I say C because why would you want a plant to resist something that helps it grow? A, B, and D make sense because those can improve the quality of the plant, but fertilizer can improve plant quality and help it grow. So there is no reason to resist it.
Answer:
A i. Internal energy ΔU = -4.3 J ii. Internal energy ΔU = -6.0 J B. The second system is lower in energy.
Explanation:
A. We know that the internal energy,ΔU = q + w where q = quantity of heat and w = work done on system.
1. In the above q = -7.9 J (the negative indicating heat loss by the system). w = 3.6 J (It is positive because work is done on the system). So, the internal energy for this system is ΔU₁ = q + w = -7.9J + 3.6J = -4.3 J
ii. From the question q = +1.5 J (the positive indicating heat into the system). w = -7.5 J (It is negative because work is done by the system). So, the internal energy for this system is ΔU₂ = q + w = +1.5J + (-7.5J) = +1.5J - 7.5J = - 6.0J
B. We know that ΔU = U₂ - U₁ where U₁ and U₂ are the initial and final internal energies of the system. Since for the systems above, the initial internal energies U₁ are the same, then we say U₁ = U. Let U₁ and U₂ now represent the final energies of both systems in A i and A ii above. So, we write ΔU₁ = U₁ - U and ΔU₂ = U₂ - U where ΔU₁ and ΔU₂ are the internal energy changes in A i and A ii respectively. Now from ΔU₁ = U₁ - U, U₁ = ΔU₁ + U and U₂ = ΔU₂ + U. Subtracting both equations U₁ - U₂ = ΔU₁ - ΔU₂
= -4.3J -(-6.0 J)= 1.7 J. Since U₁ - U₂ > 0 , U₂ < U₁ , so the second system's internal energy increase less and is lower in energy and is more stable.
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
What volume of 0.160 M solution of KOH must be added to 550.0 mL of the acidic solution to completely neutralize all of the 0.150 M hydrochloric acid?
Answer: Volume in liters to three significant figures is 0.516 L
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is 
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is KOH
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
(1L=1000ml)
Thus volume in liters to three significant figures is 0.516 L
