What are mitochondria, and why are they an important part of cells?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nikdorinn [45]3 years ago
4 0
Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. They help turn the energy we take from food into energy that the cell can use. But, there is more to mitochondria than energy production. Present in nearly all types of human cell, mitochondria are vital to our survival.

Which option is an example of a chemical property?
Alona [7]
Answer:
The ability to decompose
Explanation:
A property is a chemical property when it changes the chemical structure of a substance after a reaction.
Density and color are both physical properties.
Even though melting point may seem like a chemical property, when something melts, only the physical state changes, and the chemical structure does not change, and therefore, is a physical property.
The ability to decompose is a chemical property. When something decomposes, the chemical structure of many molecules change, and therefore, is classified as a chemical property.

An organic solvent has a density of 1.31g/ml. What volume is occupied by 50.0g of the liquid?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

             38.16 mL

Solution:

Data Given;

                   Density  =  1.31 g/mL

                   Mass  =  50 g  

                   Volume  =  ?

Formula Used;

                   Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Volume,

                   Volume  =  Mass ÷ Density  

Putting values,

                   Volume  =  50 g ÷ 1.31 g.mL⁻¹

                   Volume =  38.16 mL

How many kj of heat are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of h2o, given that the water is at its melting point? the heat of fusio
timurjin [86]

Answer: fourth option, 10.8 kJ


Explanation:


The <em>heat of fusion</em>, also named latent heat of fusion, is the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid (at constant pressure).


The data of the <em>heat of fusions</em> of the substances are reported in tables and they can be shown either per mole or per gram of substance.


In this case we have that the<em> heat of fusion for water </em>is reported per mole: <em>6.02 kJ/mole</em>.


The formula to calculate <em>how many kJ of heat (total heat) are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of water, given that the water is at its melting point</em> is:

  • Heat = number of moles × heat of fusion

The calculations are:

  • number of moles = mass / molar mass

        number of moles = 32.3 g / 18.015 g/mol = 1.79 mol

       

  • Heat = 1.79 mol × 6.02 kJ / mol = 10.8 kJ ← answer

2N2H4+ N2O4———3N2+4H2O SalmaKhan99 avatar How many grams of N2 gas will be formed by reacting 100g of N2H4 and 200g of N2 Kindly
Alona [7]

Answer:

131.26 g

Explanation:

From the balanced equation,

2 moles of N₂H₄reacts with 1 mole of N₂O₄ to give 3 moles of N₂

Now number of moles of N₂H₄ present in 100 g N₂H₄ is n = 100 g/molar mass N₂H₄.

Molar mass N₂H₄ = 2 × 14.01 g/mol + 1 × 4 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol + 4 g/mol = 32.02 g/mol

n₁ = 100/32.02 = 3.123 mol

Also

Now number of moles of N₂O₄ present in 200 g N₂O₄ is n = 200 g/molar mass N₂O₄.

Molar mass N₂O₄ = 2 × 14.01 g/mol + 16 × 4 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol + 64 g/mol = 92.02 g/mol

n₂ = 200/92.02 = 2.173 mol

Since the mole ratio of N₂H₄  to N₂O₄ is 2 : 1, We require 2 × 2.173 mol N₂H₄  to react with 2.173 mole N₂O₄  

Number of moles of N₂H₄ required is 4.346. But the number of moles of N₂H₄  present is 3.123 so N₂H₄  is the limiting reagent.

So, from the equation, 2 moles of N₂H₄ produces 3 moles of N₂

Therefore number of mole N₂ = 3/2 moles of N₂H₄ = 3/2 × 3.123 mol = 4.6845 mol

From n = m/M where n = number of moles of nitrogen gas = 4.6845 mol and M = molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.02 g/mol and m = mass of nitogen gas.

m = nM = 4.6845 mol × 28.02 g/mol = 131.26 g

So the mas of nitrogen gas produced is 131.26 g
