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.

a sample of gas initially at 0.92 atm and a temperature of 23.2 oc is heated to 40.1 oc. the resulting pressure is 1.3 atm which
Sliva [168]

From the gas law, PV=nRT we can say that P(pressure), V(volume) and T (temperature) are related to each other. The initial volume of sample is 408 ml

Given that initial volume of the sample = V1

initial pressure of the sample = 0.92atm

initial temperature of the sample = 23.2oC

Final pressure of the sample = 1.3atm

Final  temperature of the sample = 40.1 oC

Final  volume of the sample = 500ml = 0.5L

Using the relation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

V1 = 1.3x0.5x23.2/40.1x0.92 = 15.08/36.892 = 0.408

Hence the initial volume of sample = 408 ml

The mass of water in a single popcorn kernel was found to be 0.905 grams after it popped at a temperature of 175 °C. Using the i
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.583 kilojoules

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to pop a single kernel can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity of water (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

From the given information, m = 0.905 g, initial temperature (room temperature) = 21°C , final temperature = 175°C, Q = ?

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 0.905 × 4.184 × (175°C - 21°C)

Q = 3.786 × 154

Q = 583.044 Joules

In kilojoules i.e. we divide by 1000, the amount of heat is:

= 583.04/1000

= 0.583 kilojoules
