What's the balanced equation for cellular respiration?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
5 0
<span>Correct answer is:

C_{6}H_{12}O_6+6O_{2}\Rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+energy

But how to get there?

Let's start with simple explanation of what exactly is cellular respiration. 

Cellular respiration is a multistage biochemical oxidation process of organic substances when prime product is energy (ATP - adenosine triphosphate) and other are released waste products. Cellular respiration takes place even if other metabolic processes are stopped, but cellular respiration may differ in particular organism groups.Some reactions during whole process of cellular respiration are similar in all types of living organisms.

Cellular respiration is prime indication of declining living processes.Only viruses which are on the edge of living organism and chemical particle are not performing cellular respiration.But to the point :P

In cellular respiration all substrates which are in the cell might be organic, but mostly we are using sugar oxidation - glucose in the presence of oxygen. Chemical formula of sugar looks like this:

C_{6}H_{12}O_6

Oxygen is just

O_2

so for now we have just part of the equation:

C_{6}H_{12}O_6+O_{2}\Rightarrow

But what would be on the right hand side?

It's quite simple, remember equation of full combustion? If we want to burn something we need oxygen like in the equation, so the product of this equation would be carbon dioxide, water and of course energy (ATP).Carbon dioxide formula looks like this:

CO_{2}

As a reminder water formula:

H_{2}O

Full formula would look like that:

C_{6}H_{12}O_6+O_{2}\Rightarrow\ CO_{2}+H_{2}O+energy

But still as you see this equation is unbalanced, after balancing it would like that:

C_{6}H_{12}O_6+6O_{2}\Rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+energy

At the end I would like to explain one more thing. Energy which has been released during this process is part of high-energy connection which might be used to perform chemical reactions in the cell or to move organism for example in muscles. We need to remember that production of ATP is not happening with 100% efficiency and part of this energy is released as heat.</span>

Group 1A element sodium combines with Group 7A element chlorine to form sodium chloride or table salt. Based on this information
Ymorist [56]
The answer is Na < Cl

Chlorine is more electronegative than sodium because this follows the trend of the periodic table. The trend states that an element's electronegativity increases from left to right of a period and bottom to up of a group. Since sodium and chlorine are from the same period, and chlorine is at the right of sodium, chlorine is more electronegative.

Which event is an example of melting?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

A. Wax drips down the side of a lot candle.

Explanation:

The chemical change from solid to liquid. This is a combustion reaction, so carbon dioxide gas and water vapour is also produced but you can't see them

A student prepared a stock solution by dissolving 10.0 g of KOH in enough water to make 150. mL of solution. She then took 15.0
yanalaym [24]

Answer: The concentration of KOH for the final solution is 0.275 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

 V_s = volume of solution in ml = 150 ml

moles of solute =\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{10.0g}{56g/mol}=0.178moles

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molality=\frac{0.178\times 1000}{150}=1.19M

According to the dilution law,

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where,

C_1 = molarity of stock solution = 1.19 M

V_1 = volume of stock solution = 15.0 ml

C_2 = molarity of diluted solution = ?

V_2 = volume of diluted solution = 65.0 ml

Putting in the values we get:

1.19\times 15.0=M_2\times 65.0

M_1=0.275M

Therefore, the concentration of KOH for the final solution is 0.275 M

Describe the reason why a reaction between two substances comes to an end.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: The process by which a particular substance or different substances are transformed to another is called as Chemical Reaction.One reason, in the case of reversible reactions could be that the reaction reached equilibrium before the reaction was complete.Chemical reactions occur when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.The concentration of reactants decreases as the reaction proceeds and at last their concentration comes to an end. Hence, the reaction stops too. If two reactants are being reacted, then the reactant which is in limited amount will consume first and will result in the termination of reaction.The usual reason is that one (or more) of the reactants gets used up.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!
