Julli [10]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

What happens to the glucose molecule during the process of cellular respiration? (5 points)
Dmitry [639]

The correct answer is option a, that is, it gets broken down.  

A set of metabolic reactions and procedures, which occurs in the cells of organisms to transform biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then discharge waste components is known as cellular respiration. At the time of cellular respiration, a molecule of glucose gets dissociated slowly into water and carbon dioxide. With it, some of the ATP is generated directly in the reactions, which transform glucose.

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? (Not sure if this is chemistry or not lol)
Leni [432]

Answer:

When white glue is in the bottle, there's not enough air inside the bottle to cause the water to evaporate to make the glue sticky. Basically, the bottle holds the glue from the air and keeps the glue from going everywhere.

The pK of acetic acid is pK = 4.76. For a 0.1 M solution of acetic acid at a pH = 4.76 what is the concentration of [H+]?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

[H+] = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

By definition pH = -log  [H+]

Therefore, given the pH,  all we have to do is  solve algebraically for  [H+] :

[H+]  = antilog ( -pH ) =  10^-4.76 = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵
