Answer:

8.467 grams of oxygen

Explanation:

The law governing this problem is "The Law of Constant Composition "

As per this law, all compounds irrespective of their origin and source have the same composition and properties  in their purest form

It is a simple proportion and ratio related problem.

1.50 grams of carbon require 2.0 grams of oxygen

1.0 grams of carbon will require oxygen

= \frac{2}{1.5}

6.35 grams of carbon will require oxygen

\frac{2}{1.5}*6.35\\= 8.4666\\= 8.467

 It contain oxygen atom calculated below
<span>6.35gC x 2.00gO/1.50gC
 = 8.47g O 
</span><span>  The law is that a sample of a pure substance is the same as any other sample of the pure substance no matter what the source is
</span>hope it helps

How do cells release <br> Energy in the process of cellular respiration
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration
