Answer:

The six most important chemical elements of life are c. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, phosphate, and sulfur

Explanation:

Oxygen is the most abundant element and carbon is part of living organisms. Nitrogen is also abundant and hydrogen is a simple element that is found in all living organisms as well. Therefore, all of these 4 should be present in the answer. This excludes answers: a, b and d. The differences between c and e is that c includes sulfur while e includes calcium. Both include phosphate which is part of DNA and RNA. This leaves to decide which one is found in the highest concentration. Calcium is part of bones and compositions of several living organisms but sulfur is found in essential amino acids and it is necessary for bacteria and other microorganisms. So, c would be the correct answer.

A mixture of two compounds, A and B, was separated by extraction. After the compounds were dried, their masses were found to be:
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The percent recovery from re crystallization for both compounds A and B is 69.745 and 81.44 % respectively.

Explanation:

Mass of compound A in a mixture  = 119 mg

Mass of compound A after re-crystallization = 83 mg

Percent recovery from re-crystallization :

\frac{\text{Mass after re-crystallization}}{\text{Mass before re-crystallization}}\times 100

Percent recovery of compound A:

\frac{83 mg}{119 mg}\times 100=69.74\%

Mass of compound B in a mixture  = 97 mg

Mass of compound B after re-crystallization = 79 mg

Percent recovery of compound B:

\frac{79 mg}{97 mg}\times 100=81.44\%

A reversible reaction is one where A) there are large changes in the net free energy from substrate to product. B) there is litt
laila [671]

Answer:

A reversible reaction is one where <u><em>B) there is little change in the net free energy between substrate and product.</em></u>

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is one that reagents are transformed into products and at the same time products are transformed into reagents. That is to say that as the products appear in the reaction, they can react with each other by regenerating the reagents again. It is represented by a double arrow, indicating that the reaction can be carried out both in one direction and the other way around.

At the start of the reaction, there is a large amount of reagents. As time goes by, that amount decreases and speed too.

On the other hand, at the beginning of the reaction there are no products. As the reaction happens, the products are being formed and their speed will increase to match the speed of the reagents. When the rates of products and reagents are equal and constant, it is possible to say that the reaction is in chemical equilibrium. At this point, both reactions continue to happen, but the total concentrations of reagents and products no longer change.

The Gibbs free enthalpy or free energy of a system is a measure of the amount of usable energy (energy that a job can perform) in that system.

When a reaction system is in chemical equilibrium, it is in the lowest possible energy state (it has the lowest possible free energy). If a reaction is not in equilibrium, it will move spontaneously towards it because that allows it to reach a state of lower and more stable energy. Then when the reaction moves towards equilibrium, the free energy of the system decreases more and more.

Finally, <u><em>a reversible reaction is one where B) there is little change in the net free energy between substrate and product.</em></u>
