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.


Hope this helped!

For the process 2SO2(g) + O2(g) --> 2SO3(g),
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

–187.9 J/K

Explanation:

The equation that relates the three quantities is:

\Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S

where

\Delta G is the Gibbs free energy

\Delta H is the change in enthalpy of the reaction

T is the absolute temperature

\Delta S is the change in entropy

In this reaction we have:

ΔS = –187.9 J/K

ΔH = –198.4 kJ = -198,400 J

T = 297.0 K

So the Gibbs free energy is

\Delta G=-198,400-(297.0)(-187.9)=254.2 kJ

However, here we are asked to say what is the entropy of the reaction, which is therefore

ΔS = –187.9 J/K

How much heat energy is required to convert 48.3 g of solid ethanol at -114.5 degree C to gasesous ethanol at 135.3 degree C? Th
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

7.21 × 10⁴ J

Explanation:

Ethanol is solid below -114.5°c, liquid between -114.5°C and 78.4°C, and gaseous above 78.4°C.

<em>How much heat energy is required to convert 48.3 g of solid ethanol at -114.5°C to gaseous ethanol at 135.3 °C?</em>

<em />

We need to calculate the heat required in different stages and then add them.

The moles of ethanol are:

48.3g.\frac{1mol}{46.07g} =1.05mol

Solid-liquid transition

Q₁ = ΔHfus . n = (4.60 kJ/mol) . 1.05 mol = 4.83 kJ = 4.83 × 10³ J

where,

ΔHfus: molar heat of fusion

n: moles

Liquid: from -114.5°C to 78.4°C

Q₂ = c(l) . m . ΔT = (2.45 J/g.°C) . 48.3g . [78.4°C-(-114.5°C)] = 2.28 × 10⁴ J

where,

c(l): specific heat capacity of the liquid

ΔT: change in the temperature

Liquid-gas transition

Q₃ = ΔHvap . n = (38.56 kJ/mol) . 1.05 mol = 40.5 kJ = 40.5 × 10³ J

where,

ΔHvap: molar heat of vaporization

Gas: from 78.4°C to 135.3°C

Q₄ = c(g) . m . ΔT = (1.43 J/g.°C) . 48.3g . (135.3°C-78.4°C) = 3.93 × 10³ J

where

c(g): specific heat capacity of the gas

Total heat required

Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃ + Q₄ = 4.83 × 10³ J + 2.28 × 10⁴ J + 40.5 × 10³ J + 3.93 × 10³ J = 7.21 × 10⁴ J
