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.

What mass of H2 is needed to react with 8.75 g of O2 according to the following equation: O2(g) + H2(g) → H2O(g)?
Alika [10]

Answer:- B: 1.10g H_2 is the right answer.

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

O_2(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)

We have been given with 8.75 grams of oxygen and asked to calculate the grams of hydrogen needed to react with given grams of oxygen according to the balanced equation.

From balanced equation, 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen.

So, let's convert grams of oxygen to moles and multiply it by the mole ratio to calculate the moles of hydrogen that are easily converted to grams on multiplying by it's molar mass.

The complete set up looks as:

8.75g O_2(\frac{1mole}{32g})(\frac{2mole H_2}{1mole O_2})(\frac{2.02g}{1mole})

= 1.10g H_2

Hence, the right option is B: 1.10g H_2 .

A certain intermolecular force is created due to a brief concentration of electrons between nonpolar molecules. What best explai
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Many substances hold their molecules together in the liquid or solid bosom. This is due, in addition to the pressure and temperature conditions, by the forces of Van der Waals. These are still produced in nonpolar molecules by the movement of electrons through the molecules; in extremely short periods of time, their electrons "charge" towards one end of the molecule, producing small dipoles and keeping the molecules very close to each other.

Organic chemistry as the the study of general properties and compositions of organic compounds.

<h3 />

<h3>What is organic chemistry?</h3>

Organic chemistry can be simply defined as the study of organic compounds.

Organic chemistry studies the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds also known as organic compounds.

Thus, we can defined organic chemistry as the the study of general properties and compositions of organic compounds.
