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!

To understand the relation between the strength of an acid or a base and its pKa and pKb values. The degree to which a weak acid
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

pKa = 3.675

Explanation:

  • pKa = - Log Ka

∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M

∴ pH = 2.40

let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):

∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-

⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]

mass balance:

⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]

⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]

charge balance:

⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water

⇒ [H+] = [A-]

∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40

⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )

⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )

⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4

⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )

⇒ pKa = 3.675

♔♔Can water stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius?✞♡♡♡​
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Yes, water can stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius. There are a few ways in which this can happen. The freezing point of water drops below zero degrees Celsius as you apply pressure. When we apply pressure to a liquid, we force the molecules to get closer together.

Explanation:

Hope this helps you. Have a nice day.^_^

Please mark as brainliest. It helps a lot:)
