Answer:
A mushroom is a heterotroph.
Explanation:
Mushrooms are fungi, which are heterotrophs because they depend on other organisms for their food.
Answer:
Volume is the amount of space that a substance occupies. A graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume. The formula used to calculate the volume of a solid object is = L x W x H
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.
The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.
This can be expressed below:
RAM = Σmₙαₙ
where mₙ is the mass of isotope n
αₙ is the abundance of isotope n
for this problem:
RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇
m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6
α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6
m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7
α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7
Answer:
a) ammonium ion
b) amide ion
Explanation:
The order of decreasing bond angles of the three nitrogen species; ammonium ion, ammonia and amide ion is NH4+ >NH3> NH2-. Next we need to rationalize this order of decreasing bond angles from the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory perspective.
First we must realize that all three nitrogen species contain a central sp3 hybridized carbon atom. This means that a tetrahedral geometry is ideally expected. Recall that the presence of lone pairs distorts molecular structures from the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory.
The amide ion contains two lone pairs of electrons. Remember that the presence of lone pairs causes greater repulsion than bond pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom. Hence, the amide ion has the least H-N-H bond angle of about 105°.
The ammonia molecule contains one lone pair, the repulsion caused by one lone pair is definitely bless than that caused by two lone pairs of electrons hence the bond angle of the H-N-H bond in ammonia is 107°.
The ammonium ion contains four bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons on the outermost nitrogen atom. Hence we expect a perfect tetrahedron with bond angle of 109°.
Answer:
Burning of paper is not a physical change.It is chemical change as ash is formed in the process which is new compound and oxides of carbon are also released during the process!
