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.

Jack is playing with a Newton's cradle. As he lifts one ball to position A and drops it, it impacts the other balls at position
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Newton's Cradle is a neat way to demonstrate the principle of the CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM.

What happens here is when the ball on one end of the cradle is swung and it hits the other balls that are motionless, or stationary, the momentum of the swinging ball is transferred to the next ball upon impact.

Momentum is not lost in this action, what happens when it hits the next ball, the momentum is transferred to the next one, and then the next, and the the next, till it reaches the last ball on the other end. Since nothing is next to the last ball, it pushes the ball upwards, which will swing down and repeat the process going the other way.

This also demonstrates the CONSERVATION OF ENERGY. As you will see, the energy continues to move through the other balls, passing it from one ball to the other, which keeps this constantly moving.

A substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is __________.
ioda

A substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is  <u>base</u>.

A base which thus completely dissociates in an aqueous solution is referred to as a strong base. These substances produce one or more hydroxide ions (OH-) per base molecule when they ionize in water. A weak base, on the other hand, only partially splits into its water-soluble ions.

The three definitions of "base" used in chemistry are Arrhenius base, Bronsted base, as well as Lewis base. The fact instead that bases react towards acids is acknowledged by all base definitions.

Therefore, a substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is <u>base</u>.
