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.

A hydroelectric dam produces renewable energy for the local area. Which best explains why more hydroelectric dams are not built?
romanna [79]

Answer:

The dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem.

Explanation:

Though it is believed that using the dam as a power generation or hydroelectric power supply generates no greenhouse gases, it, however, has many disadvantages which make it deemed not suitable or sustainable for use in the contemporary time.

Majorly, the top reason why more hydroelectric dams are not built is that "the dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem."

Also, it affects the water quality and other use of water for humans such as recreational use.

There is also a possible chance of dams producing methane; a greenhouse gas through the organic materials in the water that is rotting.

Consider the reaction: N2(g) + O2(g) ⇄ 2NO(g) Kc = 0.10 at 2000oC Starting with initial concentrations of 0.040 mol/L of N2 and
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

0.011 mol/L

Explanation:

This can be solved with something called an ICE table.

I = initial

C = change

E = equilibrium

Initially, there is 0.04 M of N₂, 0.04 M of O₂, and 0 M of NO.

x amount of N₂ reacts.  Since the stoichiometry is 1:1, x amount of O₂ also reacts.  This produces 2x of NO.

After the reaction, there is 0.04-x of N₂, 0.04-x of O₂, and 2x of NO.

Here it is in table form:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&N2&O2&NO\\I&0.04&0.04&0\\C&-x&-x&+2x\\E&0.04-x&0.04-x&2x\end{array}\right]

Now we can use the equilibrium constant:

Kc = [NO]² / ( [N₂] [O₂] )

Substituting:

0.10 = (2x)² / ( (0.04 - x) (0.04 - x) )

Solving:

0.10 = (2x)² / (0.04 - x)²

√0.10 = 2x / (0.04 - x)

(√0.10) (0.04 - x) = 2x

(√0.10)(0.04) - (√0.10)x = 2x

(√0.10)(0.04) = 2x + (√0.10)x

(√0.10)(0.04) = (2 + √0.10)x

x = (√0.10)(0.04) / (2 + √0.10)

x = 0.0055

At equilibrium, the concentration of NO is 2x.  So the answer is:

[NO] = 2x

[NO] = 0.011

The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.011 mol/L.
