Why is the base of an energy pyramid wider than the top

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]2 years ago
5 0

It is due to a lack of providable energy to the next trophic level of the energy pyramid. Primary consumers only obtain around 10% of energy that producers have, and the energy depletes as you move further and further up the food chain, until you reach the tertiary consumers which have the least amount of energy at their disposal, meaning there are less of them than other organisms further down the energy pyramid.

Key terms: Reset Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon double bond are known as ____________ . Alkenes are electron rich; there
Damm [24]

Answer: Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon double bond are known as _____alkenes_______ . Alkenes are electron rich; therefore, simple alkenes do not react with _____nuceophiles_______ or bases, but will react with _____electrophiles_______ or acids. In the IUPAC system, an alkene is identified by the suffix _____-ene_______ . Addition reactions in which two parts of a reagent are added to the same side of a double bond are known as _____syn_______ additions. Addition reactions in which two parts of a reagent are added from opposite sides of a double bond are called _____anti_______ additions. Halogenation and halohydrin formation occur with _____anti_______ addition. Hydroboration occurs with _____syn_______ addition.

Explanation:

The right terms have been filled into the statement.

Electrophiles are election rich so they react with nucleophiles. And vice versa.

Addition reactions in which two parts of a reagent are added to the same side of a double bond are known as _syn reaction and that involving opposite is anti reaction.

The Halohydrin formation reaction involves breaking a pi bond and creating a halohydrin in its place. Halo = halogen and Hydrin = OH. This reaction takes place in water and yields an anti-addition reaction which follows Markovnikov's rule.

How many grams of silver chloride are produced from 5g of Silver Nitrate reacting with an excess of barium chloride?
monitta
4.22g
1. Work out the equation and balance
2AgNo3 +BaCl2 ---> 2AgCl + Ba(No3)2

2. Work out formula mass of silver nitrate (should = 169.9)

3. Calculate the number of moles by doing moles = mass / formula mass so 5 divided by 169.9 = 0.0294 moles.


4. Check ratio - here the ratio is 2:2 i.e. 2 moles of silver nitrate to 2 moles of silver chloride so the moles will be the same so the moles of silver chloride is also 0.0294

5. Work out the formula mass of AgCl (always ignore big numbers at the start when working out formula mass) = 143.4

6. Work out mass by doing equation moles = mass/formula mass so
mass = moles x formula mass
mass = 0.0294 x 143.4
mass = 4.22g (3sf or 2dp)

Any reaction that absorbs 150 kcal of energy can be classified as
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The answer should be (D) endothermic reaction.

Reason : -  Reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions. In your provided question, 150 kcal energy is being <u>absorbed</u>, and thus, we can say that it is an endothermic reaction.

A boy swings a rubber ball attached to a string over his head in a horizontal, circular path. The piece of string is 1.15 m long
gregori [183]

Answer:

v = 16.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the string, l = 1.15 m

The ball makes 137 complete turns each minute.

We know that, 1 turn = 6.28 rad

137 turns = 860.79 rad

1 min = 60 s

\omega=\dfrac{860.79\ rad}{60\ s}\\\\=14.34\ rad/s

We need to find the tangential velocity of the ball. It can be given by

v=r\omega\\\\=1.15\times 14.34\\\\v=16.49\ m/s

So, the tangential velocity of the ball is 16.49 m/s.
