Answer: Scientists use the term bioenergetics to describe the concept of energy flow (Figure 4.2) through living systems, such as cells. Cellular processes such as the building and breaking down of complex molecules occur through stepwise chemical reactions. Some of these chemical reactions are spontaneous and release energy, whereas others require energy to proceed. Just as living things must continually consume food to replenish their energy supplies, cells must continually produce more energy to replenish that used by the many energy-requiring chemical reactions that constantly take place. Together, all of the chemical reactions that take place inside cells, including those that consume or generate energy, are referred to as the cell’s metabolism.
An exothermic process is one that gives off heat.
Explanation:
This heat is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is one in which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.
Answer:
The International Date Line passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south
line on the Earth. It is located halfway round the world from the prime meridian—the zero degrees longitude established in Greenwich
These problems are a bit interesting. :)
First let's write the molecular formula for ammonium carbonate.
NH4CO3 (Note! The 4 and 3 are subscripts, and not coefficients)
17.6 gNH4CO3
Now to convert to mol of one of our substances we take the percent composition of that particular part of the molecule and multiply it by our starting mass. This is what it looks like using dimensional analyse.
17.6 gNH4CO3 * (Molar Mass of NH4 / Molar Mass of NH4CO3)
Grab a periodic table (or look one up) and find the molar masses for these molecules! Well. In this case I'll do it for you. (Note: I round the molar masses off to two decimal places)
NH4 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 = 18.05 g/mol
NH4CO3 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 + 12.01 + 3*16.00 = 78.06 g/mol
17.6 gNH4CO3 * (18.05 molNH4 / 78.06 molNH4CO3)
= 4.07 gNH4
Now just take the molar mass we found to convert that amount into moles!
4.07 gNH4 * (1 molNH4 / 18.05 gNH4) = 0.225 molNH4
Answer: A. The oceans‘ tidal would be smaller because the moon would exert less gravitational pull on earths oceans.
