Synthesize Information In a multistep process, cells can combine the reactants glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) to form the pro

ducts carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Some cells can also perform the reverse of this process. Must one, both, or neither of the processes release energy? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

In one of the process, energy is built up from scratch, in the other one, energy is liberated for use by an organism or body.

The first process deals with a metabolic reaction in which energy is liberated:

         C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

In the above process, energy is liberated when glucose combines with oxygen. The waste products are carbon dioxide and water. This process liberates heat energy which can be used to do work.

   In the reverse process:

             6CO₂ + 6H₂O   →  C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

    This process stores energy in carbon chains as chemical energy. It is this energy that is released in the first process.

Therefore, we can see that the first process liberates energy and the reverse process stores energy.

1. How many grams are there in 7.5 x 1023 molecules of H2SO4?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

I cannot give you all the answer but I can help you to solve those.

Explanation:

The first question:

How many grams are there in 7.5×10^{23} molecules of H_{2} SO_{4}?

So we need to find the molecular mass first, use your periodic table,

And then we can find out 2+32+16×4=98 g/mol

Then, we need to find how many moles, by using Avogadro's constant:

Avogadro's constant: 1 mole = 6.02×10^{23}

∴\frac{7.5*10^{23} }{6.02*10^{23}}=1.25 mol(2d.p.)

Lastly, find the grams using the formula M= \frac{m}{n}

m=Mn

m=1.25*98

m=122.5g

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In conclusion, use those formula to help you:

M= \frac{m}{n} (which M = molecular mass(atomic mass) m=mass of the substance and n = moles)

Avogadro's constant: \frac {molecular mass} {6.02*10^{23}} = moles

An ion of oxygen has a charge of -2. How many protons and electrons does the ion have? ____protons ____electrons
jenyasd209 [6]
Oxygen has 8 protons and 10 electrons due to the addition of 2 electrons, determined from the ion charge. Likewise an ion of potassium has 19 protons and 18 electrons. Charge on fluorine would be -1 and charge on calcium would be +2. Atomic number is the same as the number of protons, so it would be 6, the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons which would be 13, and the charge is 0, as it is an atom and not an ion.

A person suspects that an unknown liquid is water. he adds 110.0 J of heat to 55.0 g of liquid. The temperature of the liquid in

Explanation:

First thing first, you mistyped the specific heat of water, which should be

c

water

=

4.18

J

g

∘

C

Now, a substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is required to increase the temperature of

1 g

of that substance by

1

∘

C

.

In the case of water, you would need

4.18 J

to increase the temperature of

1 g

of water by

1

∘

C

.

Notice that your sample of water has a mass of

1 g

as well, which means that the only factor that will determine the amount of heat needed will be the difference in temperature.

The equation that establishes a relationshop between heat and change in temperature looks like this

q

=

c

⋅

Δ

T

, where

q

- heat absorbed

c

- the specific heat of the substance, in your case of water

Δ

T

- the change in temperature, defined as the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature

Plug in your values and solve for

q

to get

q

=

1.00

q

=

239.096 J

Rounded to three sig figs, the answer will be

q

=
