Answer:

Autotrophs are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw materials and energy. Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. Heterotrophs are known as consumers because they consume producers or other consumers. Dogs, birds, fish, and humans are all examples of heterotrophs

Explanation:

So they are heterotrophs

Ticks are tiny parasites that feed on the blood of their hosts (humans and animals) in order to survive and advance to the next life cycle stage.

A standard backpack is approximately 30cm x 30cm x 40cm. Suppose you find a hoard of pure gold while treasure hunting in the wil

Blizzard [7]

Explanation:

The dimensions of a standard backpack is 30cm x 30cm x 40cm

The mass of an average student is 70 kg

We know that, the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³.

Let m be the mass of the backpack. So,

$\text{density}=\dfrac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=19.3\ g/cm^3\times (30\times 30\times 40)\ cm^3\\\\m=694800\ g\\\\\text{or}\\\\m=694.8\ kg\approx 700\ kg$

An average student has a mass of 70 kg. If we compare the mass of student and mass of backpack, we find that the backpack is 10 times of the mass of the student.

Pure platinum is too soft to be used in jewelry because it scratches easily. To increase the hardness so that it can be used in

Zina [86]

Answer:

percentage mass of platinum in the alloy ≈ 90.60 %

Explanation:

The alloy is 8.528 g sample of an alloy containing platinum and cobalt . The alloy react with excess nitric acid to form cobalt(ii) nitrate . Platinum is resistant to acid so it will definitely not react with the acid only the cobalt metal in the alloy will react with the acid.

The chemical reaction can be represented as follows:

Co (s) + HNO₃ (aq) → Co(NO₃)₂ (aq) + NO₂ (l) + H₂O (l)

The balanced equation

Co (s) + 4HNO₃ (aq) → Co(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂ (l) + 2H₂O (l)

Cobalt is the limiting reactant

atomic mass of cobalt = 58.933 g/mol

Molar mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 58.933 + 14 × 2 + 16 × 6 = 58.933 + 28 + 96 = 182.933 g

58.933 g of cobalt produce 182.933 g of Co(NO₃)₂

? gram of cobalt will produce 2.49 g of Co(NO₃)₂

cross multiply

grams of cobalt that will react = (58.933 × 2.49)/182.933

grams of cobalt that will react = 146.74317000/182.933

grams of cobalt that will react= 0.8021689362 g

grams of cobalt that will react = 0.802 g

mass of platinum in the alloy = 8.528 g - 0.802 g = 7.726 g

percentage mass of platinum in the alloy = 7.726/8.528 × 100 = 772.600/8.528 = 90 .595 %

percentage mass of platinum in the alloy ≈ 90.60 %

Which response includes all of the following processes that are accompanied by an increase in entropy?

dlinn [17]

Answer:

1 and 3.

Explanation:

The entropy measures the randomness of the system, as higher is it, as higher is the entropy. The randomness is associated with the movement and the arrangement of the molecules. Thus, if the molecules are moving faster and are more disorganized, the randomness is greater.

So, the entropy (S) of the phases increases by:

S solid < S liquid < S gases.

1. The substance is going from solid to gas, thus the entropy is increasing.

2. The substance is going from a disorganized way (the molecules of I are disorganized) to an organized way (the molecules join together to form I2), thus the entropy is decreasing.

3. The molecules go from an organized way (the atom are joined together) to a disorganized way, thus the entropy increases.

4. The ions are disorganized and react to form a more organized molecule, thus the entropy decreases.

Gordon wrote this passage about mechanical waves for his physics class. But he got most of his facts mixed up. Only one sentence

Zinaida [17]

Answer: The correct answer is "Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on objects in their path".

Explanation:

Mechanical wave is wave in which there is an oscillation of the wave. The energy is transferred through a medium. Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on their path. Only the energy is transferred not the matter.

Mechanical waves are of three types: Transverse wave, Longitudinal wave and Surface wave. The examples of the mechanical wave are sound wave and water wave.

Sound is a pressure disturbance which travels through a medium. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

The mechanical waves need a medium for their propagation. They travel faster in denser medium.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

How much silver can be produced from 125g of Ag2S

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

108.9g of Silver can be produced from 125g of Ag2S

Explanation:

The compound Ag2S shows that two atoms of Silver Ag, combined with an atom of Sulphur S to form Ag2S. We can as well say the combination ration of Silver to Sulphur is 2:1

•Now we need to calculate the molecular weight of this compound by summing up the molar masses of each element in the compound.

•Molar mass of Silver Ag= 107.9g/mol

•Molar mass of Sulphur S= 32g/mol

•Molecular weight of Ag2S= (2×107.9g/mol) + 32g/mol

•Molecular weight of Ag2S= 215.8g/mol + 32g/mol= 247.8g/mol

•From our calculations, we know that 215.8g/mol of Ag is present in 247.8g/mol of Ag2S

If 247.8g Ag2S produced 215.8g Ag

125g Ag2S will produce xg Ag

cross multiplying we have

xg= 215.8g × 125g / 247.8g

xg= 26975g/247.8

xg= 108.85g

Therefore, 108.9g of Silver can be produced from 125g of Ag2S
