During respiration, energy is retrieved from the high-energy bonds found in certain organic molecules. Which of the following, i

babunello [35]

Answer:

(A.) CO2, H2O

Explanation:

The chemical equation for respiration process is:

$C_{6}H_{12} O_{6}$ + $6O_{2}$ → $6CO_{2}$ + $6H_{2} O$ + ATP↑

Energy is released during the biochemical process in the organism's cells in form of ATP. Byproducts of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water molecules.

A single 250 gram

Gala2k [10]

2.2 x 10^-2

0.055 / 250 = 0.00022 - This would be 2.2 x 10^-4, but the question is asking for percent, not proportion, so multiply by 100% to get the percentage.

0.00022 * 100% = 0.022% = 2.2 * 10^-2

Stoichiometry

Analyzing reaction rxn
Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

[RxN - Balanced] CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

[Given] 130 g CH₄

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[RxN] 1 mol CH₄ → 2 mol H₂O

[PT] Molar Mass of C: 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H: 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of CH₄: 12.01 + 4(1.01) = 16.05 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 130 \ g \ CH_4(\frac{1 \ mol \ CH_4}{16.05 \ g \ CH_4})(\frac{2 \ mol \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ CH_4})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 9.75526 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2O$
