Why is respiration an exothermic reaction? A. a large amount of energy is released into its surroundings B. the heat content, q,
of the reaction is positive C. a large amount of energy is required to activate the reaction D. there is no exchange of energy between the system and the surrounding

During the respiration, glucose molecules are converted to other molecules in a series of steps. They finally end up as as carbon-dioxide and water.
The overall reaction is
<span>C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 2805 kJ
</span>
The reaction is exothermic reaction because <span>C=O and O-H bonds in the products are so much more stable than the bonds in the reactants.
</span>
Bond energy is the average needed to break a bond.
Some bond energies are:
C-C = 347 kJ/mol
C-H = 413kJ/mol;
C-O = 358 kJ/mol;
O-H = 467 kJ/mol;
O=O = 495 kJ/mol;
<span>C=O = 799 kJ/mol</span>

Answer:
, the minus meaning west.
Explanation:
We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before () and after (
) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.
Before the explosion we have .
After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so .
These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.
Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:
Which means (since we want and
):
So for our values we have:
