Compare the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How are they similar? In what ways are they different?

1 answer:

8 0

photosynthesis and cellular respiration both are similar in the way that both produce energy. But photosynthesis differ from cellular respiration because in photosynthesis CO2 is used and O2 is released, while in cellular respiration O2 is used and CO2 is released

If two atoms are bonded with a bond energy of 87 kJ, what must be done to break the bond?

SSSSS [86.1K]

I would say the energy has to be decreased by 87 kj because the bonding is held together by 87 kj so removing that should prevent the bonding from taking place or reverse it I believe. In other words, a certain amount of energy is required to hold the bond together and in the absence of that energy, the bonding will not take place.

Which of the following choices contains the most thermal energy? a penny that is 20 degrees Celsius ( oC) an atom of aluminum th

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: a 900 milliliter (ml) pitcher of orange juice at 20 degrees Celsius ( oC)

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its temperature. The hotter the substance, the more its molecules vibrate, and therefore the higher its thermal energy.

Thermal energy refers to the sum of kinetic, potential, vibrational ,electronic and rotational energies of the object.

For bodies at same temperature, the body with more molecules will have more thermal energy due to more collisions.

In a well-constructed response explain the differences and similarities between Natural Selection and Selective Breeding

lakkis [162]

Natural selection and selective breeding can cause both animal and plant changes. The distinction between the two is that natural selection occurs without human intervention, while selective breeding occurs only when humans interfere. As a result, selective breeding is also known as artificial selection.

Explanation:

As it was stated in the comments by other user, the question is incomplete but luckily it was posted the rest of the question, so, I'm gonna answer it with the data of that. If you have another questions there, please submit it again or put it in the comments.

a) Which barium salt will precipite first?

In order to know this, we need to take a look at the Ksp of both salts. The given Ksp are:

Ksp 1: 2.1x10^-10 (BaCrO4)

Ksp 2: 1.3x10^-6 (BaC2O4)

Now, we can see that Ksp1 < Ksp 2, but what's this Ksp value means? a Ksp value means that an aqueous solution will form a precipite (So the solid formed, it's not soluble in water), As Ksp 1 is a smaller value than Ksp2, means that the concentrations of Ba and CrO4 are too small, and therefore, it takes more time to precipite. Therefore, the BaC2O4 will precipite first.

b) Concentration of Ba2+ present to BaCrO4 precipite

In this, we know that the reaction taking place is the following:

BaCrO4(s) <--------> Ba^2+ + CrO4^2- Ksp = 2.1x10^-10

The expression for Ksp is:

Ksp = [Ba][CrO4]

We know the concentration of CrO4 cause this comes from the K2CrO4 so, replacing here, we solve for Ba:

[Ba^2+] = Ksp / [CrO4^2-]

[Ba^2+] = 2.1x10^-10 / 0.0351

[Ba^2+] = 5.98x10^-9 M

c) Concentration of Ba^2+ to reduce 10% oxalate concentration

The 10% concentration of oxalate is:

[C2O4] = 0.0537 * 0.1 = 0.00537 M

So, we do the same thing we did in part b) but solving for C2O4:

BaC2O4(s) <--------> Ba^2+ + C2O4^2- Ksp = 1.3x10^-6

[Ba^2+] = 1.3x10^-6 / 0.00537

[Ba^2+] = 2.42x10^-4 M

d) ratio of oxalate and chromate when Ba concentration is 0.005 M

In this case, we calculate concentration of CrO4 and C2O4 with the value of Ba and it's respective Ksp, and then, calculate the ratio:

[CrO4^2-] = Ksp1 / [Ba^2+] = 2.1x10^-10 / 0.0050 = 4.2x10^-8 M

[C2O4^2-] = Ksp2 / [Ba^2+] = 1.3x10^-6 / 0.0050 = 2.6x10^-4 M

So the ratio is:

[C2O4^2-] / [CrO4^2-] = 2.6x10^-4 / 4.2x10^-8

[C2O4^2-] / [CrO4^2-] = 6.19x10^3
