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.

Find the ph of a 0.250 m solution of nac2h3o2. (the ka value of hc2h3o2 is 1.80×10−5). express your answer numerically to four s
Slav-nsk [51]
Answer is: pH value of solution of NaC₂H₃O₂ is 9.07.
Chemical reaction: C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻.
Ka(HC₂H₃O₂) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.<span>
Ka · Kb = Kw.
</span>1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ · Kb = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶; the ionic product of water at 25°C.<span>
Kb(</span>C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ ÷ 1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³.<span>
Kb(</span>C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 5,56·10⁻¹⁰ mol/dm³.
c(C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 0,25 M.
[OH⁻] = [HC₂H₃O₂] = x.
[C₂H₃O₂⁻] = 0,25 M - x.
Kb = [OH⁻] · [HC₂H₃O₂] / [C₂H₃O₂⁻].
5,56·10⁻¹⁰ = x² / (0,25 M -x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0,0000118 M.
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0,0000118M) = 4,93.
pH + pOH = 14.
pH = 14 - 4,93 = 9,07.

Please help with this
dlinn [17]

Answer:

A sample of a gas (5.0 mol) at 1.0 atm is expanded at constant temperature from 10 L to 15 L. The final pressure is 0.67 atm.

Step by Step Explanation?

Boyle's law states that in constant temperature the variation volume of gas is inversely proportional to the applied pressure.

The formula is,

P₁ x V₁ = P₂ × V₂

Where,

P₁ is initial pressure = 1 atm

P2 is final pressure = ? (Not Known)

V₁ is initial volume = 10 L

V₂ is final volume = 15 L

Now put the values in the formula,

\begin{gathered}\rm 1\times 10 = P_2\times 15\\\\\rm P_2 = \frac{10}{15\\} \\\\\rm P_2 = 0.67\end{gathered]

Therefore, the answer is 0.67 atm.

Which process is endothermic?a)b)c)d)The evaporation of water from the skin.The burning of candle wax.The oxidation of iron in a
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The answer is option a. The evaporation of water from the skin

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is any synthetic reaction that retains heat from its environment. The ingested energy gives the enactment energy to the reaction to happen.

No new bonds formed, no bonds broken in this example. water molecules go from liquid to vapour (gas ), intermolecular bond exist between polar (-OH) molecules and energy is required to break these bonds during the change from liquid to gas. So, it is endothermic .

Remaining three above examples are exothermic. combustion of gas releases energy(exothermic). burninig of the candle exothermic because the energy released from the oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.oxidation of iron also exothermic
