Answer:

Explanation:

The mountain ecosystems are characterized by coniferous tree species such as pinus, firs, and spruces and species such as deers, bears, and wolves.

A beetle that kills coniferous trees would be a greater threat to the ecosystem than a wolf that hunts and eat deer because the dominant trees in the ecosystem are conifers. Hence, <u>a beetle that kills coniferous trees might end up killing the dominant tree species in the ecosystem and this will gravely affect other plant and animal species within the ecosystem. </u>

<em>Wolves and deers have their niche in the mountain ecosystem already and hence, their populations are naturally limited by limiting factors of the environment. Hence, a wolf that hunts and eats deers would be of a lesser threat to the mountain ecosystem.</em>

Propane is often used to heat homes. The combustion of propane follows the following reaction: C3H8(g) + 5O2(g)  3CO2 (g) + 4H

Answer:

To release 7563 kJ of heat, we need to burn 163.17 grams of propane

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Data given

C3H8 + 5O2 -----------> 3CO2 + 4H2O      ΔH° = –2044 kJ

This means every mole C3H8

Every mole of C3H8 produces 2044 kJ of heat when it burns (ΔH° is negative because it's an exothermic reaction)

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate the number of moles to produce 7563 kJ of heat

1 mol = 2044 kJ

x mol = 7563 kJ

x = 7563/2044 =  3.70 moles

To produce 7563 kJ of heat we have to burn 3.70 moles of C3H8

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate mass of propane

Mass propane = moles * Molar mass

Mass propane = 3.70 moles * 44.1 g/mol

Mass propane = 163.17 grams

To release 7563 kJ of heat, we need to burn 163.17 grams of propane
