The coefficient of O2 is 19 since their are 38 oxygen atoms on the product side and each O2 molecule has 2 atoms.  38/2=19

Answer : The coefficient of O_2 used is, 19

Explanation :

Law of conservation of matter : It states that the number of atoms of each element on reactant side should be equal to the product side in the chemical reaction.

In the unbalanced reaction, the number of atoms of hydrogen and carbon is balanced but the number of atoms of oxygen are not balanced. As, there are 2 number of atoms of oxygen on reactant side and there are 38 number of atoms of oxygen on product side. So, for the balanced oxygen we multiply the reactant oxygen by the whole number 19.

The given balanced reaction will be,

2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O

Hence, the smallest whole-number coefficient of  used for balanced chemical reaction is, 19

Where glucose is broken down into smaller molecules to produce energy. The second part of the process takes place in the
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Mitochondria

Explanation:

Glucose in an energy molecule contained in carbohydrate food substances. The end product of the digestion of carbohydrate is glucose which is broken down to produce energy.

The sequence of breakdown of glucose is as follows; In the first step, 6-carbon glucose is broken down into two molecules of  3-carbon pyruvic acid. This occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is an anaerobic process.

In the second step which occurs in the mitochondrion, each of the molecules of pyruvic acid is now oxidized to carbon dioxide and water and energy is produced in the process.

What is the freezing point (in degrees Celcius) of 3.75 kg of water if it contains 189.9 g of C a B r 2?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The freezing point of the solution is -1.4°C

Explanation:

Freezing point decreases by the addition of a solute to the original solvent, <em>freezing point depression formula is:</em>

ΔT = kf×m×i

<em>Where Kf is freezing point depression constant of the solvent (1.86°C/m), m is molality of the solution (Moles CaBr₂ -solute- / kg water -solvent) and i is Van't Hoff factor.</em>

Molality of the solution is:

-moles CaBr₂ (Molar mass:

189.9g ₓ (1mol / 199.89g) = 0.95 moles

Molality is:

0.95 moles CaBr₂ / 3.75kg water = <em>0.253m</em>

Van't hoff factor represents how many moles of solute are produced after the dissolution of 1 mole of solid solute, for CaBr₂:

CaBr₂(s) → Ca²⁺ + 2Br⁻

3 moles of ions are formed from 1 mole of solid solute, Van't Hoff factor is 3.

Replacing:

ΔT = kf×m×i

ΔT = 1.86°C/m×0.253m×3

ΔT = 1.4°C

The freezing point of water decreases in 1.4°C. As freezing point of water is 0°C,

<h3>The freezing point of the solution is -1.4°C</h3>
