Which of these organelles produces h2o2 as a by-product?

1 answer:

8 0

The parts constituting a single cell are called its organelles. Examples are ribosomes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies and many more. You might confuse the answer to this question because there is an organelle named Peroxisome. It is called such because it synthesizes Hydrogen Peroxide or H₂O₂. It breaks the compound into its individual components, water and oxygen. So, it uses up H₂O₂, not produce it. The organelle that actually produces H₂O₂ as a by-product is the mitochondria through the process of respiration.

In the laboratory, hydrogen gas is usually made by the following reaction: Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) How many liters

IrinaK [193]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of zinc = 5.566 g

Molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of zinc}=\frac{5.566g}{65.4g/mol}=0.0851mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Zn(s)+2HCl(aq.)\rightarrow H_2(g)+ZnCl_2(aq.)$

As, HCl is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Zinc is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

So, 0.0851 moles of zinc will produce = $\frac{1}[1}\times 0.0851=0.0851mol$ of hydrogen gas

To calculate the volume of hydrogen gas, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of hydrogen gas = Total atmospheric pressure - vapor pressure of water = (752 - 18.65) mmHg = 733.35 mmHg

V = Volume of the hydrogen gas

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0851 moles

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of hydrogen gas = $21^oC=[21+273]K=294K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$733.35mmHg\times V=0.0851mol\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 294K\\\\V=\frac{0.0851\times 62.3637\times 294}{733.35}=2.13L$

Hence, the volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

What is the relationship between an atom and a molecule?

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Atoms are given a different weight based on the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in the surrounding cloud. The same electromagnetic force that keeps a single atom together can also hold two or more atoms together to form a molecule, while numerous molecules join together to form matter.Apr 25, 2017
