Answer:

D. a very fast run

Explanation:

Fermentation :

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced, however carbon dioxide is released in this step.

Anaerobic respiration in plants:

Anaerobic respiration in plants produced ethanol which if accumulate then cause the harmful effect in plants. It is also occur in some microorganisms such as yeast.

C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

Anaerobic respiration in animals:

Anaerobic respiration in animals pyruvate converted into lactic acid and it is not as harmful as ethanol in plant if accumulate. It is produced during exercise because oxygen is not supplied to muscles. It can produce the cramps which can be cured with massage.

C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₃H₆O₃

A chemist wants to observe the following reaction:

stiv31 [10]

It take more energy to break the bonds of the reactants and less energy is given off when the product bonds are formed.

<h3>What is Energy?</h3>

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Work is done in the breaking or formation of bonds.

The standard Enthalpy (ΔH) of water which was formed in the given reaction is negative.

ΔH= Δproduct - Δreactant

This means that the energy to break the bonds of the reactants is more.

Gaseous carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form gaseous methane (ch4) and liquid water. express your answer as a chemic

laiz [17]

The formula for the compounds in the reaction are as follows with the respective states
Carbon monoxide - CO (g)
hydrogen - H₂ (g)
methane - CH₄(g)
water - H₂O (l)
reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas gives rise to methane and water
the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows
CO(g) + 3H₂(g) --> CH₄(g) + H₂O(l)

Complete combustion of 3.20g of a hydrocarbon produced 9.69g of CO2 and 4.96g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the hydr

vlabodo [156]

Let empirical formula for hydrocarbon is CxHy

it will undergo combustion as

CxHy + (x + y/4) O2 ---> xCO2 + (y/2 )H2O

Given that mass of CO2 produced = 9.69 g

So moles of CO2 produced = 9.69 / 44 = 0.22 moles

So moles of carbon present = 0.22 moles

mass of H2O produced = 4.96 g

Moles of H2O produced = mass / molar mass = 4.96 / 18 = 0.28 moles

So moles of H present = 2 X 0.28 = 0.56 moles

Let us divided the moles of each with lowest value of moles

Moles of Carbon = 0.22 / 0.22 = 1 moles

moles of H = 0.56 / 0.22 = 2.55

Multiplying with two to get whole number

the ratio of carbon and hydrogen will be : C:H = 2:5

empirical formula : C2H5
