The molecules of carbohydrates (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) are the responsible to produce energy in our bodies as result of the metabolism (chemical reactions that occur in our body).

Answer:

Starch

Explanation:

Pasta is made of eggs and flour. The eggs are basically water, proteins and fats while flour is composed by starch.

Starch is a macromolecule that is composed of two polysaccharides, amylose and amylopectin, which are big chains of glucose, so starch is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are the biggest source of energy to the body, then, the starch will be the molecule in the pasta that increases the runner’s energy.

Bear in mind that proteins and fats also give energy but, as the starch is in greater proportion it will provide more energy to the runner.

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure heptane C7H16 is measured to be 454.mmHg. Suppose a solution is prepared by
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Mass of heptane = 102g

Vapor pressure of heptane = 454mmHg

Molar mass of heptane = 100.21

No of mole of heptane = mass/molar mass = 102/100.21

No of mole of heptane = 1.0179

Therefore the partial pressure of heptane = no of mole heptane *Vapor pressure of heptane

Partial pressure of heptane = 1.0179*454mmHg

Partial pressure of heptane = 462.1096 = 462mmHg

the partial pressure of heptane vapor above this solution = 462mmHg

DochEvi [55]
Combustion equation of n-hexane:

2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O

a)
Assuming we have 100 moles of air,
Oxygen = 20.9 moles
n-hexane required = 20.9/19 x 2
= 2.2 moles

LFL = Half of stoichometric amount = 2.2 / 2 = 1.1
LFL n-hexane = 1.1% 

b)
1.1 volume percent required for LFL

1.1% x 1
= 0.0011 m³ of n-hexane required
