Metabolism is all chemical reactions that occur in organisms, including those that occur at the cellular level.

<h2> Further Explanation </h2>

The three main goals of metabolism are:

  • Converting food into energy to run cellular processes.
  • Conversion of food / fuel into a constituent of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and some carbohydrates.
  • Nitrogen waste disposal. The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme allows the organism to grow and multiply, maintain its structure, and respond to its environment.

In general, metabolism has two directional trajectories for organic chemical reactions:

catabolism, which is a reaction that breaks down molecules of organic compounds, such as the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate by cellular respiration;

anabolism, which is a reaction that assembles (synthesis) organic compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids from certain molecules.

Catabolism is a series of metabolic processes that break down large molecules, including breaking down and oxidizing food molecules. The purpose of catabolic reactions is to provide the energy and components needed by anabolic reactions in order to build molecules.

Anabolism is a metabolic pathway that arranges several simple organic compounds into chemical compounds or complex molecules. This process requires outside energy. The energy used in this reaction can be either light energy or chemical energy. The energy, then used to bind these simple compounds into more complex compounds. So, in this process the required energy is not lost, but stored in the form of chemical bonds in the complex compounds formed.

How many molecules OF2 would have a mass of .132 g
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.47 × 10²¹ molecules OF₂

<h3>General Formulas and Concepts: </h3>

  • Left to Right

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation: </h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

0.132 g OF₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of F - 19.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of OF₂ - 16.00 + 2(19.00) = 54.00 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                               \displaystyle 0.132 \ g \ OF_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ OF_2}{54.00 \ g \ OF_2})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ OF_2}{1 \ mol \ OF_2})
  2. Divide/Multiply:                                                                                               \displaystyle 1.47204 \cdot 10^{21} \ molecules \ OF_2

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

1.47204 × 10²¹ molecules OF₂ ≈ 1.47 × 10²¹ molecules OF₂

Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate ΔH∘rxn for the following reaction______.2H2S(g)+3O2(g)→2H2O(l)+2SO2(g) ΔH∘rxn
Ahat [919]

Answer:

-1,103.39KJ/mol

Explanation:

We use the subtract the standard enthalphies of formation of the reactants from that of the products. It must be taken into consideration that the enthalpy of formation of elements and their molecules alone are not taken into consideration. Hence, what we would be considering are the standard enthalpies of formation of H2S, H2O and SO2.

In places where we have more than one mole, we multiply by the number of moles as seen in the balanced chemical equations.

The standard enthalpies of the molecules above are as follows:

H2S = -20.63KJ/mol

H2O = -285.8KJ/mol

SO2 = -296.84KJ/mol

O2 = 0KJ/mol

ΔrH⦵ = [2ΔfH⦵(H2O) + 2 ΔfH⦵(SO2)] − [ΔfH⦵(H2S) + 3

 ΔfH⦵(O2)]

ΔrH⦵ =[(2 × -285.8) + (2 × -296.84)]

-[ 3 × -20.63)]

= (-571.6 - 593.68 + 61.89) = -1,103.39KJ/mol

What does it mean when a reaction is spontaneous apex?
natima [27]
A reaction that is spontaneous means that it can produce products without the supply of energy. The total energy from the reactants reached the activation energy that allow the reaction proceed. An example of this is the decay of a diamond into graphite occuring readily.

Which of the following describes the relationship correctly?
galben [10]
A. Air expands, becomes less dense and rises when the temperature is high due to the increased kinetic energy. This causes the air molecules to move around much more so they are further apart.
