6 0

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles are basically considered the power producers of the cell, it converts oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate or ATP, which is the chemical energy,also known as "currency" of the cell which powers the metabolic actions of the cell. This process is called aerobic respiration and it is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Cellular repiration happens in the mitochodrion. The 3 phases of cellular respiration are Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport and Glycolysis (Fermentation). Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle and electron transport take place in the mitochondria.

Why does such a small decrease in pH mean such a large increase in acidity?

den301095 [7]

Answer:

pH is an index of how many protons, or hydrogen ions (H+) are dissolved and free in a solution. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. A fluid with a pH of 7 is neutral. Below 7, it is acidic; above 7, it is alkaline.

The more below or above 7 a solution is, the more acidic or alkaline it is. The scale is not linear—a drop from pH 8.2 to 8.1 indicates a 30 percent increase in acidity, or concentration of hydrogen ions; a drop from 8.1 to 7.9 indicates a 150 percent increase in acidity. Bottom line: Small-sounding changes in ocean pH are actually quite large and definitely in the direction of becoming less alkaline, which is the same as becoming more acidic.

If you think about it, we use descriptive words like this all the time. A person who stands 5’5” tall and weighs 300 pounds isn’t thin. If he loses 100 pounds, he still won’t be thin, but he will be thinner than he was before he went on the diet. (And we are more likely to comment that he’s looking trimmer than to say he’s not as fat as he used to be.)

Calculate the ΔG°rxn using the following information at 298K. 2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g) → 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) ΔG°rxn = ? ΔH°f (kJ/mol) -2

Mkey [24]

Answer:

ΔG°rxn = +50.8 kJ/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to obtain ΔG°rxn of a reaction at certain temperature from ΔH°rxn and S°rxn, thus:

ΔG°rxn = ΔH°rxn - T×S°rxn (1)

In the reaction:

2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g) → 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l)

ΔH°rxn = 3×ΔHfNO2 + ΔHfH2O - (2×ΔHfHNO3 + ΔHfNO)
