In the ocean, light is used by phytoplankton in order to produce sugar. 10% of the energy from the sun is available to the zooplankton that eat the phytoplankton, the rest of the energy is lost as heat or through powering body building/functions/reproduction. Whatever eats the zooplankton receives 10% of that energy in order to grow
B.) Gravitational force decreases.

Answer:
second option and last option
Explanation:
Know how to do an electron configuration. This is correct because it adds up to 8 and is in the correct order.
All valence electrons are in the last shell. In this case, 2p is the last shell.
Answer:
2H2O2(aq)→ 2H2O(l) O2(g) : The oxidation number of oxygen for each compound is -1, -2, 0
Explanation:
In peroxides the oxidation state of oxygen is -1, since one oxygen bonds to the other oxygen and a hydrogen and the bound oxygen captures the electron of the remaining hydrogen. Through a scheme would be
H --- O --- O --- H
We remember that oxygen needs two electrons to get to have the configuration of the nearest noble gas (Lewis octet rule). In Peroxides, the oxygen is linked by covalent bonds. If we take it strictly, peroxide is a grouping of two oxygen, having the whole valence -2. which is why it is usually said that it is when oxygen has a valence -1
As we said the oxidation state is -2, the one that appears in the water molecule, since Hydrogen acts with valence +1 and it is 2 atoms that give up electrons to compensate for oxygen.
In the O2 it acts with valence 0 since we talk about gas in its elementary state. All diatomic molecules in their elemental state, generally gases or metals in solid state, act with a valence of 0.
Explanation:
When a strong acid, say
reacts which a weak base, say
, the reaction is shown below as:-

The salt further reacts with water as shown below:-

Formation of
lowers the pH value of the solution as more hydrogen ions leads to less pH.
