Two students were discussing the Mono Lake ecosystem. The first student said, "For a 20-kilogram (kg) coyote to survive, it take

s around 200 kg of Wilson's phalaropes, 400 kg of brine shrimp, and 800 kg of algae!" The second student said, "No, I think it takes even more than that." 1. Which student is correct? What is your reasoning?​

Answer:

The second student is right.

Explanation:

The coyote feed on not only phalaropes but many other organisms present in the environment for its survival. There are many other organisms present in the ecosystem such as mice, squirrel, cactus fruit etc. The coyote feeds on phalaropes, the phalaropes feeds on brine shrimp and the brine shrimp feeds on algae for its survival so in this way the ecosystem moves in the forward direction. The coyote feeds on phalaropes so the energy that is present in phalaropes transferred into coyote which only 10 % while the remaining is released in the atmosphere in the form of heat energy.

How can Newton's Third Law of Motion be used to explain why it is difficult to walk on a slippery surface, such as ice?
Olenka [21]
E ground pushes you forward. But that interaction is friction. Reduce friction and it doesn't matter how strong your legs are, the surface is incapable of pushing you accordingly. The coefficient of static friction is very low so it is easy to slide your foot rather than push.

Can a combination reaction be a redox reaction ?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Yes A redox reaction can be a combination reaction.

Two elements are mixed in a combination reaction to produce a single product.

Explanation:

Example: water formula

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Oxygen is reduced in this reaction when electrons are transferred from hydrogen to oxygen and hydrogen is also oxidized since oxygen from hydrogen accepts electrons. Oxygen is the oxidizing agent and hydrogen is the reducing agent.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

gogolik [260]

I'd say it is an element. It is not a compound, it doesn't do things on its own like us. It's an element like fire and water.

Identify the type of reaction depicted below:<br> 2SO2(g)<br> +<br> O2(g) --&gt; 2SO3(g)
ioda

Answer:

Combination reaction

Explanation:

In Chemistry, elements and compounds are involved in a process called chemical reactions, which are of different types namely: combination, decomposition, double replacement, combustion etc. A combination reaction is that reaction in which two or more substances called the REACTANTS combine together to form a single new substance called the PRODUCT.

In this case, a reaction is depicted as follows:

2SO2(g) + O2(g) --> 2SO3(g)

In this reaction, compound SO2 combines chemically with element O2 to form a single new compound SO3. Hence, this is a type of COMBINATION REACTION.
