Define disphotic zone?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Llana [10]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The photic zone, euphotic zone, epipelagic zone, or sunlit zone is the uppermost layer of a body of water that receives sunlight, allowing phytoplankton to perform photosynthesis. It undergoes a series of physical, chemical, and biological processes that supply nutrients into the upper water column. The photic zone is home to the majority of aquatic life due to its location.

Photosynthesis in photic zone Edit

In the photic zone, the photosynthesis rate exceeds the respiration rate. This is due to the abundant solar energy which is used as an energy source for photosynthesis by primary producers such as phytoplankton. These phytoplankton grow extremely quickly because of sunlight's heavy influence, enabling it to be produced at a fast rate. In fact, ninety five percent of photosynthesis in the ocean occurs in the photic zone. Therefore, if we go deeper, beyond the photic zone, such as into the compensation point, there is little to no phytoplankton, because of insufficient sunlight.[1] The zone which extends from the base of the euphotic zone to about 200 meters is sometimes called the dysphotic zone.[2]

follow me ok nice study ☺️☺️☺️

Answer:

The disphotic zone also known as the twilight zone :- is the layer of water with enough for the rate of photosynthesis to be greater than the rate of respiration.

-The depth at which less than one percent of sunlight reaches begins the aphotic zone

Which type of reactions form salts?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Neutralization reactions

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base. Products of this type of reaction is water and a salt. The pH of the salt product would depend on how strong or weak the base and acid would be when they react with each other. Although the characteristics of bases and acids are practically polar opposites, when combined, they cancel each other our producing a neutralized product.

Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system,
givi [52]

Answer: The order from the Most energy released to most Energy   Absorbed Is given as  2---> 4--->,3-->---> 1 

B)-61.9 kJ

Explanation:

The change in the internal energy of a system  is positive if the reaction absorbs energy and  negative if the reaction releases energy. For a system to cause an increase in volume, it must have very high energy built up to be released.

1. Surroundings get colder and the system decreases in volume. Here, the surrounding absorbs energy  resulting in positive  ΔE

2. Surroundings get hotter and the system expands in volume.  Here energy is released causing the system to be negative

3. Surroundings get hotter and the system decreases in volume. Although there is a decreased volume, the system is negative because it releases energy

4. Surroundings get hotter and the system does not change in volume.  System is negative because it releases energy even thgoygh there is no change in volume

Therefore the order from the Most energy released to most Energy   Absorbed Is given as  2---> 4--->,3-->---> 1

b) Using  

 ΔE = q+ w     from 1st law of thermodynamics

 ΔE=  ΔH - P  ΔV

gIven  

 ΔH = -75.0KJ

volume=  A change  from 5.0L TO 2.0L = Final volume - initial volume = 2-5= -3.00L

P= 43.0atm

ΔE=  ΔH - P  ΔV

P  ΔV  = 43 atm x -3 = -129L.atm

We first convert  L-atm to Joules.

1 L-atm = 101.325 Joules.  

129L.atm = 129 x 101.325 = - 13071 J

to KJ becomes

13071/1000 = - 13.071KJ

Recall ΔE=  ΔH - P  ΔV and putting values

ΔE  = -75.0 - (-13.071 KJ)= -75.0 kJ + 13.071 kJ = -61.9 kJ

Boyle's law only works when a gas is kept at a constant temperature. Experimentally this is very tricky as changes in pressure o
Lady bird [3.3K]

The heat that creates this temperature change coming from change in the internal energy of the system as per as first law of thermodynamics.

<h3>What is Boyle's law ?</h3>

A law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.

As we know, Boyle's law only works when the gas is kept at a constant temperature

Here,

When volume of gases decreased, it means work done has occurred on the system, so the work done is used for raising internal energy of the gas and the other is released as the thermal energy.

So,

According to 1st law of thermodynamics,

we know  Q =  ΔU + W  i.e, change in internal energy and work done. So this is a reason. Changing temperature occurs.
