Answer A:

The organism which provides energy directly and/or indirectly to all of the other organisms is the garden plants.

Explanation:

Plants are generally found at the lowest part of the pyramid/food chain. They are also called Autorotrophs because they are the primary producers of energy from which the entire pyramid feeds off.

The other animals/organisms on the pyramid are called Heterotrophs because they depend directly or indirectly on the primary energy producers.

Answer B:

The Slug and the Aphid feed are herbivorous. So they are in competition for the garden plants. If one of them, for some reason, decreased in population, the other will have more food to eat.

Cheers

Calculate the ΔH o for the reaction: Fe3+(aq) + 3OH−(aq) → Fe(OH)3(s) ΔH o = kJ/mol Substance ΔH o f (kJ/mol) ΔG o f (kJ/mol) S
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

ΔHr = -86.73 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, you can calculate ΔH of any reaction using ΔH°f of products and reactants involed in the reaction.

<em>Hess law: ∑nΔH°f products - ∑nΔH°f reactants = ΔHr</em>

<em>-Where n are moles of reaction-</em>

For the reaction:

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)

Hess law is:

ΔHr = ΔH°f Fe(OH)₃ - ΔH°f Fe³⁺ - 3×ΔH°f OH⁻

Where:

ΔH°f Fe(OH)₃: −824.25 kJ/mol

ΔH°f Fe³⁺: −47.7 kJ/mol

ΔH°f OH⁻: −229.94 kJ/mol

Replacing:

ΔHr = −824.25 kJ/mol - (−47.7 kJ/mol) - (3×-229.94 kJ/mol)

<em>ΔHr = -86.73 kJ/mol</em>

Suppose that 3.33 g of acetone at 25.0 °C condenses on the surface of a 44.0-g block of aluminum that is initially at 25 °C. If
jeyben [28]

Answer:

68.6 °C

Explanation:

From conservation of energy, the heat lost by acetone, Q = heat gained by aluminum, Q'

Q = Q'

Q = mL where Q = latent heat of vaporization of acetone, m = mass of acetone = 3.33 g and L = specific latent heat of vaporization of acetone = 518 J/g

Q' = m'c(θ₂ - θ₁) where m' = mass of aluminum = 44.0 g, c = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 0.9 J/g°C, θ₁ = initial temperature of aluminum = 25°C and θ₂ = final temperature of aluminum = unknown

So, mL = m'c(θ₂ - θ₁)

θ₂ - θ₁ = mL/m'c

θ₂ = mL/m'c + θ₁

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

θ₂ = 3.33 g × 518 J/g/(44.0 g × 0.9 J/g°C) + 25 °C

θ₂ = 1724.94 J/(39.6 J/°C) + 25 °C

θ₂ = 43.56 °C + 25 °C

θ₂ = 68.56 °C

θ₂ ≅ 68.6 °C

So, the final temperature (in °C) of the metal block is 68.6 °C.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

0.2 moles, assuming weight of dried salt

Explanation:

In order to determine the number of moles, we need to be aware of the mass of the substance in question.

Assuming the mass of the dehydrated KAl(SO_{4} )_{2}.H_{2} O is 50g.

No. of moles = mass of substance/ molar mass of the substance.

= \frac{50g}{39+27+32*2+16*4*2\\)g/mol}

= 0.2 moles moles.
