Answer:

A: The transfer of heat by currents.

Explanation:

Convection is the transfer of heat by currents, typically within a liquid or a gas. When heat is transferred by convection, matter flows.

Answer: A. the transfer of heat by currents

Explanation: There are three modes of heat transfer:

1) Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two object.  Example: heating a pan on stove.

2) Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of hot layers to the top and cold layers to the bottom which leads to convection currents. Example: Heating of swimming pool.

3) Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space. Example: Heating of earth's surface.

B. The transmission of heat across matter is conduction.

C. The electromagnetic radiation from the surface of an object which is due to the object's temperature is radiation.

D. The transmission of heat across empty space is radiation.

Which statement correctly describes the transfer of energy in the food chain in the land​
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A) Energy is transferred to consumers, which convert it to nitrogen and use it to make amino acid

B) Energy from producers is converted into oxygen and transformed to consumers.

C) Energy from the sun is stored by green plants and transferred to consumers.

D) Energy is transferred to consumers, which use it to produce food.

The answer is C

Explanation:

Organisms obtain energy in an ecosystem by feeding on one another in a chain called FOOD CHAIN. Energy is transferred when one organism feeds on another. A food chain always begins with a PRODUCER, which is an autotrophic organism capable of producing its own food via light energy from the sun.

In a terrestrial ecosystem, the energy a plant captures via Its Chlorophyll is used to produce food during photosynthesis. This energy is stored in the plants and transferred when a set of organisms called PRIMARY CONSUMER feeds on the plant. The transfer continues in that order till decomposers.

“Dry ice” is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Determine the number of mass of CO2 gas in grams that are present in 61.8 L of CO
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Mass  = 121 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass in gram of CO₂ = ?

Volume = 61.8 L

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

Solution:

Formula:

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 61.8 L = n ×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 273.15 k

61.8 L.atm = 22.42 atm.L/ mol × n

n = 61.8 L.atm /22.42 atm.L/ mol

n = 2.76 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass =  number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2.76 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass  = 121 g

When a strip of magnesium metal is placed in an aqueous solution of copper(II) nitrate, elemental copper coats the surface of th
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

1. 2+ (Cu^{2+}).

2. 0 (Cu^0).

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the described chemical reaction is a redox reaction in fact, since the oxidation states of both magnesium and copper change as shown due to the displacement:

Mg(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Mg(NO_3)_2(aq)+Cu(s)

Therefore:

1. Since copper is the cation in the copper (II) nitrate, the (II) means that its charge is 2+ (Cu^{2+}).

2. Since copper is alone, it means no electrons are being neither shared not given, its charge is 0 (Cu^0).

Best regards.

Which of these are true for a hypothesis? (You can pick more than one)
Naya [18.7K]

Hypotheisis is just like an initial building block for a building. The true statements about hypothesis among the given are-

  • First guess- hypothesis is a proposed explanation for something which is observed. Thus the explanation is just a guess and not a proved one.
  • An initial idea which is assumed to be true - The whole experiment or research is based on an assumption which is supposed to be true and the scientist works to prove that true.
