What makes oxygen important during the respiration process

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]2 years ago
8 0
Oxygen is essential for respiration because the body uses it to 'burn' food molecules. Animals take in oxygen when inhaling and give off carbon dioxide when exhaling. Oxygen makes up almost 21% of the total gases in air, with most of the remaining gas being physiologically inert nitrogen.

How many joules are needed to heat 20.0 g of Au from 10°C to 50°C?<br> show work
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

297 J

Explanation:

The key to this problem lies with aluminium's specific heat, which as you know tells you how much heat is needed in order to increase the temperature of 1 g of a given substance by 1∘C.

In your case, aluminium is said to have a specific heat of 0.90Jg∘C.

So, what does that tell you?

In order to increase the temperature of 1 g of aluminium by 1∘C, you need to provide it with 0.90 J of heat.

But remember, this is how much you need to provide for every gram of aluminium in order to increase its temperature by 1∘C. So if you wanted to increase the temperature of 10.0 g of aluminium by 1∘C, you'd have to provide it with

1 gram0.90 J+1 gram0.90 J+ ... +1 gram0.90 J10 times=10×0.90 J

However, you don't want to increase the temperature of the sample by 1∘C, you want to increase it by

ΔT=55∘C−22∘C=33∘C

This means that you're going to have to use that much heat for every degree Celsius you want the temperature to change. You can thus say that

1∘C10×0.90 J+1∘C10×0.90 J+ ... +
