In nature, one common strategy to make thermodynamically unfavorable reactions proceed is to couple them chemically to reactions

that are thermodynamically favorable. As long as the overall reaction is thermodynamically favorable, even the unfavorable reaction will proceed.
Part A
Consider these hypothetical chemical reactions:
A⇌B,ΔG= 14.8 kJ/mol
B⇌C,ΔG= -29.7 kJ/mol
C⇌D,ΔG= 8.10 kJ/mol
What is the free energy, ΔG, for the overall reaction, A⇌D?
Part B
Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are
luciferin+O2ATP⇌⇌oxyluciferin+lightAMP+PPi
If the overall ΔG of the coupled reaction is -7.50 kJ/mol , what is the equilibrium constant, K, of the first reactions at 11 ∘C ? The ΔG for the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP is −31.6 kJ/mol.

Answer:

\triangle G= -6.7 KJ/mol

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Chemical Reactions:

X=A⇌B,ΔG= 14.8 kJ/mol

Y=B⇌C,ΔG= -29.7 kJ/mol

Z=C⇌D,ΔG= 8.10 kJ/mol

Since

Hess Law

The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is independent of the number of steps taken.

Therefore

Generally the equation for the Reaction is mathematically given by

T = +1 * X +1 * Y +1 *Z

Therefore the free energy, ΔG is

\triangle G=1 * \triangle G*X +1 * \triangle G*Y +1 * \triangle G *Z

\triangle G= +1 * (14.9) +1 * (-29.7) +1 * (8.10)

\triangle G= -6.7 KJ/mol

12. A beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. Will it float in water,
Greeley [361]

Taking into account the definition of density and Archimedes' principle, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

But first it is neccesary to know that density is a quantity referred to the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance or a solid object.

In other words, the density is the relationship between the weight (mass) of a substance and the volume that the same substance occupies.

The expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

In this case, a beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. This is:

  • mass= 4.9 kg= 4900 g (being 1 kg= 1000 kg)
  • volume= 5.4 L= 5400 mL (being 1L=1000 mL)

Replacing in the definition of density:

density=\frac{4900 g}{5400 mL}

Solving:

<u><em>density=0.907 </em></u>\frac{g}{mL}<u><em /></u>

On the other hand, Archimedes' principle says that an object immersed in a liquid experiences an upward vertical force equal to the weight of the volume of the dislodged liquid.

The sinking or floating of an object is determined by its density with respect to that of the liquid in which it is submerged.

Considering water as the liquid where the object is submerged in this case, an object with a higher density than water will sink. In contrast, an object with a lower density than water will float.

In this case, considering that water has a density of 1 \frac{g}{mL}, the bowling ball for beginners has a lower density. This indicates that, having a lower density than water, the object will float.

In summary, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

Se construye una pila galvánica con una barra de cobre sumergida en una disolución 1M de cationes Fe+2 y una barra de plata sume
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

El potencial celular estándar, E_{cell} is +0.46 V

Explanation:

Las reacciones de media célula son;

Media reacción del ánodo Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ↔ Cu, E ° = 0.34 V

Media reacción catódica 2Ag + 2e⁻ ⁻ 2Ag, E ° = 0.80 V

Sin embargo tenemos para hierro Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ ↔ Fe, E ° -0.44 V

y Fe³⁺ + e⁻ ↔ Fe²⁺, E ° = 0.77 V

 que es más alta que la del cobre presente, por lo tanto, el cobre se oxidará en el ánodo

Por lo tanto, en el ánodo, tendremos

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (E ° = -0.34 V)

En el cátodo

2Ag + 2e⁻ → 2Ag (E ° = 0.80 V)

E_{cell} = E_c + E_a = -0.34 + 0.8 = +0.46 \, V

El potencial celular estándar, E_{cell} = +0.46 V

What happens to the area of the world off the coast of Peru
joja [24]

Answer:The Peruvian west coast bordering the Pacific Ocean is a long desert strip that stretches from the departments of Tumbes in the north bordering Ecuador, to Tacna in the south bordering Chile for a total length of 1,555 miles or 2,500 km. The average temperature from December to April is 25 to 28C or 53 to 59F and the average temperature from May to November is 12 to 15C or 53 to 59F.

The coast covers about 10% of the territory but is home to more than 50% of the population. Large cities such as Lima, the capital, Trujillo, Chiclayo and Tacna are located in the coast. Cities along the coast are the center of economic activity attracting people from the interior of the country looking for economic prosperity.

idk hope this helps !!!!
