Answer:

The correct option is: carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Explanation:

Cellular respiration refers to the process of generation of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from various nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Aerobic cellular respiration involves the oxidation of nutrients such as glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), by molecular oxygen (O₂) to give carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O) and heat energy.

Reaction involved: (glucose) C₆H₁₂O₆ (s) + 6 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (l) + heat energy

Therefore, in a cellular respiration, all the carbon atoms of the glucose molecules, form carbon dioxide.

A 253 g block of wood has the following dimensions: Length 15.24 cm Width 6.64 cm Height 3.56 cm What is the density of the wood

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

0.7 g/cm³

Explanation:

hey there,

< The formula for density is $p = \frac{m}{v}$ where m = mass, v = volume, and p = density. An easy way to remember the formula is density equals love. I found this easy to remember because p = ♡ and when you think about it, if you split the heart in half through the middle like a fraction, it will make $\frac{m}{v}$ (if you don't understand what I'm saying, try writing it out and you will be able to see what I'm talking about!)

We already know that the block is 253 g so the mass is 253 g.

To find the volume, always multiply the 3 values width, length, and height whenever you are trying to find the volume of a block.

15.24 cm x 6.64 cm x 3.56 cm = 360.25 cm³

Now plug it into the formula. $p = \frac{m}{v}=\frac{253}{360.25} = 0.7 g/cm$ ³ >

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.

Please need this ASAP. Calculate the mass of lime, CaO, that would be produced from 250 tonnes of limestone,

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

1.4×10⁸ g of CaO

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 250 tonnes to grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

1 tonne = 1×10⁶ g

Therefore,

250 tonne = 250 × 1×10⁶

250 tonne = 2.5×10⁸ g

Next, the balanced equation for the reaction.

CaCO₃ —> CaO + CO₂

Next, we shall determine the mass of CaCO₃ that decomposed and the mass CaO produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 40 + 12 + (16×3)

= 40 + 12 + 48

= 100 g/mol

Mass of CaCO₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 100 = 100 g

Molar mass of CaO = 40 + 16

= 56 g/mol

Mass of CaO from the balanced equation = 1 × 56 = 56 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

100 g of CaCO₃ decomposed to produce 56 g of CaO.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CaO produced by the decomposition of 250 tonnes (i.e 2.5×10⁸ g) of CaCO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

100 g of CaCO₃ decomposed to produce 56 g of CaO.

Therefore, 2.5×10⁸ g of CaCO₃ will decompose to produce =

(2.5×10⁸ × 56)/100 = 1.4×10⁸ g of CaO.

Thus, 1.4×10⁸ g of CaO will be obtained from 250 tonnes (i.e 2.5×10⁸ g) of CaCO₃.
