I am pretty sure the question says LAMPS and as far as i know lamp has a symbol

yup ur right
my bad
i was solving another question for someone else and i think i mixed it up with this part

my chem book says dat in extraction of iron from its ore
CaCO3 == CaO + CO2 by decomposition
but carbonates of calcium donot decompose ??

No Carbonates of Ca do decompose, infact all the carbonates of metals from Ca to Cu in the reactivity series decompose to form the metal-oxide and CO2

I think x=2.
The percentage of the water is it's mass.
So find the number of moles, using the formula, moles= mass/Mr
You will get 0.58 for cas04 and 1.16 for h2o
so the ratio is 1:2
so x=2
Hope this helps

Why does pesticide accumulate more in an organism as the trophic level increases? It should decrease, right? Because some will be lost in excretion,respiration and all...

I don't think we have to know such minute details for our MayJune IGCSE...do we?

As time goes by, the harmful effects of the pesticides affect may parts of the body. When another organism feeds on it, it also gets it and it develops in its body ...
Energy decreases as the trophic level increases

they had asked it in a past paper i guess of 2004

thanx alot thx chem is driving me crazy

the more the trophic level increases , the bio mass decreases n in other words it become more concentrated
like if a catterpillar has suppose 0.02 mg of pesticide in it , each bird feeds on many catterpillars so the concentration in its body is more than it is in the body of da catterpillar
hope thx helps

Why does a plant grown from a seed not identical to it's parent?

thx is cze seeds are produced due to sexual reproduction in plants , variation occurs during meosis while production of gametes and the reulting zygot dat the seed is the resultant of fusion of male and female gamete n have genes from both male n female so its nt identical to any one parent
hope i m clear

Send me the question. Let's see.

Yep

What's the concept of water cohesion and adhesion in transpiration?

 

[Phoenix Blood]

Why are there different tests: Starch and Reducing Sugar? I mean, sugar is a simpler form of starch itself,right? And what is this "Reducing" Starch mean?

What's an acrosome?
