An electric motor turns a belt that powers a pump. If this system is compared to the chemical reactions of the cell, which part

den301095 [7]

The electricity on which the motor runs represents ATP.

ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is the energy currency of the cell. The energy released during the process of respiration is stored in the ATP molecule, and the ATP is stored within cells. Whenever the cell requires energy for any function, it simply hydrolyzes the ATP molecule, breaking a phosphate group off and releasing energy in the process.

What is cloud ? How does it affect on weather ?

Lapatulllka [165]

Clouds are xondense form of water vapour over dust particles present in the upper atmosphere.

It effects the weather as when the clouds get heavy they get precipitate in the form pf rain, snow, hail. because of these factors temperature goes down and make us feel cold.

Various members of a class of compounds, alkenes, react with hydrogen to produce a corresponding alkane. Termed hydrogenation, t

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: The mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Mass of hydrogen gas = 2.45 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:, we get:

$\text{Moles of }H_2=\frac{2.45g}{2g/mol}=1.225mol$

The chemical equation for the hydrogenation of decene follows:

$C_{10}H_{20}(l)+H_2(g)\rightarrow C_{10}H_{22}(s)$

As, decene is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrogen gas is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hydrogen gas produces 1 mole of decane.

So, 1.225 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.225=1.225mol$ of decane

Now, calculating the mass of decane by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of decane = 1.225 mol

Molar mass of decane = 142.30 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.225mol=\frac{\text{Mass of decane}}{142.30g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(1.225mol\times 142.30g/mol)=174.3g=1.743\times 10^2g$

Hence, the mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$

The theoretical yield for a reaction is 55.9 g LiCl. The actual yield is 24.6 g LiCl. What is the percent yield of the reaction?

xenn [34]

In chemical reactions, the actual yield is not the same as the expected yield . Actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield . Then we have to find the yield percentage. To see what percentage of the theoretical yield is the actual yield.
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
Percent yield = 24.6/55.9 x100%
Percent yield = 44%

A white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water.

sergeinik [125]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.

So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.

As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.

Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.
