Answer:

Ecosystem Energy Flow Nearly all of the energy that drives ecosystems ultimately comes from the sun. Solar energy, which is an abiotic factor, by the way, enters the ecosystem through the process of photosynthesis. You can learn more than you want to know about this process in the unit on photosynthesis.

Study this chemical reaction: (aq)(s)(s)(aq) Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that hap

disa [49]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction ;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

What are the limitations of using chemical indicators in determining the pH of a given solution?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

1) chemical indicators won't work above it's pH range so therefore it probably won't change colour.

2) the solution should be clear and colourless to see colour change.

3) indicators tend to be of low accuracy so it's not 100% reliable.

For lunch, a patient consumed 3 oz of skinless chicken, 3 oz of broccoli, 1 medium apple, and 1 cup of nonfat milk (see Table 3.

Volgvan

Lunch of a patient has 3 oz skinless chicken, 3 oz of broccoli, 1 medium apple, and 1 cup of nonfat milk

Energy content of 3 oz skinless chicken is = 110 kcal

Energy content of 3 oz broccoli = 30 kcal

Energy content of 1 medium apple = 60 kcal

Energy content of 1 cup non-fat milk = 90 kcal

So the kilocalories of energy patient obtained from lunch

= 110 kcal+ 30 kcal + 60 kcal + 90 kcal = 290 kcal
