Energy decreases along a food chain in an ecosystem. How is this explained by the law of conversation of energy? (A) living thin

gs change energy into matter (b) the energy is changed to a different form (c) only small amounts of energy can be destroyed at a time (d) energy is used up when living things conduct life processes

B. the energy is changed into a different form

...because the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes form. Energy can't just disappear, therefore, it is converted into a different form as it passes through the food chain.

We apply the same amount of energy to 10.0-g samples of aluminum, iron, and silver which begin at the same temperature.
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

A sound knowledge of specific heat capacity of the metals is required in this case.

The specific heat capacity of a metal is the quantity of heat required to the raise the temperature of a unit mass of it by 1°C.

It is related to quantity of heat using the expression below;

               H   =   m  c  Δt

where m is the mass

            c is the specific heat capacity

            Δt is the temperature change

let us make the specific the subject of the expression;

                     c  = \frac{H}{m x change in temperature}

we can see that there is an inverse relationship between specific heat and temperature change.

The specific heat capacity of a body is an intensive property that is unique to the metal.

   The higher the specific heat capacity, the lower the amount of temperature change in it.

Let us find the specific heat capacity of the given metals;

 Aluminium     0.897J/gK

 Iron                 0.412J/gK

 Silver               0.24J/gK

 After the heat is supplied,

      Silver >  Iron > Aluminium in terms of temperature change

What is the mass of HF produced by three reaction of 3.0 10 to the 23 molecules of H2 with excess F2
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

It is 20. g HF

Explanation:

H2 + F2 ==> 2HF  ...  balanced equation

Since the question is asking us to find the mass of product formed, we will want to first convert the molecules of H2 into moles of H2 (we could do this at the end of the calculations, but it's just as easy to do it now).

moles of H2 present (using Avogadro's number):  

3.0x1023 molecules H2 x 1 mole H2/6.02x1023 molecules = 0.498 moles H2

From the balanced equation, we see that 1 mole H2 produces 2 moles HF.  Therefore, we can now find the theoretical mass of HF produced from 0.498 moles H2:

0.498 moles H2 x 2 moles HF/1 mol H2 = 0.996 moles HF formed.

The molar mass of HF = 20.01 g/mole, thus...

0.996 moles HF x 20.01 g/mole = 19.93 g HF = 20. g HF formed (to 2 significant figures)

What is chemical reaction?​
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as distinct from a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction.

Or

Chemical reaction, a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products. ... A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products.

What mass of compound must be weighed out to have a 0.0223 mol sample of H2C2O4 (M=90.04 g/mol)?
rodikova [14]
Mass of  H2C2O4 :

mm = 90.04 g/mol

number of moles : 0.0223 moles

m = n * mm

m = 0.0223 * 90.04

m = 2.007 g 

hope this helps!.

Must show units and how they cancelli 1.) 175 km to um 3.) 385 nm to dm 5.) 492 um tom 7.) 52 x 103 dm to mm 9.) 321x 1035 mm to
morpeh [17]

Explanation:

1.) 175 km to μm

1 km=10^9 \mu m

175 km=175\times 10^9\mu m=1.75\times 10^{11} \mu m

3.) 385 nm to dm

1 nm=10^{-8} dm

385 nm=385\times 10^{-8} dm=3.85\times 10^{-6} dm

5.) 492 μm  to m

1 μm =  10^{-6} m

492 \μm=492\times 10^{-6} m=4.92\times 10^{-4} m

7.) 52\times 10^3 dm to mm

1 dm = 100 mm

52\times 10^3 dm=52\times 10^3\times 100 mm=5.2\times 10^{6}dm

9.) 321\times 10^{35} mm to km

1 mm = 10^{-6} km

321\times 10^{35} mm=321\times 10^{35}\times 10^{-6} km=3.21\times 10^{31} km

11.) 456\times 10^3 m to km

m = 0.001 km

456\times 10^3m =456\times 10^3 m\times 0.001 km=456 km

13.) 422\times 10^3 m to nm

1 m = 10^{9} nm

422\times 10^3 m=422\times 10^3\times 10^{9} nm=4.22\times 10^{14} nm

15.) 4.87\times 10^{30} m to pm

1 m = 10^{12} pm

4.87\times 10^{30} m=4.87\times 10^{30}\times 10^{12} pm=4.82\times 10^{42} pm

17.) 5.26\times 10^3 m to um

1 m =  10^{6} \mu m

5.26\times 10^3 m=5.26\times 10^3\times 10^6 \mu m=5.26\times 10^{9} \mu m

19.) 1.25\times 10^{35}m to Mm

1 m =  10^{-6} Mm

1.25\times 10^{35} m=1.25\times 10^{35}\times 10^{-6} Mm=1.25\times 10^{-29} Mm

21.) 4.22\times 10^3 Tm to nm

1 Tm = 10^{21} nm

4.22\times 10^3 Tm=4.22\times 10^3\times 10^{21} nm=4.22\times 10^{24} nm
