A student places a small amount of water in a glass dish and then carefully places a small paperclip on the surface of the water

. The paperclip floats. What happens if the student adds a drop or two of dish soap to the water? Explain your answer.

I believe that adding soap will make the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. Soap is a surfactant, which decreases the surface pressure of the water. The surface strain of water is what upheld the paperclip in the first place, so with the decrease in surface pressure the paper clip will fall.

Include: 
- Adding cleanser makes the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. 
- Soap is a surfactant. 
- Surfactants lessen the surface pressure of a fluid. 
- The surface strain of water is the thing that upheld the paper cut.

Compare and contrast the burning of wood and the metabolism of glucose in your cells. How are they similar, and how are they dif
Alisiya [41]

Burning of wood is a combustion reaction and the metabolism of glucose in your cells is cellular respiratory reaction.

Cellular respiration releases stored energy in glucose molecules and converts it into a form of energy that can be used by cells.

Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.

Wood as well as many common items that combust are organic (i.e., they are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen). When organic molecules combust the reaction products are carbon dioxide and water (as well as heat)

Similarities:

1. Combustion reaction and metabolism of glucose both require oxygen.

2. Combustion and metabolism of glucose both product carbon dioxide and water

3. Both produces by-products: After cellular respiration and combustion have gotten what they needed from the wood, there will be byproducts from the conversion. In the case of combustion, they are noxious gases like carbon monoxide. In the case of respiration, the sugar molecule is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid.

4. Catalyst: While breaking apart the bonds to release the stored energy either combustion or sugars for respiration the bonds will not broken by themselves. In each case, a catalyst is required to start the reaction that will break the bonds apart. In the case of combustion, the catalyst is a spark. Wood are flammable, so the spark will ignite the burning, breaking apart the bonds and releasing the energy. For respiration, enzymes are used to break the sugar molecule apart.

Differences

1. Glucose metabolism produces a chemical energy, while combustion produces light and heat energy.

2. Glucose metabolism is an endothermic reaction while combustion is an exothermic reaction (produces heat)

What is the guiding formula for combustion reactions​
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Explanation: so a combustion occurs when we react a substance with oxygen .you commonly call this "burning'' .therefore combustion will always include oxygen in the equation and the product will include carbon dioxide and give off water vapours

Therefore the general equation for a complete combustion reaction would be

Fuel + O2 ------ CO2 + H2O
