Answer:

»Climatic change leads to malnutrition.

e.g when its cold season, osmoregulation decreases and rate of metabolism declines.

This is because the enzymes lack that optimum temperature for their catalytic activity to take place hence improper digestion.

»Leads to promotion of predation in ecosystem.

such as reptiles e.g snakes, lizards get away from shelters on cold days since they are cold blooded, hence their predators such as animals, birds increase.

What mass of aluminum chloride could be made from 8.1 g of aluminum and 4.2 L of chlorine at STP?

posledela

In this problem Al metal is a limiting reactant as it is present in less amount as compared to chlorine gas, Hence, controls the formation of ALCl3. So, the amount of AlCl3 produced is 40.05 grams. Solution is as follow,

An iron block of mass 18 kg is heated from 285 K to 318 K. If 267.3 kJ is required, what is the specific heat of iron? A. 450.00

valkas [14]

Answer:

Option A. 450.00

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) m = 18 kg

b) T₁ = 285 K

c) T₂ = 318 K

d) Q = 267.3 kJ

e) S = ?

2) Principles and equations

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed to increase the temperature of certain amount (gram, kg, or moles, depending on the definition or units) of the substance in 1 ° C or 1 K.

The mathematical relation between the specific heat and the heat energy absorbed is:

Q = m × S × ΔT

Where,

Q is the heat absorbed,
S is the specific heat, and
ΔT is the temperature increase (T₂ - T₁)

3) Solution:

a) Substitute the data into the equation:

267.3 kJ = 18 kg × S × (318 K - 285 K)

b) Solve for S and compute:

S = 267.3 kJ / (18 kg × 33 K) = 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K)

The options have not units, but I notice that the first answer is 1,000 times the answer I obtained, so I will make a conversion of units.

c) Convert to J /( kg . k):

0.45 kJ / (Kg . K) × 1,000 J / kJ = 450 J / (kg . K)

Now we can see that the option A is is the answer, assuming the units.

Silver (Ag) has two stable isotopes: 107Ag, 106.90 amu, and 109Ag, 108.90 amu. If the average atomic mass of silver is 107.87 am

inysia [295]

Answer:

The abundance of 107Ag is 51.5%.

The abundance of 109Ag is 48.5%.

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of silver can be expressed as:

107.87 = 106.90 * A1 + 108.90 * A2

Where A1 is the abundance of 107Ag and A2 of 109Ag.

Assuming those two isotopes are the only one stables, we can use the equation:

A1 + A2 = 1.0

So now we have a system of two equations with two unknowns, and what's left is algebra.

First we use the second equation to express A1 in terms of A2:

A1 = 1.0 - A2

We replace A1 in the first equation:

107.87 = 106.90 * A1 + 108.90 * A2

107.87 = 106.90 * (1.0-A2) + 108.90 * A2

107.87 = 106.90 - 106.90*A2 + 108.90*A2

107.87 = 106.90 + 2*A2

2*A2 = 0.97

A2 = 0.485

So the abundance of 109Ag is (0.485*100%) 48.5%.

We use the value of A2 to calculate A1 in the second equation:

A1 + A2 = 1.0

A1 + 0.485 = 1.0

A1 = 0.515

So the abundance of 107Ag is 51.5%.
