Explanation:

The rest of the energy is passed on as food to the next level of the food chain. The figure at the left shows energy flow in a simple food chain. Notice that at each level of the food chain, about 90% of the energy is lost in the form of heat.

Answer:

While the total energy of a system is always conserved, the kinetic energy carried by the moving objects is not always conserved. In an inelastic collision, energy is lost to the environment, transferred into other forms such as heat.

The temperature of a 95.4 g piece of Cu increases from 25.0 °C to 48.0 °C when the Cu absorbs 849 J of heat. What is the specifc

melisa1 [442]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.387 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
That is, Q = mcΔT

in our question we are given;

Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 48 °C

Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C

Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper

Rearranging the formula we get

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore,

Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)

= 0.3869 J/g°C

= 0.387 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C

Select the correct scientist for each of the following advances in creating the modern periodic table.

sergey [27]

Answer:

Lavoisier; Newlands; Moseley

Explanation:

In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier grouped the elements into gases, nonmetals, metals, and earths.

In 1865, John Newlands developed the Law of Octaves. He stated that "any given element will exhibit analogous behaviour to the eighth element following it in the table."

In 1914, Henry Moseley found a correlation between the X-ray wavelength of an element and its atomic number. He was then able to restructure the periodic table according to atomic numbers.

A solution with [ OH] of 5 x 10-3 has a pH of

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

11·699

Explanation:

Given the concentration of hydroxide ion in the solution is 5 × $10^{-3}$ M

Assuming the temperature at which it is asked to find the pH of the solution be 298 K

<h3>At 298 K the dissociation constant of water is $10^{-14}$ </h3><h3>∴ pH + pOH = 14 at 298 K</h3><h3>pOH of the solution = -log( concentration of hydroxide ion )</h3>

∴ pOH of the given solution = - log(5 × $10^{-3}$ = -0·699 + 3 = 2·301

pH of the given solution = 14 - 2·301 = 11·699

∴ pH of the solution = 11·699
