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.

Aluminum metal and manganese (IV) oxide react to produce aluminum oxide and manganese metal. What mass of manganese (IV) oxide r
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

4Al+3MnO_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3+3Mn

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of manganese = \frac{1.12\times 1000g}{55g/mol}=20.4mol

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of Mn is produced by = 3 moles of MnO_2

Thus 20.4 moles of Mn is produced by =\frac{3}{3}\times 20.4=20.4moles  of MnO_2

Mass of MnO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=20.4moles\times 86.9g/mol=1773g=1.773kg    (1kg=1000g)

Thus 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.
