explain why decomposition uses solar energy

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Without the sun's energy, biological life would not be able to exist to decompose. Many microbes and fungi do their best work out of direct sunlight.

Answer 2

In an ecosystem, microbes make use of solar energy to decompose dead plant and animals.

What is an ecosystem?

Ecosystem is defined as a system which consists of all living organisms and the physical components with which the living beings interact. The abiotic and biotic components are linked to each other through nutrient cycles and flow of energy.

Energy enters the system through the process of photosynthesis .Animals play an important role in transfer of energy as they feed on each other.As a result of this transfer of matter and energy takes place through the system .Living organisms also influence the quantity of biomass present.By decomposition of dead plants and animals by microbes nutrients are released back in to the soil.There are different types of ecosystems present.

Respiration is the process of exchange of gases between the cell and atmosphere. The path of respiration involves Outside Air⇒  Nose⇒ Lungs⇒ Bloodstream⇒ Cell.

What is respiration?

Respiration is the movement of oxygen from the outside environment to the cells and the removal of carbon dioxide from the cells into the outside environment.

Respiration is of two types depending upon the presence of oxygen:

1. Aerobic Respiration: This takes place in the presence of oxygen

2. Anaerobic Respiration: This takes place in the absence of oxygen.

The path of respiration includes inspiration of outside air into the nose, through the nostrils this air is passed on to the lungs. The alveoli is the site of gaseous exchange in the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is inspired and carbon dioxide is expired.

The oxygen gas which is inspired by the lungs is dissolved in the blood. Oxygen forms a complex with the hemoglobin protein present in the blood. This blood is then circulated to all the cells and tissues of body. Thus, the oxygen is supplied to all the cells and tissues. The path includes Outside Air⇒  Nose⇒ Lungs⇒ Bloodstream⇒ Cell.

PLSS HELPP Giving brainliest!! Suppose you place the coefficient 4 before H2O. How many atoms of hydrogen and how many atoms of oxygen will the formula have?

Answers

Answer: 8 oxygen atoms and 4 hydrogen atoms. Explanation down below.

Explanation: One molecule of oxygen gas is composed of two oxygen atoms (O2). Here there is four atoms of oxygen gas which in total gives eight oxygen atoms. Same ways One molecule of hydrogen gas is composed of two hydrogen atoms (H2), so 2 atoms of hydrogen gas in total gives four hydrogen atoms. As per the formula of water, 2 (H2) and 1(O) to form a water molecule (H2O). Here there are 4 H2, so divide the number of hydrogen atoms by the number needed per water molecule i.e. 4 / 2 = 2. This means 2 water molecules will be produced.

Write your question here (Keep it simple and clear to get the best answer) Explain why ammonia gas is not collected over water

Answers

Answer:

Because of the solubility of ammonia gas in water, it is not collected over water.

Explanation:

Gases prepared in the laboratory are often collected by a technique called water displacement. A bottle is filled with water and placed upside-down in a trough or container of water. The reaction flask is connected to the bottle of water by means of a rubber or glass tubing which is fed under the water bottle . As the gas is produced in the reaction flask, it enters the bottle and displaces the water in it. When the bottle is full of the gas, it is then sealed. The volume of gas in the bottle can be used to determine the amount of gas produced in the reaction. Usually, the gas collected is present in addition to water vapor in the bottle.

Gases that are collected over water must not react with or dissolve in water.

Ammonia gas is very soluble in water. The solubility is due to the readiness with which it forms hydrogen bonds with water to produce aqueous ammonia, NH₃.H₂O.

Aqueous ammonia ionizes partially to produce ammonium ions, NH₄+ and hydroxide ions, OH-. Because of the solubility of ammonia gas in water, it is not collected over water.

10. A solution contains 130 grams of KNO3 dissolved in 100 grams of water When 3 more grams of KNO3 is added, none of it dissolves, nor do any additional crystals appear. The temperature of the solution is closest to

A.65 Celsius

B. 68 Celsius

C. 70 Celsius

D. 72 Celsius

Answers

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

We will check the solubility graph for potassium nitrate,  KNO 3. Based on the graph it can be said that the temperature of solution when 130 grams of KNO3 dissolves in 100 grams of water is near to 65 degree Celsius. Now if three grams of solute is increased then the temperature of the solution will increase by a degree or so and hence the most probable temperature would be 68 degree Celsius.

Hence, option B is correct

58. What is the temperature if 30.1 g of N, in a 1.00-L container is at a pressure of 25.2 atm?

DUE TONIGHT. LINKS DONT WORK SO PLS SHOW WORK. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Answers

Answer:

14°C

Explanation:

In order to use the ideal gas law, you need the number of moles of N2 present.

30.1 g x (mol / 28.02 g) = 1.07 mol N2

Use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT

Now isolate for T(temperature) and plug in your other values:

T = PV / nR

T = (25.2 atm)(1.00 L) / (1.07 mol)(0.08206)

T = 287 K

T(°C) = 287 K - 273 K = 14°C

Therefore, the temperature is 14°C

A sample of gas occupies 806 ml at 26.0ºC and 998 mmHg. Find the volume of the gas at STP.

Answers

Answer:

966.4mL

Explanation:

Using the combined gas equation as follows:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure

P2 = final pressure

V1 = initial volume

V2 = final volume

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question, the following information were provided:

P1 = 998mmHg

P2 (STP) = 760mmHg

V1 = 806mL

V2 = ?

T1 = 26°C = 26 + 273 = 299K

T2 (STP) = 273K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

998 × 806/299 = 760 × V2/273

804388/299 = 760V2/273

2690.26 = 760V2/273

760V2 = 2690.26 × 273

760V2 = 734440.98

V2 = 734440.98 ÷ 760

V2 = 966.4mL
