Answer:

Explanation:

Insulin is an hormone used to regulate blood glucose, as it helps to maintain a balance. It allows for transport of glucose to organs such as liver.

The process of glucose regulation is a complex process. When food is eating glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream this happen from the gut and it raises the blood glucose level this causes insulin(hormone) to be released from the pancreas so glucose can move inside the cells and be used.

As glucose moves inside the cells, the glucose level inside the bloodstream returns to normal and insulin release slows down.

Glucose which is the main energy source used by cells is allowed to be taken up by muscles, liver and fat (adipose tissue) and use as a source of energy so they can function properly.

5. The rate constant for the reaction 3A  4B is 6.00 x 10-3 L•mol-1min-1. How long will it take the concentration of A to drop
valkas [14]

Answer:

it will take 444.44 min to reach 0.25 M from 0.75 M

Explanation:

since the reaction constant is k= 6.00*10⁻³ L*mol⁻¹min⁻¹. For a reaction rate of the form

-dCa/dt=k*Caⁿ

doing a dimensional analysis

[dCa/dt]=  mol/(L*min) =   [k]*[Caⁿ] = L/(mol*min) * (mol/L)ⁿ

then only n=2 can comply with the dimensional analysis, therefore we get a the second order reaction . Thus

-dCa/dt=k*Ca²

-dCa/Ca² =k*dt

-∫dCa/Ca² =k*∫dt

(1/Ca₂ - 1/Ca₁)= k*Δt

Δt= 1/k*(1/Ca₂ - 1/Ca₁)

replacing values

Δt= 1/k*(1/Ca₂ - 1/Ca₁) = 1/(6.00*10⁻³ L*mol⁻¹min⁻¹)*(1/0.25 M - 1/0.75 M)= 444.44 min

Isopropanol burns in oxygen to yield carbon dioxide, water, and heat. Which word equation best represents this chemical reaction
Marianna [84]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                      2 C₃H₈O  +  9 O₂    →    6 CO₂  +  8 H₂O

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

This is the combustion reaction in which Isopropanol, an organic compound is burnt in the presence of Oxygen to produce Carbon dioxide and water vapors.

The General reaction is as,

                Isopropanol  +  Oxygen    →    Carbon dioxide  +  Water

Chemical formulae of above compounds and molecule are,

Isopropanol =  C₃H₈O

Oxygen  =  O₂

Carbon Dioxide  =  CO₂

Water  =  H₂O

Hence, the balance chemical equation can be written as,

                      2 C₃H₈O  +  9 O₂    →    6 CO₂  +  8 H₂O
