or whichever your teacher taught you to convert from grams to moles. This will be your "n" value. (I cannot show it on here without it looking weird, so my sincere apologies.)

10.0 g/ 58.44 g = 0.17111 mol

4.)You are now going to plug in your answers into the equation for Molarity.

M= 0.17111 mol / 0.05 L = 3.4222

5.) I am sure your professor might be a stickler so for sig figs sake when you multiply or divide use the smallest amount of sig figs you see which is 1. Round 3.4222 to 3 mol/L

Sorry this explanation is long let me know if you need a better more written out sample.
