How is enthalpy used to predict whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic?

Biology

Radda [10]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>329.48 KJ/mol heat is released by the combustion of 2 molof methane</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The value of enthalpy determines whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. If the enthalpy change is positive, then the reaction is endothermic (heat or energy released) and if the enthalpy change is negative then the reaction is exothermic (heat or energy absorbed).

2CH_4(g)+4O_2(g) => 2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

\Delta H \ reaction=[ 2(\Delta HfCO_2)+ 4(\Delta HfH_2O)]-[2(\Delta HfCH_4)+4(\Delta HfO_2)]

                            =2 ( -(393.5 KJ)/mol)-[2( -74.6 KJ/mol)+4(-241.82 KJ/mol)]

                            = -787 KJ/mol-[ -149.2 KJ/mol-967.28 KJ/mol]

                           = -787 KJ/mol+1116.48 KJ/mol

                                          =329.48 KJ/mol

<em>In this question, </em><em>the enthalpy of formation</em><em> has positive value and hence the </em><em>reaction is endothermic</em><em> in which the heat is released. </em>

Why is it more important to check for errors during dna replication than during translation?
marshall27 [118]
I think the answer would be because if there is an error in the DNA replication, it would affect one generation of cells. if the error would fall in the transcription or translation, there would only be one cell affected.
