What type of reaction occurs when complex compounds are broken down into simpler substances?

Chemistry

Zarrin [17]3 years ago

Complex compounds are broken down to simpler substances in catabolic reactions.

These kinds of reactions often occur in biological systems. In living organisms, complex compounds like lipids, proteins and complex sugar like cellulose are broken down into simpler forms. Products of these reactions are simple sugars, amino acids etc. but a certain amount of energy is also produced and stored in energy molecules for future use.

Which equation is a decomposition reaction? Li2CO3 Right arrow. Li2O + CO2 Zn + HCl Right arrow. ZnCl2 + H2 Na2O + CO2 Right arr
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Li₂CO₃ ⇒ Li₂O + CO₂ is a decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a single substance decomposes, producing two or more different substances. In other words, in this type of reaction two or more substances are formed from a compound. The atoms that form a compound separate to give the products according to the formula:

AB → A + B

It can occur spontaneously, or be aided by a catalyst, heat, or electrolysis.

In this case:

Li₂CO₃ ⇒ Li₂O + CO₂ It is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound decomposes into two or more compounds. So it is a decomposition reaction.

The equilibrium 2NO(g)+Cl2(g)⇌2NOCl(g) is established at 500 K. An equilibrium mixture of the three gases has partial pressures
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Kp = 41.53

Kc = 1.01

Explanation:

To calculate the equilibrium constant in terms of pressure, what we simply do is to use the equilibrium pressure raised to the power of the number of moles. What we are saying in essence is this:

Kp = [NOCl]^2/[NO]^2[Cl]

Kp= [0.25]^2/[0.174][0.093]^2 = 41.53

Kp = Kc (RT)^Dn

Hence, Kc = Kp/[RT]^(delta n )^-1

n = sum of the number of moles of products minus the sum of the number of moles of reactants= 2-3 = -1 in this case

Kc = 41.53/(0.0821 * 500)^1

Kc = 1.01

Calculate the pH of the solution that results when 20 mL of 0.2M HCOOH is mixed with 25mL of 0.2M NaOH solution.(post-equivalenc
Paul [167]

The pH of the solution : 12

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

HCOOH    +     NaOH   ⇒     HCOONa   +   H₂O

mol HCOOH =

\tt 20~ml\times 0.2~M=4~mlmol

mol NaOH =

\tt 25~ml\times 0.2~M=5~mlmol

Mol NaOH>mol HCOOH ⇒ at the end of the reaction there will be a strong base remains from mol NaOH, so that the pH is determined from [OH⁻]

ICE method :

HCOOH    +     NaOH   ⇒     HCOONa   +   H₂O

4                          5

4                          4                     4                   4

0                          1                      1                    1

Concentration of [OH⁻] from NaOH :

\tt \dfrac{1~mlmol}{20+25~ml}=0.02

pOH=-log[OH⁻]

pOH=-log 10⁻²=2

pH+pOH=14

pH=14-2=12
