Yes he can invert the pyramid

Explanation:

The pyramid of energy shows a graphical illustration of the amount of energy present at each trophic level.

  • In an ecosystem, the energy decreases as we move from producers to tertiary consumers higher up in the pyramid.
  • In this example, the insects are the primary consumers and the energy flows from them to the secondary consumers which are the bird.
  • The insects are abundant in population compared to the bird.
  • The energy accrued to the bird from feeding on the producers is higher when compared to that derived from the birds feeding on the primary consumers and on.
  • This sequence can be inverted in the reverse sequence.
  • This will give an inverted pyramid of energy.
  • Here, we can specifically the number of insect each bird feeds on.
  • It could also be in the form that the bird dies and some insects begins to feed on it for energy.

If 36 000 kg of full cream milk containing 4% fat is to be separated in a 6 hour period into skim milk with 0.45% fat and cream
Yuri [45]

Answer:

B=5522.33kg/h

C=478.11kg/h

Explanation:

Hi! It's a mass balance. First we have to determine the inflow.

mass flow rate = 36000kg / 6h = 6000kg / h

We define the input variable

- input flow (A) = 6000kg / h

-XgA = percentage of fat in A = 0.04

We define output variables.

- skim milk (B)

-creme (C)

-XgB = fat percentage at B = 0.0045

-XgC = percentage of fat in C = 0.45

Then we can start with the balance.

As a general rule, the mass balance is:

Input = Output

Balance sheet

1) A = B + C

Fat balance

2) A * XgA = B * XgB + C * XgC

Now we can solve.

We replace and clear B in equation 2

6000kg / h * 0.04 = B * 0.0045 + C * 0.45

B = (240kg / h) /0.045-C*0.45/0.0045

3) B = 53333.33kg / h-C * 100

We replace equation 3 in 1 and clear C

A = B + C

6000kg / h = 53333.33kg / h-C * 100 + C

C=(6000kg/h-53333.33kg/h)/(-99)

C=478.11kg/h

We replace C in equation 3 and calculate B

B = 53333.33kg / h-478.11kg/h * 100

B=5522.33kg/h

Then we have the values ​​of the outflows.

C=478.11kg/h

B=5522.33kg/h

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

Elements that belong to same group contains same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

When we move across a period then number of electrons get added to the same shell. As a result, there will be no increase in size of elements.

Also, metals are the elements that belong to group 1, 2 and d-block elements are also known as metals. Metallic character of elements decreases when we move left to right in a periodic table.

As most reactive metals are placed on the left side of periodic table.

Since, size of elements increases on moving down the group. So, an element is able to easily lose its valence electrons because of less force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons.

As a result, there will be increase in reactivity of metals on moving down the group.

Thus, we can conclude that given sentences are as follows.

  • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
  • Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
  • Metallic elements become less reactive as you move left to right in a period.
  • Metallic elements become more reactive as you move top to bottom in a group.

If an acid has a ka=1.6x10^-10, what is the acidity of the solution?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The information given in the question is not enough to determine the acidity of the solution. This is because, acidity can only be found with the equation: pH = -log [H+].
 In order to determine the acidity of the solution, the half titration point value is needed, this will make it possible to determine the value of H30+.  If the half point titration value is known, then Ka will be equivalent to pH and the value will be evaluated using the equation: - log (1.6 * 10^-10).
