Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO

Explanation:

The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:

Element                            Carbon           Hydrogen          Nitrogen         Oxygen

1. % Composition              40.66              8.53                 23.72                27.09

2. Mole ratio =

%mass/ atomic mass       40.66/12         8.53/1          23.72/14            27.09/16

                                       =  3.3883            8.53              1,6943             1.6931

3. Divide by smallest

value (0.6931)          3.3883/1.6931    8.53/1.6931    1.6943/1.6931   1.6931/1.6931

                               =      2.001                  5.038           1.0007                      1

4. Whole number ratio        2                       5                   1                               1

The empirical formula = C2H5NO

What happens to the glucose molecule during the process of cellular respiration? (5 points)
Dmitry [639]

The correct answer is option a, that is, it gets broken down.  

A set of metabolic reactions and procedures, which occurs in the cells of organisms to transform biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then discharge waste components is known as cellular respiration. At the time of cellular respiration, a molecule of glucose gets dissociated slowly into water and carbon dioxide. With it, some of the ATP is generated directly in the reactions, which transform glucose.
