kes up the apple? A. Water softens the apple and its material dissolves into the ground. B. Sunlight decomposes the apple and recycles its material into the soil. C.

Answer:

D. Microscopic organisms break down the apple and release its material into the soil and air.

Explanation:

Without microscopic organisms today, everything that has died or fallen will still remain on the ground. Fungi, bacteria, and etc. play an essential role in the Earth's ecosystem by breaking down organic material.

3) identify and describe three abiotic characteristics of ecosystems. Give an example of how each
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The abiotic characteristics of an ecosystem that affects man includes: Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity.

Explanation:

In the ecosystem, man occupies the terrestrial habitat which is affected by the abiotic factors listed above.

Abiotic (non- living) factors determine the type of biotic (living) community that is found in an ecosystem. These factors include Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity, just to mention a few.

--> LAND SURFACE: This is responsible for the marked variation in the vegetation of a place. For example, a mountain in the tropics may have a rain forest vegetation at it's base and an afroalpine vegetation near its peak. The gradient of the slope affects the growth of organisms. A steep slope encourage fast run - off of water and therefore encourages erosion, which results in shallow and infertile soil. This in turn AFFECT man's farming activities as there would be little to no crop yield.

--> RAINFALL: Water is a very important abiotic factor that affects life. The main source of water to terrestrial habitat is rainfall. When rain falls, a greater percentage of it sinks into the soil while the rest run- off into water bodies. Water is absorbed by root hairs into the plant and used for photosynthesis to produce food. The absence of rainfall in the environment of man could lead to drought which AFFECTS man negatively.

--> RELATIVE HUMIDITY: This is a measure of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. It's usually high in hot wet regions. It affects the rate at which water evaporates from the body surfaces of organisms. Low relative humidity cause more water (sweat) to evaporate from body surfaces giving the human body a cooling effect. But in high relative humidity, the sweat cannot evaporate leaving the body feeling hot and sticky. This AFFECTS man as the body tries to cool off in a harder way by increasing rate of respiration and depth of blood circulation.

How is enthalpy used to predict whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic?
Radda [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>329.48 KJ/mol heat is released by the combustion of 2 molof methane</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The value of enthalpy determines whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. If the enthalpy change is positive, then the reaction is endothermic (heat or energy released) and if the enthalpy change is negative then the reaction is exothermic (heat or energy absorbed).

2CH_4(g)+4O_2(g) => 2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

\Delta H \ reaction=[ 2(\Delta HfCO_2)+ 4(\Delta HfH_2O)]-[2(\Delta HfCH_4)+4(\Delta HfO_2)]

                            =2 ( -(393.5 KJ)/mol)-[2( -74.6 KJ/mol)+4(-241.82 KJ/mol)]

                            = -787 KJ/mol-[ -149.2 KJ/mol-967.28 KJ/mol]

                           = -787 KJ/mol+1116.48 KJ/mol

                                          =329.48 KJ/mol

<em>In this question, </em><em>the enthalpy of formation</em><em> has positive value and hence the </em><em>reaction is endothermic</em><em> in which the heat is released. </em>

Group the terms according to the subatomic particle they describe.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the completed question can be seen in the document attached.

There are three main subatomic particles namely electrons, protons and neutrons. However, the question only discusses two of them; electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged).

A. Found in all matter

Answer: They are <u>both</u> found in all matter since all matter are made up of atoms and all atoms have both protons and electrons (and even neutrons).

B. Negative charge

Answer: The subatomic particle with negative charge (as discovered by R.A Millikan) is the <u>electron</u>

C. Exists in the nucleus

The subatomic particles found in the nucleus are the <u>protons</u> and neutrons.

D. Attract opposite charges

They <u>both</u> (protons and electrons) attract opposite charges because they are of opposite charges and generally unlike charges attract.

E. Moves at extreme speed

Of the two subatomic particles mentioned, <u>electrons</u> move faster than protons because of there lighter mass when compared to the protons. However, the fastest subatomic particle is the neutrino.

F. Bound by strong force

The <u>protons</u> are bound by strong nuclear force which binds them to the nucleus of the atom.
