How does your body obtain energy from the carbohydrates you eat?

1 answer:

4 0

Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.

A chemist mixes 1.00 g CuCl2 with an excess of (NH4)2HPO4 in dilute aqueous solution . He measures the evolution of 670 J of hea

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$\Delta H$ will be 90054 J

Explanation:

Number of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of $CuCl_{2}$ = 134.45 g/mol

So, 1.00 g of $CuCl_{2}$ = $\frac{1.00}{134.45}mol$ of $CuCl_{2}$ = 0.00744 mol of $CuCl_{2}$

0.00744 mol of $CuCl_{2}$ produces 670 J of heat

So, 1 mol of $CuCl_{2}$ produces $\frac{670}{0.00744}J$ of heat or 90054 J of heat

A sample of octane undergoes combustion according to the equation 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O ΔH°rxn = -11018 kJ. What mas

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{528.7 g} }$

Explanation:

It often helps to write the heat as if it were a reactant or a product in the thermochemical equation.

Then you can consider it to be 11018 "moles" of "kJ"

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

M_r: 32.00

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 8H₂O + 11 018 kJ

n/mol: 7280

1. Moles of O₂

The molar ratio is 25 mol O₂:11 018 kJ

$\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{7280 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{25 mol O}_{2}}{\text{11 018 kJ}} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2}$

2. Mass of O₂

$\text{Mass of C$_{8}$H}_{18} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \textbf{528.6 g O}_{2}\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{528.67 g O}_{2}}$}$
