What is the main reason that cause the subduction process?

Chemistry
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
3 0

Subduction occurs when two plates collide at a convergent boundary, and one plate is driven beneath the other, back into the Earth’s interior. Not all convergence leads to subduction. Continental rocks are too buoyant to be forced downward, so when continents collide, they crumple but stay at the surface. Only oceanic plates, which are topped with basalt, are dense enough to sink into the mantle. As a result, only oceanic plates are subducted.

Explain how energy is transferred in a food web.
andrezito [222]


<span>Energy is transferred through the separate trophic levels of a food chain or web by feeding.The first trophic level (producers) is that of plants which are examples of autotrophs – they make their own food. Photosynthesis occurs when the plants use solar energy and convert it into chemical energy so it can be stored in a carbon compound. Once this has happened the energy can be taken up by the primary consumers – these are in the second trophic level (herbivores and omnivores). Secondary consumers also need to gain energy in some way, and this is by eating the primary consumers that have gained energy from the producers, this means that the second trophic level has successfully transferred energy into the third level containing omnivores and carnivores. A succession in energy transferral means that a food web or food chain has a tertiary and/or quaternary trophic level which can contain carnivores and omnivores which are plant and animal eaters (this includes humans).This transfer in energy is fairly efficient for the organisms involved as around 10% of light energy that is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis is transferred through the trophic levels, the rest is lost in respiration, as heat, faeces and urine. Not all of the energy can be passed along a food web or chain as it must be used in other things too, so it cannot be 100% efficient.</span>

When performing dimensional analysis, we usually use conversion factors. What is a conversion factor?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

A conversion factor is a variable that transforms the dimension of one variable into the terms of another variable.

Explanation:

Let be x and y two variables with diferent dimensions (units), r is a conversion if transforms the dimension of one variable into the terms of the other variable. That is:

y = r\cdot x (1)

Where:

x - Input, [input unit]

y - Output, [output unit]

r - Conversion factor, [output unit] per [input unit]

If 2.00g of p-aminophenol ( 109.1 g/mol) reacts with 5.00 ml of acetic anhydride (102.1 g/mol and density = 1.08 g/ml), what mas
inna [77]
The complete reaction is as,

      4-Aminophenol + Acetic Anhydride → <span>Acetaminophen + Acetic Acid

First of all convert the ml of Acetic anhydrite to grams,
As,
                                Density  =  mass / volume
Solving for mass,
                                mass  =  Density </span>× Volume
<span>Putting values,
                                mass  =  1.08 g/ml </span>× 5ml
<span>
                                mass =  5.4 g of acetic anhydride

First Find amount of  acetic anhydride required to react completely with 2 g of p-Aminophenol,
As,
       109.1 g of p-aminophenol required  =  102.1 g of acetic anhydride
so,     2 g of p-aminophenol will require  =  X g of Acetic Anhydride

Solving for X,
                                X  =  (2 g </span>× 102.1 g) ÷ 109.1 g
 
                                X  =  1.87 g of acetic anhydride is required to be reacted.

But, we are provided with 5.4 g of Acetic Anhydride, means p-aminophenol is the limiting reactant and it controls the formation of product. Now Let's calculate for product,
As,
       109.1 g of p-aminophenol produced  =  180.2 g of <span>Acetaminophen
So    2.00 g of p-aminophenol will produce  =  X g of Acetaminophen

Solving for X,
                               X  =  (2.00 g </span>× 180.2 g) ÷ 109.1 g
 
                               X  =  3.30 g of Acetaminophen

Result:
          <span>If 2.00g of p-aminophenol reacts with 5.00 ml of acetic anhydride 3.30 g of acetaminophen is made.</span>
