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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 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.


Hope this helped!

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L at 198 ºC. Assuming that the pressure remains constant, what tem
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L

Temperature = 198 °C = 471 K

The volume will be reduced to 2.50 L

Step 2 Calculate the new temperature via Charles' law

V1/T2 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 5.10 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 471 K

⇒with V2 = the reduced volume of the gas = 2.50 L

⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

5.10 L / 471 K = 2.50 L / T2

T2 = 2.50 L / (5.10 L / 471 K)

T2 = 230.9 K = -42.1

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Need help on last 3 questions
Olin [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

1)

Given data:

Initial volume of balloon = 0.8 L

Initial temperature = 12°C ( 12+273= 285 K)

Final temperature = 300°C (300+273 = 573 K)

Final volume = ?

Solution:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 0.8 L .573 K / 285 K

V₂ = 458.4 L / 285

V₂ = 1.61 L

2)

Initial pressure = 204 kpa

Initial temperature = 29°C ( 29 + 273 = 302 K)

Final temperature = ?

Final pressure = 300 kpa

Solution:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

T₂ = T₁P₂/P₁  

T₂ = 302 K . 300 kpa / 204 kpa

T₂ = 90600 K/ 204

T₂ = 444.12 K

3)

Given data:

Initial volume = 14 L

Initial pressure = 2.1 atm

Initial temperature = 100 K

Final temperature = 450 K

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1.2 atm

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 2.1 atm × 14 L × 450 K / 100 K × 1.2 atm  

V₂ = 13230 L / 120

V₂ = 110.25 L
