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.

How many grams of water at 50◦c must be added to 16 grams of ice at −12◦c to result in only liquid water at 0◦c?
melisa1 [442]

When water at 50 C is added to ice at -12 C, heat is transferred from hot water to ice.

- Heat given out by water = Heat absorbed by ice

Calculating the heat released by hot water:

q = m CwaterΔTq = m (4.184\frac{J}{(g.^{0}C)} )(0^{0}C-50^{0}C)

Calculating heat absorbed by 16 g of ice: Ice at -12^{0}C is converted to ice at O^{0}C and then ice at O^{0} C to water at 0^{0}C

q = m CiceΔT + m (Heat of fusion)

q = 16 g(2.11\frac{J}{g.^{0}C})(0^{0}C - (-12^{0}C)) + 16 g (333.55\frac{J}{g})

q = 405.12 J +5336.8 J =5741.92 J

- Heat given out by water = Heat absorbed by ice

-(m(4.184\frac{J}{g.^{0}C})(0^{0}C-50^{0}C) = 5741.92 J

m = 27.4 g

Therefore, 27.4 g water at 50^{0}C must be added to 16 g of ice at -12^{0}C to convert to liquid water at 0^{0}C

Which physical method can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a sm
lana [24]

The physical method that can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a small beaker of salt and water would be evaporation.

<h3>Separation of salt and water</h3>

A mixture of salt and water can be separated by a method known as evaporation. This is based on the assumption that the salt in question is a water-soluble salt.

In order to separate the salt/water mixture:

  • Place the mixture in a suitable evaporating dish
  • Boil the mixture until all the water evaporates.
  • The remaining residue would be the salt

Care should be taken not to overheat the residue in order to avoid melting. Evaporation is generally used to separate a mixture of water and soluble salt. If the salt is insoluble, filtration using a suitable filter paper will filter off the salt while the water is collected as the filtrate.

A gas mixture with 4 mol of Ar, x moles of Ne, and y moles
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

a) \Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]

b) x=4

c) \Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol

Explanation:

Gas mixture:

n_{Ar}= 4 mol

n_{Ne}= x mol

n_{Xe}= y mol

n_{tot}= n_{Ar} + n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=3*n_{Ar}

n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=2*n_{Ar}

x + y=8 mol

y=8 mol- x

Mol fractions:

x_{Ar}=\frac{4 mol}{12 mol}=1/3

x_{Ne}=\frac{x mol}{12 mol}=x/12

x_{Xe}=\frac{8 - x mol}{12 mol}=(8-x)/12

Expression of \Delta G_{mixing}

\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*\sum_{i]*x_i*ln (x_i)

\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*[1/3*ln (1/3) +x/12*ln (x/12) +(8-x)/12*ln ((8-x)/12)]

\Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]

Expression of \Delta G_{max}

\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=0

\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)+12-ln ((8-x)/12)-12]

0=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)

0=[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)

ln (x/12)=ln ((8-x)/12)

x=(8-x)

x=4

\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (4/12) +(8-4)*ln ((8-4)/12)]

\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (1/3) +(4)*ln (1/3)]

\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[12*ln (1/3)]

\Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol
