Both the esophagus and the small intestine are involved in the digestion of food. The esophagus squeezes food into the stomach b

y wave-like muscle contractions. Peptidase enzymes in the small intestine break food molecules into smaller molecules.
Which statement best describes changes to food during digestion?

A. The muscle contractions result in physical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in chemical changes.

B. The muscle contractions result in chemical changes, while the peptidase results in physical changes.

C. The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in physical changes.

D. The muscle contractions and the action in the peptidase both result only in chemical changes.

Answer:

The answer is: A

Explanation:

The wave-like contractions are to be considered a physical change as they do not take part in the breaking-down of the food. The peptidase is a chemical change because it is used to chemically break down the food to retrieve nutrients and such.

Which energy profile best shows that the enthalpy of formation of CS2 is 89.4 KJ/mol?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Option C. Energy Profile D

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Enthalpy change ΔH = 89.4 KJ/mol.

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is simply defined as the difference between the heat of product (Hp) and the heat of reactant (Hr). Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Enthalpy change (ΔH) = Heat of product (Hp) – Heat of reactant (Hr)

ΔH = Hp – Hr

Note: If the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive, it means that the product has a higher heat content than the reactant.

If the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative, it means that the reactant has a higher heat content than the product.

Now, considering the question given, the enthalpy change (ΔH) is 89.4 KJ/mol and it is a positive number indicating that the heat content of the product is higher than the heat content of the reactant.

Therefore, Energy Profile D satisfy the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the formation of CS2 as it indicates that the heat content of product is higher than the heat content of the reactant.
