Birds use their feathers for flight and fluff their feathers to keep warm. Based on Natalia's feather experiment, how do oil spills affect birds’ ability to use their feathers?

Answers

Answer 1
A new study finds that even small smudges of oil can have huge impacts on flight and a bird's energy budget. ... For seabirds, oil can sink their natural buoyancy and literally drag them into a watery grave. And the birds that try to clean themselves ingest a sticky poison that ravages their livers, lungs, and intestines.
Answer 2

Answer:

As shown previously on Natalia's experiment, oil spills will dangerously affect birds' abilities to user their feathers. When oil gets on a feather, the mass of it increases and it becomes soggy and wet. If birds try to go in water like the ocean, it will not get any better because the ocean is cold. Flying won't be easy because they have additional weight stuck to them.

Which of the following is an acid-base neutralization reaction?
A
Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + H2

B
SiCl4 → Si + 2 Cl2

C
AgNO3 + KCl → AgCl + KNO3

D
HCl + KOH → KCl + H2O

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water is called acid base reaction.

here, HCL ( strong acid) reacts with KOH (strong base) and KCL (salt) and H2O (water) is formed.

The reaction between HCl and KOH is an example of acid-base neutralization reaction. Thus, the correct option is D.

An acid-base neutralization reaction refers to the reaction between an acid and a base that react to form a corresponding salt and water.

The anion from the acid and the cation from the base combine to form the salt. In this case, chloride ions (Cl⁻) and potassium ions (K⁺) combine to form the salt potassium chloride (KCl).

Salt formation leads to neutralization of the charge in the molecule, and also, the pH of the solution gets neutralized whose extent depends upon the strength of the acid and base used.

The hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid and hydroxyl ions (OH⁻) from the base combine to form water.

A car engine produces 604 kJ of mechanical energy from fuel capable of producing 2416 kJ of energy. The efficiency of the engine is

Answers

I think it’s 40% but I’m not sure

A car engine produces 604 kJ of mechanical energy from fuel capable of producing 2416 kJ of energy, then efficiency of the engine is 25%.

How do we calculate efficiency?

We can calculate the efficiency by using the below equation as:

Efficiency = (Actual production / Theoretical production) × 100%

Given that,

Actual production = 604 kJ

Theoretical production = 2,416 kJ

On putting values in given equation, we get

Efficiency = (604/2,416) × 100% = 25%

Hence efficiency of the engine is 25%.

How is entropy related to the spontaneity of a reaction? AP3X

Answers

Answer:

S>0 contributes to spontaneity.

Explanation:

i just took the test on a pex :)

According to the law of thermodynamics, the relationship between entropy and the spontaneity of a reaction is S > 0.

What is entropy?

Entropy is the total amount of energy in a closed system that is present there, but there are no uses for that energy. It is the unused energy for any work.

By the second law of thermodynamics, any spontaneous process results in an increase in the universe's overall entropy. The total of the entropy produced by the spontaneous process and the change in energy brought on by the heat flow is known as the net change in entropy of the system or S.

The reaction will be spontaneous if the delta G is negative. Delta G is the Gibbs free energy. So the entropy S will be greater that the reaction.

The Gibbs free energy equation is:

△G = △H − T△S

Thus, the relation is S > 0.

Describe the law of conservation of mass in your own words *DO IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS PLEASE*​

Answers

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed but it can simply be transformed from one form to another.

For example, [tex]Na^{+} + Cl^{-} \rightarrow NaCl[/tex]

Mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Sum of mass of reactants = mass of Na + mass of Cl

= 23 + 35.5 g/mol

= 58.5 g/mol

Mass of product formed is as follows.

Mass of NaCl = mass of Na + mass of Cl

= (23 g/mol + 35.5) g/mol

= 58.5 g/mol

As mass reacted is equal to the amount of mass formed. This shows that mass is conserved.

As a result, law of conservation of mass is obeyed.

If 2.28 g C8H18 reacts with 7.00 g of Oz, predict the mass of CO, that can be produced and
identify the limiting reactant. Explain how you got your answers.
Unbalanced equation: C8H180 + 026) • CO26) + H₂O

Answers

Answer:

O₂ is limiting reactant and 6.17g CO₂ can be produced

Explanation:

Based on the balanced reaction:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

1 mole of C₈H₁₈ reacts with 25/2 moles O₂.

To solve this question we must convert the mass of each reactant to moles and, using the balanced reaction, we can find limiting reactant. With moles of limiting reactant we can find the moles of CO₂ and its mass as follows:

Moles C₈H₁₈ -Molar mass: 114.23g/mol-

2.28g * (1mol / 114.23g) = 0.0200 moles C₈H₁₈

Moles O₂ -Molar mass: 32g/mol-

7.00g * (1mol / 32g) = 0.219 moles O₂

For a complete reaction of 0.0200 moles C₈H₁₈ are needed:

0.0200 moles C₈H₁₈ * (25/2moles O₂ / 1mole C₈H₁₈) = 0.250 moles of O₂ are needed.

As there are just 0.219 moles, O₂ is limiting reactant.

Moles of CO₂ that can be produced:

0.219 moles O₂ * (8moles CO₂ / 25/2moles O₂) = 0.140 moles CO₂

The mass is -Molar mass CO₂: 44.01g/mol-:

0.140 moles CO₂ * (44.01g / mol) =

6.17g CO₂ can be produced

Deforestation is the act of destroying forests so the land can be used for other purposes. Do you think deforestation increases, decreases, or has no effect on the biodiversity of the forest ecosystem? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

deforestation decreases biodiversity of the forest ecosystem

Explanation:

Deforestation has to do with the process of felling trees. This process destroys forest ecosystems. Deforestation is normally carried out for the purpose of development.

An ecosystem is a self supporting unit in which living and non living things interact. The different species of plants and animals found in an ecosystem is called biodiversity.

Since organisms in an ecosystem interact among each other and with their non-living environment, destruction of the trees in the forest ecosystem leads to the loss of certain species present in the ecosystem.

For instance, climbers and animals found on tree tops are normal components of a forest ecosystem. When trees are felled and the forest ecosystem is destroyed across the world, these organisms are threatened. This leads to loss of species or loss of biodiversity.

Answer:

Here’s one possible answer:

Deforestation will likely decrease the biodiversity of the forest ecosystem. It reduces the living space and food sources for some of the organisms. Scarcity of space and food may be a threat to the population of those organisms. Over time, some species may die off, leaving fewer species in the forest.
