here can be a number of chemical processes by which a compounds can be broken down into simpler substances. The most common and wide-spread of such processes is Catabolism. Along with anabolism, catabolism make up the metabolism process for living organisms. In catabolism, complex chemical molecules (such as proteins, polysaccharides, etc.) are broken down into simpler molecules (such as amino acids, monosaccharides, etc.). This is often accompanied by release of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules and intermediate metabolites (which can be used by the organism in the anabolic processes). The energy thus generated is used for operation and maintenance of cells (and consequently, the body).  

Other processes that break down chemical substances into simpler substances, include depolymerization, decomposition, etc.

Hope this helps.

4.One rubber tire can generate about250,000 BTUS (1BTU=.0003KW ) when it is burned. The average American home consumes about 10,
jekas [21]

Answer:

The number of tires required to power ten homes for one year is approximately 2,730 tires

Explanation:

The given information are;

The energy generated by burning one rubber tire = 250,000 BTUs

1 BTU = 0.0003 kW

The amount of energy consumed by the average American home = 10,000 kWh

Therefore, the amount of energy generated by burning one tire in kW can be found as follows;

The energy generated by burning one rubber tire = 250,000 BTUs

1 BTU = 0.0003 kW

∴ 1 BTU × 250,000 = 250,000 BTUs = 0.0003 kW × 250,000 = 75 kW

We note that 250,000 BTUs is equivalent to 263764 kJ

1 kWh is equivalent to 3600 kJ

10,000 kWh = 10,000 × 3600 = 36,000,000 kJ

The energy requirement for ten homes  for one year = 10 × 36,000,000 kJ = 360,000,000 kJ

At 50% efficiency, the energy produced per tire = 0.5 × 263764 kJ = 131,882 kJ

The electrical energy produced per tire = 131,882 kJ/tire

The number of tires required to power ten homes for one year = 360,000,000 kJ/  131,882 kJ/tire = 2,729.71293  ≈2,730 tires

The number of tires required to power ten homes  ≈2,730 tires.

What is the pH of a KOH solution that has [H ] = 1. 87 × 10–13 M? What is the pOH of a KOH solution that has [OH− ] = 5. 81 × 10
vlada-n [284]

pH is the hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is the hydroxide ion concentration in the solution. pH KOH is 12.73, pOH KOH is 2.24 and pH NaCl is 7.

<h3>What are pH and pOH?</h3>

pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is the negative log of the hydroxide ion concentration.

The relation between the pH and pOH can be given as, \rm pOH = 14 - pH

The pH of KOH can be calculated by the formula,

\rm pH = \rm -log [H^{+}]

In the first case, the concentration of the KOH is 1. 87 \times  10^{-13}\;\rm  M

Substituting values in the equation:

\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log [H^{+}]\\\\&= \rm -log [1. 87 \times  10^{-13}\;\rm  M ]\\\\&= 12.73\end{aligned}

Hence, the pH of KOH is 12.73.

<u />

pOH of KOH can be calculated by the formula,

\rm pOH = \rm -log [OH^{-}]

The hydroxide concentration of the KOH solution is 5. 81 \times 10^{-3}\;\rm  M

Substituting value in the equation:

\begin{aligned} \rm pOH &= \rm -log [OH^{-}]\\\\&= \rm -log [5. 81 \times 10^{-3}\;\rm  M ]\\\\&= 2.24 \end{aligned}

Hence, the pOH of KOH is 2.24

<u />

The pH of NaCl can be calculated by the formula,

\rm pH = \rm -log [H^{+}]

In the third case, the concentration of the NaCl is 1. 00\times 10^{-7}\;\rm  M

Substituting values in the equation:

\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log [H^{+}]\\\\&= \rm -log [1. 00 \times  10^{-7}\;\rm  M ]\\\\&= 7 \end{aligned}

Hence, the pH of KOH is 7.0.

Therefore, KOH is basic and NaCl is approximately neutral.
