Is bioluminescence an endothermic process bioluminescence an endothermic process or exothermic process?\?

1 answer:

6 0

Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction that takes place in a living organism when the organism emits light. Bioluminescence doesn't consume or produce heat, hence it can be neither endothermic nor exothermic reaction. It emits a heatless light not heat.
For bioluminescence, it could be said that it is an exoenergetic reaction because it uses energy from a chemical reaction to produce light.

a. volume of NO : 41.785 L

b. mass of H2O : 18 g

c. volume of O2 : 9.52 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (l)

Required

a. volume of NO

b. mass of H2O

c. volume of O2

Solution

Assume reactants at STP(0 C, 1 atm)

Products at 1000 C (1273 K)and 1 atm

a. mol ratio NO : O2 from equation : 4 : 5, so mo NO :

$\tt \dfrac{4}{5}\times 0.5=0.4$

volume NO at 1273 K and 1 atm

$\tt V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}=\dfrac{0.4\times 0.08206\times 1273}{1}=41.785~L$

b. 15 L NH3 at STP ( 1mol = 22.4 L)

$\tt \dfrac{15}{22.4}=0.67~mol$

mol ratio NH3 : H2O from equation : 4 : 6, so mol H2O :

$\tt \dfrac{6}{4}\times 0.67=1$

mass H2O(MW = 18 g/mol) :

$\tt mass=mol\times MW=1\times 18=18~g$

c. mol NO at 1273 K and 1 atm :

$\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}=\dfrac{1\times 35.5}{0.08206\times 1273}=0.34$

mol ratio of NO : O2 = 4 : 5, so mol O2 :

$\tt \dfrac{5}{4}\times 0.34=0.425$

Volume O2 at STP :

$\tt 0.425\times 22.4=9.52~L$

The reaction between SO2 and O2 to give SO3 was studied to determine the rate law for the reaction. The following results were o

Tom [10]

Answer : (b) The rate law expression for the reaction is:

$\text{Rate}=k[SO_2]^2[O_2]$

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

The general reaction is:

$A+B\rightarrow C+D$
