The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is

a faster process. How can this be?
Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

8. Which of the following have bacteria in their root nodules that fix nitrogen?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Leguminous plants like pulses etc. have root nodules comprising of rhizobacterium which live in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of the plant and in turn fix the nitrogen in the soil in the roots of the leguminous plants.

Hence, option A is correct

Which pair of elements can be used to determine the age of a fossil that is over one billion years old?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.

The half time of C-14 5730 years  

Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.

All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.

Carbon-14 dating is based on the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant

Consider the three statements below. Which numbered response contains all the statements that are true and no false statements?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) I, II, and III

Explanation:

For the first statement;

Solvation, is the process of attraction and association of molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute. if the solvent is water, we call this process hydration.

This means the statement is TRUE.

For the second statement;

The negatively-charged side of the water molecules are attracted to  positively-charged ions. In the case of water, the oxygen end is the negatively charged side of water. This means the statement is TRUE.

For the third statement;

The positively-charged side of the water molecules are attracted to the negatively-charged chloride ions. In the case of water, the hydrogen end is the positively charged side of water. This means the statement is TRUE.

Going through the options, we can tell that the correct option is option A.

The standard cell potential Ec for the reduction of silver ions with elemental copper is 0.46V at 25 degrees celsius. calculate
Cloud [144]

Answer : The \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : 2Ag^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o

where,

\Delta G^o = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

E^o = standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times 0.46)=-88780J/mole

Therefore, the \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.
