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

1 answer:

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.

mezya [45]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A chemist prepares a solution of barium chloride by measuring out 110 g of barium chloride into a 440 ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mole per liter of the chemist's barium chloride solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer: Concentration of the chemist's barium chloride solution is 1.20 mol/L

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times }{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in L

moles of $BaCl_2$ (solute) = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar Mass}}=\frac{110g}{208g/mol}=0.529mol$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

$Molality=\frac{0.529\times 1000}{440ml}=1.20mole/L$

Therefore, the molarity of solution is 1.20 mol/L

Sodium hydrogen carbonate NaHCO3, also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Ac

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

1.4952 grams of sodium bicarbonate she would need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl.

Explanation:

$Moles (n)=Molarity(M)\times Volume (L)$

Moles of hydrochloric acid = n

Volume of hydrochloric acid solution = 200.0 mL = 0.200 L

Molarity of the hydrochloric acid = 0.089 M

$n=0.089 M\times 0.200 L=0.0178 mol$ of HCL

$HCl(aq)+NaHCO_3(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

According to reaction, 1 mole of HCl is neutralized by 1 mole of sodium bicarbonate.

Then 0.0178 moles of HCl wil be neutralized by :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0178 mol=0.0178 mol$ of sodium bicarbonate

Mass of 0.0178 moles of sodium bicarbonate:

0.0178 mol × 72 g/mol = 1.4952 g

1.4952 grams of sodium bicarbonate she would need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl.

Onsider the following reaction at equilibrium:

11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

$C(s)+H_2O(l)\leftrightharpoons CO(g)+H_2(g)$

A. C is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on increasing C ,equilibrium will shift in right direction.

B. $H_2O$ is condensed and removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on removing water vapor ,the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

C. CO is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on increasing CO, the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

D. $H_2$ is removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on removing hydrogen , the equilibrium will shift in right direction.
