Net production efficiency (NPE) is defined as the product of 100 and the quotient of net consumer productivity and assimilation.

If the invertebrate primary consumers of an ecosystem exhibit a NPE of about 20% and pass on about 1000 kcal/m2/yr to secondary consumers, what is the assimilation of the primary consumers?
A. 1000 kcal/m2/yrB. 2000 kcal/m2/yrC. 5000 kcal/m2/yr

Answer:

The assimilation of the primary consumer is 5000 kcal/m2/yr, option C.

Explanation:

From the information in the question, the Net Production Efficiency, NPE can be calculated using 100Cp/AS.

Where CP is the consumer productivity and AS is the Assimilation.

Therefore, 20 = 100 x 1000/AS

AS = 100,000/20 = 5000 kcal/m2/yr. Option C.

What pressure, in atm, will be exerted by 8 moles of a gas at 300
Alchen [17]

Answer:

3.94 atm

Explanation:

Using the general gas law equation as follows;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P = ?

V = 50 L

T = 300K

n = 8 mol

Using PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = (8 × 0.0821 × 300) ÷ 50

P = 197.04 ÷ 50

P = 3.94 atm
