If an insect population increases and then decreases as the available supply of food changes, what does this demonstrate

1 answer:

7 0

D.

This is self-regulation because when the population of the insects becomes too large, it regulates itself and starts to decrease due to a shortage of resources.

Hydrogen sulfide decomposes according to the following reaction, for which Kc = 9.30 10-8 at 700°C. 2 H2S(g) 2 H2(g) + S2(g) If

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas is 0.0010 M.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of the reaction = $K_c=9.30\times 10^{-8$ }

Moles of hydrogen sulfide = 0.31 mol

Volume of the container = 4.1 L

$[concentration]=\frac{moles}{volume (L)}$

$[H_2S]=\frac{0.31 mol}{4.1 L}=0.076 M$

$2H_2S(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g)+S_2(g)$

Initially

0.076 M

At equilibrium

(0.076-2x) 2x x

The expression of an equilibrium constant :

$K_c=\frac{[H_2]^2[S_2]}{[H_2S]^2}$

$9.30\times 10^{-8}=\frac{(2x)^2\times x}{(0.076-x)^2}$

Solving for x:

x = 0.00051

The equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas:

$[H_2]=2x=2\times 0.00051 M=0.0010 M$

You want to minimize an objects thermal energy loss on a cold day. How does heat energy transfer affect thermal energy loss?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

4- A material that transfers heat energy more easily than another material will experience a greater rate of thermal energy loss than an object that does not transfer heat energy easily.

Explanation:

Thermal energy loss has to do with loss of heat energy by a body to another body or its environment. The aim of the process is usually the attainment of thermal equilibrium between the body and its environment.

On a cold day, a material that transfers thermal energy more easily will loose thermal energy faster than an object that does not transfer thermal energy. The rate of heat transfer of a body determines its rate of loss of thermal energy.

Where are the electrons inside an atom?

Nataly [62]

Answer: B.They are arranged in energy levels

Explanation: Electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom, and are not spread around equally throughout an atom because there are a different amount of electrons that can fit in each energy level or electron shell (both are the same thing). For example the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, the third can hold up to 18, and so on represented by the equation 2(n^2)

An eccentric chemistry professor (not mentioning any names) stops in every day and orders 200ml of Sumatran coffee at precisely

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

68.97g of milk must be added

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the equation:

Q = C*m*ΔT -Coffee cup calorimeter equation-

This equation relates mass and change in temperature with heat of solution, Q.

The energy that decreases in the milk is the same that increases in the milk. That is:

Q(milk) = Q(tea)

Using the equation:

4.184J/molK* Mass milk * (65.0°C - 7.00°C) = 4.184J /molK * 200g (Tea) * (85.0°C - 65.0°C)

Mass milk * 58.0°C = 200g * 20.0°C

Mass milk = 4000g°C / 58.0°C

Mass milk =

68.97g of milk must be added
