Answer:

III. Fatty acids are less oxidized than carbohydrates

Explanation:

Both triglycerides and glycogen may be used to obtain energy, this is:

- Triglycerides through the B-oxidation, where a molecule is first activated and entered into mitochondria matrix, to be degraded (oxidized)

- Glycolysis, where a molecule of 6 carbons is splitted in 2 components of 3 carbons each (pyruvate)

As an energy reserve substance, triglycerides have 2 main advantages, compared with glycogen:

1) From the chemical point of view, triglycerides have a more reduced state than glycogen (this is, have more atoms of hydrogens), hence these molecules give twice energy than glycogen

2) As triglycerides are hydrophobic molecules, they remain in an anhydrous form (unlike glycogen, which is hydrophilic), and this makes easier to move these molecules to obtain energy

Write a word equation for 2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2ZnS(s) + 2SO3(g)
hjlf

2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2Zns(s) + 2SO3(g)

the above given equation is unbalanced as it contains 4 moles of sulphur in the output but in the input there are only two aoms of sulphur so to balance the equation we will write the equation as given under

balanced equation is

2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2Zn(s) + 2SO3(g)


In words:

When 2 moles of solid zinc sulfide reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas gives 2 moles of solid zinc  and 2 moles of sulphur trioxide gas.

Mercury has a density of 13.56 g/ml. What is the volume in L of 52 kg of mercury?
sweet [91]

Hello!

Given the density of mercury being 13.57 g/mL, and the mass of 52 kilograms, we need to find the volume.

To find the volume, we need to divide mass by density (V = m/d).

Notice that you are given 52 kilograms, but not grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply it by 1000.

52 x 1000 = 52000 grams

With the correct measurements, we can find the volume.

V = 52000 grams / 13.56 grams/milliliter

V ≈ 3834.80826

Therefore, the volume of the mercury is about 3,834.81 mL.
