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.

Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 22 subscript 11 upper N a right arrow superscript 22 subscript 10 upper N e plu

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

For the equation to be balanced, the total mass number and the total atomic number on both side of the equation but be equal.

This is illustrated:

For the mass number:

Left side: 22

Right side: 22 + 0 = 22

For the atomic number:

Left side: 11

Right side: 10 + x

11 = 10 + x

Collect like terms

x = 11 - 10

x = 1

Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen) at 0.959 atm and 298 K. Upon combusting t

Masja [62]

Answer:

Molecular formula of hydrocarbon is: C₂H₆

Explanation:

The combusting of the hydrocarbon:

CxHy + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Using gas law to obtain molar mass of the gas mixture (CO₂ + H₂O):

P/RT = n/V

Where:

P is pressure (1,208 atm)

R is gas constant (0,082 atmL/molK)

T is temperature (375 K)

n/V = 0,0393 mol/L

1,1128 g/L ÷ 0,0393 mol/L = 28,32 g/mol

Thus, average molecular weight is:

28,32 g/mol = 44,01 g/mol X + 18,02 g/mol Y

1 = X + Y

Where X is CO₂ molar percentage and Y is H₂O molar percentage.

Solving:

X = 0,397

Y = 0,603

39,7% H₂O

60,3% CO₂

With this proportion you can obtain ratio CO₂:H₂O thus:

60,3/39,7 = 1,52 So, 2 CO₂: 3H₂O

The moles of the hydrocarbon are:

PV/RT = n

P (0,959 atm)

V ( 1/5 of final volume)

T (298K)

n = 7,85x10⁻³ mol

The moles of CO₂ are:

0,0393 mol × 2 mol CO₂/ 5 mol total =0,01572.

Ratio of CO₂:CxHY =

0,01572 : 7,85x10⁻³ 2 CO₂: 1 CxHY

Doing:

1 CxHy + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

By mass balance:

1 C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

Thus, molecular formula of hydrocarbon is: <em>C₂H₆ </em>

I hope it helps!

What are the concentrations of h3o+ and oh− in tomatoes that have a ph of 4.10?

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer : The concentration of $H_3O^+$ and $OH^-$ are $7.94\times 10^{-5}$ and $1.258\times 10^{-10}$ respectively.

Solution : Given,

pH = 4.10

pH : pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration.

Formula used : $pH=-log[H_3O^+]$

First we have to calculate the hydronium ion concentration by using pH formula.

$4.10=-log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=antilog(-4.10)$

$[H_3O^+]=7.94\times 10^{-5}$

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

As we know, $pH+pOH=14$

$4.10+pOH=14$

$pOH=9.9$

Now we have to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration.

$pOH=-log[OH^-]$

$9.9=-log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=antilog(-9.9)$

$[OH^-]=1.258\times 10^{-10}$

Therefore, the concentration of $H_3O^+$ and $OH^-$ are $7.94\times 10^{-5}$ and $1.258\times 10^{-10}$ respectively.
