The Answer should be A.

Mars2501 [29]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is option(A).

Explanation:

Food chain: Predecessor is eaten by the successor in the food chain

For example:Grass→ deer→Loin

Grass is Predecessor and deer is successor

The energy availability decreases as food chains gets longer because the energy gained by the organism from the predecessor of the food chain gets spend in life processes like: respiration, movement etc. And This lead to lost of energy in the form of heat to the surrounding.

Hence,the correct answer is option (A).

An ionic bond occurs between what particles?
atroni [7]

Answer:

A positive and negative ion.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference.

The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.  Sodium have one valance electron while chlorine have 7 valance electrons. In order to complete the octet chlorine require one electron while sodium need to lose its one electrons. That's why when both atom combine sodium lose its electron and becomes positive ion i.e cation while chlorine accept its electron and becomes negative ion called anion and bond between them is ionic bond.

In the laboratory you dilute 5.32 mL of a concentrated 6.00 M perchloric acid solution to a total volume of 100 mL. What is the
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.3192 M

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of stock solution (V1) = 5.32 mL Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 6 M

Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 100 mL

Molarity of diluted solution (M2) =?

We can obtain the molarity of the diluted solution by using the dilution formula as shown follow:

M1V1 = M2V2

6 × 5.32 = M2 ×100

31.92 = M2 × 100

Divide both side by 100

M2 = 31.92 / 100

M2 = 0.3192 M

Therefore, the molarity of the diluted solution is 0.3192 M.

What isotope is used for a standard for other atomic masses?
sergeinik [125]
Though the ratio of any two atom's masses was the same on either scale, it was horribly confusing, so in 1961, a compromise was reached. Instead of using either Hydrogen, or Oxygen as the standard, the isotope of Carbon<span> with 6 </span>protons<span> and 6 neutrons in its nucleus (</span>Carbon-12<span>) was given a mass of exactly 12.</span>

A cleaning bottle contains 83.1 g of ammonia. How many molecules of ammonia are in the bottle?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

2.94 x 10^2^4

Explanation:

First we need to find out how many moles of ammonia there are, using the formula: Mass = mr x moles.

We know the mass is 83.1g, now we need to find the mR of ammonia - NH3.

N = 14, H = 1, so 14 + (3x1) = an mr of 17.

Moles = mass/ mr = 83.1/17 = 4.8882

Now we can multiply the moles by avogadro's constant to find the number of molecules:

4.8882 x (6.02 x 10^2^3 ) = 2.94 x 10^2^4 molecules of ammonia
