Energy transfer is not an efficient process.

Explanation:

There is less amount of energy in the top of the energy pyramid than at the bottom because energy transfer is not an efficient process. During the process of energy transferring, some amount is lost and some are converted to other forms of energy.

  • The sun is the ultimate source of energy for all life in the solar system.
  • When autotrophs takes this energy, they produce food from it.
  • They use light energy from the sun to produce chemical energy in food.
  • Even this conversion process waste precious amount of energy.
  • As one goes up the pyramid, more energy is lost during the process of converting from one form to another.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A: "Energy is lost between each trophic level as heat".

Explanation:

The energy pyramid describes the amount of energy available at different trophic levels, where the producers have 1000 kilocalories of energy and the tertiary consumers have only 0.7 kilocalories. The energy lost between each trophic level is explained by the lost of energy as heat. When the organisms at a trophic level are consumed by the next trophic level, energy is lost in the form of metabolic heat. I attached the missing image.

What is formed when water chemically combines with carbon dioxide
solong [7]

When water chemically combines with carbon dioxide, a Carbonic acid is formed.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Carbon dioxide responds with water in a solution to form a weak acid, carbonic acid. Carbonic acid disassociates into hydrogen particles and bicarbonate particles. The hydrogen particles and water respond with the most basic minerals modifying the minerals.  
  • Carbon dioxide and the other atmospheric gases disintegrate in surface waters. Dissolved gases are in equilibrium with the gas in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide responds with water in a solution to form the weak acid, carbonic acid. Carbonic acid disassociates into hydrogen particles and bicarbonate particles.  
  • The hydrogen particles and water respond with the most basic minerals altering the minerals. The results of enduring are prevalently clays and soluble particles, for example, calcium, iron, sodium, and potassium. Bicarbonate particles additionally remain in solution; a remnant of the carbonic acid that was utilized to weather the rocks.

Paul [167]

Answer : The volume of O_2(g) produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of O_2 gas = (740-22.4) torr = 717.6 torr

P_2 = final pressure of O_2 gas at STP= 760 torr

V_1 = initial volume of O_2 gas = 280 mL

V_2 = final volume of O_2 gas at STP = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of O_2 gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

T_2 = final temperature of O_2 gas = 0^oC=273+0=273K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{717.6torr\times 280mL}{298K}=\frac{760torr\times V_2}{273K}

V_2=242.2mL=0.2422L

Therefore, the volume of O_2(g) produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L

A sample of nitrogen gas is at a temperature of 50 c and a pressure of 2 atm. If the volume of the sample remains constant and t
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that, as long as the volume of the container containing the gas is constant, as the temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster. Then the number of collisions with the walls increases, that is, the pressure increases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

\frac{P}{T} =k

Where P = pressure, T = temperature, K = Constant

You want to study two different states, an initial state and a final state. You have a gas that is at a pressure P1 and at a temperature T1 at the beginning of the experiment. By varying the temperature to a new value T2, then the pressure will change to P2, and the following will be fulfilled:

\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}

In this case:

  • P1= 2 atm
  • T1= 50 C= 323 K (being 0 C= 273 K)
  • P2= 3.2 atm
  • T2= ?

Replacing:

\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =\frac{3.2 atm}{T2}

Solving:

T2*\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =3.2 atm

T2=3.2 atm*\frac{323 K}{2 atm}

T2= 516.8 K= 243.8 C

<u><em>The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.</em></u>
