Producers eliminate is the answer

The sun is the primary source of energy. Without it, plants wouldn’t be alive. Without plants, consumers, such as herbivores, would not be alive because plants are the producers. So, the answer is D, the sun. If you still don’t understand, let me know and I will try to explain in further detail to the best of my ability. Hope this helped!

Which of the following atoms has six valence electrons? (2 points)

irakobra [83]

The correct answer is Sulfur (S).

Sulfur has 6 valence electrons because it is located in Group 16 (or the sixth group over if you don’t count the transition metals). This means that one atom of sulfur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell out of 8 total “spots”, which you can count by counting the group numbers (excluding the transition metals) from Group 1 (with one valence electron) to Group 18 (the noble gases with full valence or outer shells).

By this same logic, Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons and Cesium (Cs) has 1 valence electron, so neither of these is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Trimix 10/50 is a gas mixture that contians 10% oxygen and 50% helium, and the rest is nitrogen. If a tank of trimix 10/50 has a

Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

Dalton's law states that the sum of the partial pressures of each gas equals the total pressure of the gas mixture. According to this law,

Pi = xi P

where Pi is the partial pressure of the gas i, xi is the mole fraction of the gas i in the gas mixture and P is the total pressure.

The mole fraction is defined as the quotient between the moles of solute (ni) and the total moles of the mixture (nt), which is calculated by adding the moles of all its components:

xi = $\frac{n_{i} }{n_{t} }$

In the Trimix 10/50 mix you have 10% oxygen, 50% helium and 40% nitrogen.

To calculate the total number of moles of the mixture and thus determine the molar fraction of helium, we consider 100 g and calculate the number of moles that represent 10 g of O₂ (n₁), 50 g of He (n₂) and 40 g of N₂ (n₃):

n₁ = 10 g x $\frac{1 mol}{31.998 g}$ = 0.313 mol

n₂ = 50 g x $\frac{1 mol}{8.005 g}$ = 6.246 mol

n₃ = 40 g x $\frac{1 mol}{28.013 g}$ = 1.428 mol

Then the total number of moles (nt) will be:

nt = n₁ + n₂ + n₃ = 0.313 mol + 6.246 mol +1.428 mol

nt = 7,987 mol

Then, the mole fraction of helium (x₂) in the mixture will be,

x₂ = $\frac{6.246 mol}{7.987 mol}$ = 0.78

and the partial pressure of helium in the mixture, according to Dalton's law, will be:

P₂ = x₂ P = 0.78 x 2.07 x 10⁴ kPa

P₂= 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

So, the partial pressure of helium if a tank of trimix 10/50 has a total pressure of 2.07 x 104 kPa is 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

The photon of light that is emitted as an electron drops back to its original orbit is:

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

energy

Explanation:

The photon of light that is emitted as an electron drops back to its original orbit is energy and this energy is released during de-excitation process.

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits. For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

adam wants to investigate the strengths of different acids and alkalis. He has 2 different acid solutions and 2 different alkali

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The strength of an acid or alkali depends on the degree of dissociation of the acid or alkali in water. The degree of dissociation measures the percentage of acid molecules that ionise when dissolved in water. He could use universal indicators or litmus paper for this.
