<span>This question asksyou to apply Hess's law.
You have to look for how to add up all the reaction so that you get the net equation as the combustion for benzene. The net reaction should look something like C6H6(l)+ O2 (g)-->CO2(g) +H2O(l). So, you need to add up the reaction in a way so that you can cancel H2 and C.
multiply 2 H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O(l) delta H= -572 kJ by 3
multiply C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) delta H= -394 kJ by 12
multiply 6C(s) + 3 H2(g) --> C6H6(l) delta H= +49 kJ by 2 after reversing the equation.
Then,
6 H2(g) + 3O2 (g) --> 6H2O(l) delta H= -1716 kJ
12C(s) + 12O2(g) --> 12CO2(g) delta H= -4728 kJ
2C6H6(l) --> 12 C(s) + 6 H2(g) delta H= - 98 kJ
______________________________________...
2C6H6(l) + 16O2 (g)-->12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) delta H= - 6542 kJ
I hope this helps and my answer is right.</span>

In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the p

Flura [38]

Answer:1.

Explanation: This reaction is catalyzes by pyruvate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate being the end product of glycolysis has many fates after glycolysis,one of which is to enter the TCA(Tricarboxylic acid cycle) cycle. It is first converted to actetate by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase. This enzyme converts pyruvate to acetate releasing CO2 and NADH because this oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is coupled with reduction of NAD+ which can feed into the electron transport chain.

Which statement is false? a) When reactants become products, they do so through an intermediate transition state. b) At equilibr

Tom [10]

Answer:

b) At equilibrium, equal amounts of products and reactants are present.

Explanation:

At equilibrium , the ratio of product of concentration of products and product of concentration of reactants is constant .

A + B ⇄ C + D

[C] [ D] / [ A ] [ B ] = Constant

So, the statement ( b ) is false .

All other statements are true .
