In which cell structure does MOST of the process of cellular respiration take place?

1 answer:

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.

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l), ΔH = –1.37 × 103 kJ For the combustion of ethyl alcohol as described in the above equati

babymother [125]

Answer:

The true statements are: I. The reaction is exothermic.

II. The enthalpy change would be different if gaseous water was produced.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction: C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l), ΔH= -1.37×10³kJ

1. In an exothermic reaction, heat or energy is released from the system to the surrounding. Thus for an exothermic process the change in enthalpy is less than 0 or negative (ΔH < 0) .

Since the enthalpy change for a combustion reaction is negative. Therefore, the given reaction is exothermic.

2. The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is equal to difference of the sum of standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) of the products and the reactants.

ΔHr° = ∑ n.ΔHf°(products) − ∑ n.ΔHf°(reactants)

As the value of ΔHf° of water in gaseous state and liquid state is not the same.

Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction will be different, if gaseous water was present instead of liquid water.

3. An oxidation-reduction reaction or a redox reaction involves simultaneous reduction and oxidation processes.

The given chemical reaction, represents the combustion reaction of ethanol.

Since combustion reactions are redox reactions. Therefore, the given combustion reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

4. According to the ideal gas equation: P.V =n.R.T

Volume (V) ∝ n (number of moles of gas)

Since the number of moles (n) of gaseous reactants is 3 and number of moles of gaseous (n) products is 2.

Therefore, the volume occupied by 3 moles of the reactant gaseous molecules will be more than 2 moles product gaseous molecules.

What is the density of a 6cm3 cork that has a mass of 3g?

Andreyy89

Answer:

The density is 0,5 g/cm3

Explanation:

The density (δ) is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a compound:

δ=m/v= 3 g/6 cm3= 0,5 g/cm3

Given a 0.200 M solution of anserine at its isoelectric point and ready access to 0.100 M HCl, 0.100 M NaOH and distilled water,

vekshin1

Solution :

Given :

Amount of anserine solution = 0.200 M

pH value is = 7.20

Preparation of 0.04 M solution of anserine from the 0.2 M solution.

0.2 M x $x$ = 0.04 M x 1000 ml

$x$ = 200 ml

So the 200 ml of 0.2 M anserine solution is required to prepare0.04 M of anserine.

0.1 M x $x$ = 0.04 x 1000 ml

$x$ = 400 ml

Therefore, 400 ml of HCl is needed.
