Answer:

b. The number of electrons

Explanation:

A "neutral atom" has a <u>neutral charge</u>. This means that <em>its charge is equal to </em><em>zero. </em>In order for the charges to cancel out each other, the atom's <em>positive charge should be equal to the negative charge. </em>These being said, the number of electrons<em> (negatively-charged)</em> is then equal to the number of protons <em>(positively-charged). </em>Those atoms which are not neutral are called <em>"ions."</em> This means that they either have more or less electrons than the protons.

Which of the following shows the conservation of mass during cellular respiration? 3 CO2 3 H2O energy → 3 C6H12O6 3 O2 6 CO2 6 H

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The reaction that has been, following the law of conservation of mass has been $\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy$ .

The law of conservation has been given in the chemical reaction that there has been no loss or gain of the mass and energy.

The law of conservation has been evident when there has been an equal number of atoms of each element on the product and the reactant side.

<h3 /><h3>Conservation of mass in Cellular respiration</h3>

The following reactions have been identified as:

$\rm 3\;CO_2\;+\;3\;H_2O\;+\;Energy\;\rightarrow\;3\;C_6H_1_2O_6$

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 3

Product = 18

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 9

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 36

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

$\rm 3\;O_2\;+\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2$

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 6

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 24

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

$\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy$

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 6

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 18

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

The number of atoms is equal on the product and reactant side, thus follows the law of conservation of mass.

$\rm 6\;H_2O\;+\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;\rightarrow\;6\;O_2\;+\;Energy$

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 0

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 24

Product = 0

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

Thus, the reaction that has been following the law of conservation of mass has been $\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy$ .

Julissa combined baking soda and calcium chloride solution in a beaker. she observed bubbling and a white solid formed. Julissa

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

With chemical reactions, there are various factors that affect the rate of the reaction. One of these is temperature.

When you raise the temperature, the reaction will move faster. Why? Temperature is directly correlated with the kinetic energy (basically, the energy that makes the particles move). Higher temperatures mean higher kinetic energies. Particles with higher kinetic energies move faster, which makes them more likely to collide. When collisions occur more frequently, the reaction follows through more quickly.

Thus, when Julissa warms the solutions, she will see that bubbling and white solid formation (the products of the reaction) occus faster. So, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!

How can you make clay float in water?

erastovalidia [21]

To make clay float in water you have to shape it into something wide enough and roughly bowl-shaped so that it can displace enough water to compensate for its mass, just like a real boat.
