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.

What is the maximum mass of aluminum chloride that could be obtained from 6 mol of barium chloride?
kodGreya [7K]
You have to find the stoichiometric ratio between AlCl₃ and BaCl₂. The common element between them is Cl. So, the ratio of Cl in BaCl₂ to AlCl₃ is 2/3. The molar mass of AlCl₃ is 133.34 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of AlCl₃ = (6 mol BaCl₂)(2 mol Cl/1 mol BaCl₂)(1 mol AlCl₃/3 mol Cl)(133.34 g/mol) = 533.36 g AlCl₃
