Animals use oxygen to convert this food into energy they can use, and to maintain a steady supply of carbon atoms that are necessary for building any animal cells. Respiration also returns carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere as a waste product, where plants can reabsorb it in the process of photosynthesis. hope I helped.

How do we determine the central atom in a chemical bond? How information is need to determine the shape that results in the bond
EastWind [94]

Answer:

- the central atom is usually the atom with the lowest subscript in the molecular formula and the atom that can form the most bonds. If all of the atoms usually form the same number of bonds, the least electronegative atom is usually the central atom.

- molecular shape (the shape that a single molecule has) is important in determining how the molecule interacts and reacts with other molecules. Molecular shape also influences the boiling point and melting point of molecules. If all molecules were linear then life as we know it would not exist.

The following are electronegativity. What value should be where the M is?0.981.57M2.553.043.443.98No data
ipn [44]

Answer 2.04

Explanation

Electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period in the periodic table.

In the period two of the periodic table,we have the following values for electronegativities with respect to its elements.

Li...........0.98

Be.........1.57

B..........2.04

C.........2.55

N..........3.04

O...........3.44

F...........3.98

Ne........n.a

The value that should be where M is is 2.04

Which formulas represent two polar molecules?
Tresset [83]
The correct answer is shown in option 3. Water and hydrochloric acid are polar molecules. These molecules are polar because of the presence of bonds that are partially ionic or polar covalent bonds. Other examples are hydrogen fluoride and ammonia.

How many moles of Ammonium Sulfate can be made from 30.0mol of NH3? 2NH3 + H2SO4 --&gt; (NH4)2SO4
BartSMP [9]

Answer: 15.0 moles of (NH_4)_2SO_4 are formed from  30.0 mol of NH_3

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2NH_3+H_2SO_4\rightarrow (NH_4)_2SO_4

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of NH_3 give = 1 mole of (NH_4)_2SO_4

Thus 30.0 moles of NH_3 will give =\frac{1}{2}\times 30.0=15.0moles  of (NH_4)_2SO_4

Thus 15.0 moles of (NH_4)_2SO_4 are formed from  30.0 mol of NH_3
