Why do living things need carbon

Chemistry

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.

Give the half equation to show what happens to oxygen when it is rusting
ycow [4]

Answer:

½O 2 + 2e - + H 2O → 2OH.

Explanation:

Redox reactions - Higher

In terms of electrons:

oxidation is loss of electrons

reduction is gain of electrons

Rusting is a complex process. The example below show why both water and oxygen are needed for rusting to occur. They are interesting examples of oxidation, reduction and the use of half equations:

iron loses electrons and is oxidised to iron(II) ions: Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-

oxygen gains electrons in the presence of water and is reduced: ½O2 + 2e- + H2O → 2OH-

iron(II) ions lose electrons and are oxidised to iron(III) ions by oxygen: 2Fe2+ + ½O2 → 2Fe3+ + O2-

Plz help plz help plz help meed
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

5106.38 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Current (I) = 0.0235 A

Voltage (V) = 120 V

Resistor (R) =?

From ohm's law,

V = IR

Where:

V => is the voltage.

I => is the current

R => is the resistor

With the above formula, we can obtain the size of the resistor needed as follow:

Current (I) = 0.0235 A

Voltage (V) = 120 V

Resistor (R) =?

V = IR

120 = 0.0235 × R

Divide both side by 0.0235

R = 120 / 0.0235

R = 5106.38 Ω

Thus, the size of the resistor needed is 5106.38 Ω

Choose the aqueous solution that has the highest boiling point. These are all solutions of nonvolatile solutes and you should as
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

0.100 M AlCl₃

Explanation:

The variation of boiling point by the addition of a nonvolatile solute is called ebullioscopy, and the temperature variation is calculated by:

ΔT = W.i

Where W = nsolute/msolvent, and i is the Van't Hoff factor. Because all the substances have the same molarity, n is equal for all of them.

i = final particles/initial particles

C₆H₁₂O₆ don't dissociate, so final particles = initial particles => i = 1;

AlCl₃ dissociates at Al⁺³ and 3Cl⁻, so has 4 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 4/1 = 4;

NaCl dissociates at Na⁺ and Cl⁻ so has 2 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 2/1 = 2;

MgCl₂ dissociates at Mg⁺² and 2Cl⁻, so has 3 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 3/1 = 3.

So, the solution with AlCl₃ will have the highest ΔT, and because of that the highest boiling point.
