Answer:

Mitochondria

Explanation:

Glucose in an energy molecule contained in carbohydrate food substances. The end product of the digestion of carbohydrate is glucose which is broken down to produce energy.

The sequence of breakdown of glucose is as follows; In the first step, 6-carbon glucose is broken down into two molecules of 3-carbon pyruvic acid. This occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is an anaerobic process.

In the second step which occurs in the mitochondrion, each of the molecules of pyruvic acid is now oxidized to carbon dioxide and water and energy is produced in the process.

What effect does the speed of molecules have on matter?.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

An increase in the speed of the molecules competes with the attraction between molecules and causes molecules to move a little further apart. Cooling a liquid decreases the speed of the molecules.

the chemical compound C2F4 is used to make PTEE (Teflon). How manyC2F4 molecules are in 485 kilograms of this material?

monitta

Answer:

$molecules=2.92x10^{27}moleculesC_2F_4$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the Avogadro's number to compute the molecules of C2F4 whose molar mass is 100 g/mol contained in a 485-kg sample as shown below:

$molecules=485kgC_2F_4*\frac{1000gC_2F_4}{1kgC_2F_4} *\frac{1molC_2F_4}{100gC_2F_4}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molecules C_2F_4}{1molC_2F_4} \\\\molecules=2.92x10^{27}moleculesC_2F_4$

If the original solution contained 0.12 mol hcl, what amount of hcl, in moles, will remain when the reaction is complete? 1.4 g

horsena [70]

First, we have to know the reaction between HCl and Zn. This is a single replacement reaction as shown below:

2 HCl + Zn → ZnCl₂ + 2 H⁺

The molar mass for zinc is 65.38 g/mol. Convert mass to moles and compute for moles of HCl needed to completely react.

Mole of Zn = 1.4 g * 1 mol/65.38 g = 0.0214 moles Zn
Moles of HCl reacted = 0.0214 mol Zn * ( 2 mol HCl/1 mol Zn) = 0.0428 mol
Moles HCl remaining = 0.12 - 0.0428 = 0/077 moles HCl
