Answer:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells. It is a process in which  sugar is combined with oxygen to produce energy, water and carbon dioxide. This is the major process by which energy is released in living organisms.

Aerobic respiration involves a series of chemical reactions.  These reactions commence with sugar and oxygen then it produces  carbon dioxide and water according to the reaction equation; C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.

Answer: The equation for this Chemical reaction is:

C6H12O6 (s) + 6 O2 (g) → 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) + heat (energy)

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the site of chemical energy conversions for cell activities. In the mitochondria, sugar (chemical energy) is combined with oxygen to produce energy, water and carbon dioxide. The equation for this reaction is already given above.

All living cells need energy for the metabolic processes essential for life. They get this energy from the chemical energy stored in food (sugar).

In this process, oxygen is necessary for the chemical energy in sugar to be converted to carbondioxide, water and release of heat energy. It is therefore an oxidative reaction.

Furthermore, energy is not released in one big step as shown in the above reaction, but in a series of small steps which are catalysed by enzymes. The energy that is released, bit by bit, is stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. The oxidation of glucose to release energy in this manner is known as CELLULAR RESPIRATION. It occurs also in the mitochondria of all living cells.

A 0.105 L sample of an unknown HNO 3 solution required 35.7 mL of 0.250 M Ba ( OH ) 2 for complete neutralization. What is the c
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: 0.17M

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is :

2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 —> Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation, we obtain :

nA = mole of acid = 2

nB = mole of the base = 1

From the question, we obtain:

Va = Vol. Of acid = 0.105L

Ma = conc. Of acid =?

Vb = Vol of base = 35.7 mL = 0.0357L

Mb = conc. of base = 0.25M.

We solve for the conc. of the acid using:

MaVa / Mb Vb = nA / nB

(Ma x 0.105) / (0.25x0.0357) = 2

Cross multiply to express in linear form. We have:

Ma x 0.105 = 0.25 x 0.0357 x 2

Divide both side by 0.105. We have

Ma = (0.25 x 0.0357 x 2) / 0.105

Ma = 0.17M

Therefore the concentration of the acid(HNO3) is 0.17M

Sulfur has an atomic mass of 32 u and Avogadro's number is 6 × 1023 formula units/mole. The number of sulfur atoms in 1 g of sul
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The number of sulfur atoms in 1 g of sulfur is:- 1.875\times 10^{22} atoms

Explanation:

Avogadro’s number represent the number of the constituent particles which are present in one mole of the substance. It is named after scientist Amedeo Avogadro and is denoted by N_0.

Avogadro constant:-

N_a=6\times 10^{23}

Given atomic mass of sulfur = 32 u

Which means that:-

32 g of sulfur contains 6\times 10^{23} of atoms

Also,

1 g of sulfur contains \frac {6\times 10^{23}}{32} of atoms

<u>So, The number of sulfur atoms in 1 g of sulfur is:- 1.875\times 10^{22} atoms</u>
