What is the 10% rule? What is its significance? Why is energy lost?

Chemistry
1 answer:
TEA [102]3 years ago
4 0
The 10% rule means that approximately there will be only 10% energy transferred from a trophic level into another. That was because the consumer on the upper level will use the energy before it was consumed. About 90% of the energy used so only 10% remain will be transferred.
Example: an antler eating grass with a total 100 calories. Then the antler is moving and growing, using 90 calories. Then a lion eats the antler, but the energy remains is only 10 calorie because 90 calories are already used.

How many grams are there in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide
tatuchka [14]

Answer: 159 grams

Explanation:

Copper (ii) oxide has the chemical formula CuO.

Now given that:

Mass of CuO in grams = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Number of moles = 2.00 moles

Molar mass of CuO = ?

For the molar mass of CuO: Atomic mass of Copper = 63.5g ; Oxygen = 16g

= 63.5g + 16g

= 79.5 g/mol

Apply the formula:

Number of molecules = (mass in grams/molar mass)

2.00 moles = (Z / 79.5 g/mol)

Z = 79.5 g/mol x 2.00 moles

Z = 159g

Thus, there are 159 grams in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes. Cu−63 has a mass of 62.939 amu and relative abundance of 69.17%.
fiasKO [112]
The answer is 64.907 amu.

The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2

We know:
atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: 62.939 amu
The abundance of isotope 1 is: 69.17% = 0.6917
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: x
The abundance of isotope 2: 100% - 69.17% = 30.83% = 0.3083

Thus:
63.546 amu = 62.939 amu * 0.6917 + x * 0.3083
63.546 <span>amu = 43.535 amu + 0.3083x
</span>⇒ 63.546 amu - 43.535 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ 20.011 amu = 0.3083x
   ⇒ x = 20.011 amu ÷ 0.3083 = 64.907 amu

What is heat transfer? Select one: O a. Thermal energy in transit due to spatial temperature difference o b. Thermal energy in t
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a. Thermal energy in transit due to spatial temperature difference .

Explanation:

Heat transfer -

Heat transfer is the exchange of the thermal energy or heat in between any physical systems .

It is the flow of energy or any form of energy from one system to another .

Heat transfer is divided into various mechanism , one of which is the thermal .

The thermal energy is the transit due to the spacial temperature difference .
