Answer:
29.42 Litres
Explanation:
The general/ideal gas equation is used to solve this question as follows:
PV = nRT
Where;
P = pressure (atm)
V = volume (L)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)
T = temperature (K
According to the information provided in this question;
mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 25g
Pressure = 0.785 atm
Temperature = 315K
Volume = ?
To calculate the number of moles (n) of N2, we use:
mole = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of N2 = 14(2) = 28g/mol
mole = 25/28
mole = 0.893mol
Using PV = nRT
V = nRT/P
V = (0.893 × 0.0821 × 315) ÷ 0.785
V = 23.09 ÷ 0.785
V = 29.42 Litres
The symbol for the hydroxide ion is OH-
Answer:
Explanation:
The pressure, the volume and the temperature of an ideal gas are related to each other by the equation of state:
where
p is the pressure of the gas
V is the volume of the gas
n is the number of moles
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature
For the gas in this problem:
n = 2.00 mol is the number of moles
V = 17.4 L is the gas volume
p = 3.00 atm is the gas pressure
is the absolute temperature
Solving for R, we find the gas constant:
Food molecules contain biochemical energy which is made available by a process called respiration.
Respiration is the process within cells by which living things break down food chemicals in their bodies and use them as a source of energy.
The proteins, lipids and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules. This process is named catabolism and occurs in 3 stages.
Stage 1 is the enzymatic breakdown of food molecules in the digestion process into their monomer subunits- amino acids, glucose and glycerol.
Stage 2 is the process of glycolysis where each molecule of glucose is converted to pyruvate.
Stage 3 is production of ATP, the form of energy needed by the body to function. This stage takes place in the mitochondria of the cells. ATP is produced from conversion of pyruvate to acetylCoA in a process called the Citric Acid Cycle.
