The process where fossil fuels, forests, or other carbon-containing substances are burned, addin more carbon dioxide to the air is the combustion.

Some examples of combustion are:

Fossil fuel:

Carbon + O2

C + O2 -> CO2

Forests (wood)

Wood = cellulose = [C6H10O5]n

[C6H10O5]n + 6nO2 = 6n CO2 + 5n H2O

So, in general the combustion of organic matter produces CO2 and water.

According to the graph, if you are in a biome where the annual precipitation is about 300 cm and the average temperature is arou
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

We are in Tropical Rainforests.

Explanation:

Biome is basically an ecological region of earth that has specific type of flora and fauna (plants and animals). Every biome has specific abiotic factors like specific climate, temperature, geology, vegetation, soils and relief.

There are total 8 biomes in the world

  • Desert
  • Grassland
  • Temperate Boreal Forest  
  • Chaparral
  • Tropical Savanna
  • Tropical Rainforest
  • Tundra
  • Temperate Deciduous Forest

Now in our question, we have been given some conditions and are asked to identify the biome. The annual precipitation is about 300 cm and the average temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius.

Now, if we study the characteristics of all these biomes, it is very simple to identify that the biome is Tropical Rainforest.

Important characteristics of Tropical Rainforest:

  • They receive more than 200 cm of rain each year.
  • The temperature of the biome is between 20 degree Celsius and 25 degree Celsius during the whole year.
  • Around 50 percent of the animal specie of the world are found here.

<em>Note: </em><em>You can study the characteristics of world’s other biomes in the link : http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/9k.html </em>


Hope it helps!  :)

Slicing an average loaf of bread gives 13 medium thickness slices. Each slice of bread is to be coated with 0.0500 oz of mayonna
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Explanation:

Number of slices of ham = 231

Given that each sandwich has 1 slice of ham.

Then 231 slices of ham will be in :

1\times 231 =231 sandwiches

A single sandwich is made up of 2 bread slices , Then bread slices in 231 sandwiches will be :

231\times 2=462

Each bread slice is applied with 0.0500 ounce of mayonnaise.

Then 462 bread slices will have :

462\times 0.0500 ounces=18.48 Oz

1 bread loaf = 13 bread slices

Then breads loves in 462  bread slices :

\frac{462}{13}=35.54\approx 36

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.
