Answer:

Explanation:

C = 41.4/12 = 3.43

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

O = 55.1/16 =3.44

CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.

(CHO)_x = 116

C + H + O = 29

(29) _ x = 116

x = 116/29

x = 4

So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.

The correct formula is C4H4O4

Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) Graph

b) Weight balance or gas syringe  or upside-down measuring cylinder

Explanation:

a) Identifying a trend in temperature change over time - The best tool for this scenario is to represents the temperature daily, weekly, monthly or annually on graph to interpret the fluctuation in temperature owing to local seasonal changes and weather conditions

b) Measuring the mass of a product of a chemical reaction - If the product is solid or liquid then the balance is used to measure the mass. If the product is a gas, then  gas syringe  or upside-down measuring cylinder is used.

The key enzyme in the regulation of the citric acid cycle is:.
bixtya [17]

The key enzyme in the regulation of the citric acid cycle is citrate synthase. It functions in the mitochondria.

<h3>Citrate synthase and cellular respiration </h3>

Cellular respiration is a series of reactions that produce ATP by using the energy stores in the chemical bonds of foods.

Cellular respiration is divided into glycolysis, the citric-acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

Citrate synthase is an enzyme found in the mitochondrial matrix, which is involved in the citric acid cycle.

II. Ionic Equations
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Complete ionic: \begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}.

Net ionic: \begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.

Explanation:

Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:

  • Soluble salts.
  • Strong acids and strong bases.

All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: \rm AgNO_3, \rm CaCl_2, and \rm Ca(NO_3)_2. These three salts will exist as ions:

  • Each \rm AgNO_3\, (aq) formula unit will exist as one \rm Ag^{+} ion and one \rm {NO_3}^{-} ion.
  • Each \rm CaCl_2 formula unit will exist as one \rm Ca^{2+} ion and two \rm Cl^{-} ions (note the subscript in the formula \rm CaCl_2\!.)
  • Each \rm Ca(NO_3)_2 formula unit will exist as one \rm Ca^{2+} and two \rm {NO_3}^{-} ions.

On the other hand, \rm AgCl is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.

Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite \rm AgNO_3, \rm CaCl_2, and \rm Ca(NO_3)_2 (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.

Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each \rm AgNO_3\, (aq) formula unit will exist as only one \rm Ag^{+} ion and one \rm {NO_3}^{-} ion. However, because the coefficient of \rm AgNO_3\, (aq)\! in the original equation is two, \!\rm AgNO_3\, (aq) alone should correspond to two \rm Ag^{+}\! ions and two \rm {NO_3}^{-}\! ions.

Do not rewrite the salt \rm AgCl because it is insoluble.

\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}.

Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of \rm Ca^{2+} and two units of \rm {NO_3}^{-}. Doing so will give:

\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.

Simplify the coefficients:

\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.
