Answer:

cellular respiration

Explanation:

All exergonic processes produced in the cell, through which substances oxidize and chemical energy is released, are grouped under the name of cellular respiration, but to break down an organic molecule the cells employ, mainly dehydrogenations that can be carried carried out in the presence or absence of atmospheric O2 oxygen. There are therefore two types of breathing: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The latter also called fermentation.

Aerobic respiration  (oxidative phosphorylation)

- Use molecular O2.

- It degrades glucose to CO2 and H2O

- Exergonic

- Recovers about 50% of chemical energy

- Present in most organisms.

- It uses enzymes located in the mitochondria.

Complete the following single replacement reaction. If they don’t react, just write “NR”
Kipish [7]

Here we have to complete the given single replacement reactions.

The replacement reactions are-

1) Fe (s) + CuCl₂ (aq) → FeCl₂ (aq) + Cu (s)

2) Cu (s) + FeCl₂ (aq) → NA

3) K (s) + NiBr₂ (aq) → NA

4) Ni (s) + KBr (aq) → NiBr₂ (aq) + K (s)

5) Zn (s) + Ca(NO₃)₂ (aq) → Zn(NO₃)₂ (aq)  + Ca (s)

6) Ca (s) + Zn(NO₃)₂ (aq) → NA

The replacement reactions can be explained in light of the redox potential.

The standard reduction potential of the half cells involved in these reactions are:

Fe²⁺ + 2e → Fe (E° = -0.441V); Cu²⁺ + 2e → Cu (E° = 0.674V)

Ni²⁺ + 2e → Ni (E° = -0.23V); Zn²⁺ + 2e → Zn (E° = -0.763V)

We know the half cell reactions in which the standard reduction potentials are positive are allowed.

1) The reaction is possible as Cu²⁺/Cu and Fe/Fe²⁺ standard reduction potentials are positive.

2) The reaction is not possible as Cu/Cu²⁺ and Fe²⁺/Fe standard reduction potentials are negative.

3) The reaction is not possible as Ni²⁺/Ni standard reduction potential is negative.

4) The reaction is possible as Ni/Ni²⁺ standard reduction potential is positive.

5) The reaction is possible as Zn/Zn²⁺ standard reduction potential is positive.

6) The reaction is possible as Zn²⁺/Zn standard reduction potential is negative.

What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.0×1015Hz?
Anvisha [2.4K]
In order to emit electrons, the cesium will have to absorb photons. Each photon will knock out one electron by transferring its energy to the electron. Therefore, by the principle of energy conservation, the energy of the removed electron will be equal to the energy of the incident photon. That energy is calculated using Planck's equation:

E = hf

E = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ * 1 x 10¹⁵
E =  6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules

The electron will have 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules of kinetic energy

What is the effect of high activation energy on a chemical reaction?
alex41 [277]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

It makes the reaction harder to start

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Activation energy is minimum amount of energy that is required for a reaction to start. Activation energy determines the rate of a chemical reaction such that the higher the activation energy, the lower the rate of chemical reaction and vice versa.</u></em>
  • The source of activation energy needed to push chemical reactions forward is obtained from the surroundings. Catalyst speed up chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Therefore, catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy.
