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.

Each 5-ml teaspoon of Extra Strength Maalox Plus contains 450 mg of magnesium hydroxide and 500 mg of aluminum hydroxide. How ma
Art [367]

Answer:

0.0347 moles of hydronium ions

Explanation:

The equation of the neutralization reaction between hydroxide and hydronium ions is given below:

H₃O+ (aq) + OH- (aq) ----> 2 H₂O (l)

From the equation above, 1 mole of hydroxide ions will neutralize one mole hydronium ions.

The moles of hydroxide ions present in 1 teaspoon or 5 mL of antacid product is calculated as follows:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂ = 58 g/mol

Molar mass of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)₃ = 78 g/mol

Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 450 g = 0.45 g

Mass of aluminium hydroxide = 500 mg = 0.5 g

Moles of magnesium hydroxide = (0.45/58) moles

Moles of aluminium hydroxide = (0.5/78) moles

Equation of the ionization of magnesium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide is given below:

Mg(OH)₂ (aq) ----> Mg²+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)

Al(OH)₃ (aq) ---> Al³+ (aq) + 3 OH- (aq)

Number of moles of hydroxide ions present in (0.45/58) moles of magnesium hydroxide = 2 × (0.45/58) moles = 0.0155 moles

Number of moles of hydroxide ions present in (0.5/78) moles of aluminium hydroxide = 3 × (0.5/78) moles = 0.0192 moles

Total moles of hydroxide ions = 0.0155 + 0.0192 = 0.0347 moles hydroxide ions

Therefore, 0.0347 moles of hydroxide ions will neutralize 0.0347 moles of hydronium ions.
