To answer this problem, we use Hess' Law to calculate the overall enthalpy of the reactions. The goal is to add all the reactions such that the final reaction is C<span>5H12 (g) + 8O2 (g) → 5CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) through cancellation adn multiplication. The first equation is multiplied by 5, the second one is multiplied by 6 and the third one is reversed. The final answer is -3538 J or -3.54 x10^3 kJ.</span>

What changes are observed on heat capacity ratio and output temperatures by increasing the specific heat capacity of both the fl
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

b- The heat capacity ratio increases but output temperature don’t change

Explanation:

The heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a body, by 1 degree. On the other hand, the specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a of unit mass of a material by 1 degree.

Heat capacity is an extensive property meaning its value depends on the amount of material. Specific heat capacity is found by dividing heat capacity by the mass of the sample, thus making it independent of the amount (intensive property). So if the specific heat capacity increases and the mass of the sample remains the same, the heat capacity must increase too. Because of that options c and d that say that heat capacity reamins same are INCORRECT.

On the other hand, in which has to be with options a and b both say that the heat capacity increases which is correct, but about the output temperatures what happens is that if we increase the specific heat capacity of both fluids that are involved in a process of heat exchange in the same value, the value of the output temperatures do not change so only option a is CORRECT.

What happens when an electron absorbs energy
Eduardwww [97]
When an electron absorbs energy, it will move up from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, called the "excited state" of the negatively-charged subatomic particle.<span> However, the absorbed energy is released within a small interval of time and the electron moves down to its "ground state."</span>

Answer:

Decomposers (either Secondary Consumer or Tertiary Consumer)

Explanation:

Decomposers eat dead materials and break them down into chemical parts. ... They keep the ecosystem free of the bodies of dead animals or carrion. They break down the organic material and recycle it into the ecosystem as nutrients. Vultures, Blowflies, hyenas, crabs, lobsters and eels are examples of scavengers.
