1) The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:  

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Plants convert solar energy into the chemical energy of sugars (food).

2) Chemical reaction of cellular respiration:  

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O.

Organic carbon (glucose) is transformed into inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) that goes into atmosphere.

3) Gasoline combustion:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O.

Gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).

Gasoline is being burn.

4) Balanced chemical reaction of forming rust: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Forming rust usually last for few months and iron changing in another substance with different properties.

5) An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.  

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).  

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).

Copper is forming from the solution, that is chemical change.

6) Balanced chemical reaction: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂.

Making limewater  (diluted solution of calcium hydroxide).

7) Neutralization is reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In this reaction, there are no acids and bases, only salts.

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and antacid:

2CH₃COOH(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → (CH₃COO)₂Mg(s) + 2H₂O(l).

Precipation is formed.

8) Balanced chemical reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid:

MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O(g).

Acid dissolves metal oxides.

9) Chemical reaction of silver in air:

4Ag + 2H₂S + O₂ → 2Ag₂S (tarnish) + 2H₂O.

Silver change color in the air.

10) Forming of patina: 2CuO + CO₂ + H₂O → Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂.

Brass (copper) change color to green.

Consider the following data showing the initial rate of a reaction (A→products) at several different concentrations of A.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

(1) order = 2

(2) R = K [A]²

Explanation:

Given the reaction:

A--------->Product

The rate constant relation for the reaction is given as:

R(i) = K [A]............(*)

Where R(I) is rate constant at different concentration of A.

Taking the rate constant as R1, R2 and R3 for the different concentrations respectively. Then the following equations results

0.011 = K [0.15] ⁿ.........(1)

0.044 = K [0.30]ⁿ .......(2)

0.177 = K [0.60]ⁿ .........(3)

Dividing (2) by (1) and (3) by (1)

Gives:

0.044/0.011 = [0.3/0.15]ⁿ

4 = 2ⁿ; 2² = 2ⁿ; n = 2

Similarly

0.177/0.011 = [0.60/0.15]ⁿ

16.09 = 4ⁿ

16.09 = 16 (approximately)

4² = 4ⁿ ; n = 2

Hence the order of the reaction is 2.

The rate law is R = K [A]²

The enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, is a large zinc-containing protein with a molar mass of 3.00 x10^4 g/mol. Zn is 0.218% by mass o
tia_tia [17]

The mathematical expression for mass percent is given by:

Mass percent = \frac{mass of the compound}{molar mass of the compound}\times 100

Put the values,

0.218 percent of zinc = \frac{mass of zinc}{3.00 \times 10^{4} g/mol}\times 100

mass of zinc = 0.218 \times (3\times 100) g

= 0.654 \times 100 g or 65.4 g

Now, number of moles of zinc  =\frac{given mass in g}{molar mass of zinc}

= \frac{65.4 g}{65.38 g/mol}

= 1.00 mole

Number of atoms of zinc is calculated by the Avogadro number.

Now, according to mole concept

6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of enzyme consists of 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms of zinc

So, 1 molecule of enzyme contains  =\frac{6.022\times 10^{23}atoms of zinc}{6.022\times 10^{23} }

= 1 atom of zinc.

Hence, every carbonic anhydrase molecule consists of 1 atom of zinc.

How does floating ice affect you in the world you live in?<br> PLZ EXPLAIN
Sholpan [36]

Water is one of the few substances which expand in volume when frozen, compared to liquid. Usually substances condense when cooled, but at the point of freezing, when liquid water becomes solid ice, the molecules lock into a matrix in which there is more space between molecules - ice expands! This is why ice floats on liquid water.

It is this miracle which has shaped the planet and allowed life to thrive. Expansion of ice is responsible for much land-shaping erosion on land, the heaving off of boulders from mountain tops. And the floating of ice on lakes, rivers and oceans - if the frozen water was indeed more dense than liquid water, it would sink and pile up in the cold depths. There would be no life thriving under the ice, overwintering. It would all eventually freeze solid, and all the life forms with it.
