A researcher discovers a new bacterium that lives on the seafloor near hydrothermal vents. This organism reduces CO2 to form C6H

12O6 (glucose), and also derives energy from H2 (by oxidation). This bacterium is a:
A. photoautotroph.
B. chemoheterotroph.
C. chemoautotroph.
D. photoheterotroph.

Answer:

C. Chemoautotroph

Explanation:

The new bacterium are able to create their own energy and biological materials  (glucose) from inorganic chemicals (CO2 and H2), therefore they are called chemoautotroph.

Given the standard heats of reaction
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

M(s) → M (g ) + 20.1 kJ --- ( 1 )

X₂ ( g ) → 2X (g ) + 327.3 kJ ---- ( 2 )

M( s) + 2 X₂(g) → M X₄ (g ) - 98.7 kJ ----- ( 3 )

( 3 ) - 2 x ( 2 ) - ( 1 )

M( s) + 2 X₂(g) - 2 X₂ ( g ) - M(s)  → M X₄ (g ) - 98.7 kJ -  2 [ 2X (g ) + 327.3 kJ ] - M (g ) - 20.1 kJ

0 = M X₄ (g ) - 4 X (g ) - M (g ) - 773.4 kJ

4 X (g ) +  M (g ) =  M X₄ (g ) - 773.4kJ

heat of formation of M X₄ (g ) is - 773.4 kJ

Bond energy of one M - X bond =  773.4 / 4 =  193.4 kJ / mole

A 3.31-g sample of lead nitrate, pb(no3)2, molar mass = 331 g/mol, is heated in an evacuated cylinder with a volume of 2.11 l. t
bearhunter [10]

The equation in this problem is: 2Pb(NO3)2(s) --> 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)

And the question is what the pressure in the cylinder is after decomposition and cooling to a temperature of 300 K.

 

Solution:

Moles of Pb (NO3)2 = 3.31/331 = 0.0100 

2 moles of Pb (NO3)2 will decay to mold 4 moles of NO2 and 1 mole of O2. So 0.0100 moles of Pb (NO3)2 will form 0.02 moles of NO2 and 0.00500 moles of O2 

Then use the formula: PV = nRT. 

P = (0.02 + 0.005) * 0.082 * 300 / 1.62 

= 0.380 atm
