The nutrients that the body breaks down into basic units are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. From carbohydrates comes glucose, your body's -- especially the brain's -- primary form of fuel; from fats we get glycerol and fatty acids, many of which are essential ingredients in hormones and the protective sheath in our brain that covers communicating neurons; and from proteins we get amino acids, which are the building blocks to lots of structures, including our blood, muscle, skin, organs, antibodies, hair, and fingernails.
Each of these nutrients travels down a different pathway, but all can eventually fuel the body's production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially our bodies' ultimate energy currency.
Answer:
The reaction rate is inversely proportional to the reaction time.
Explanation:
- The reaction rate is the change of the concentration of reactants and products with the time.
<em>∵ Reaction rate = - Δ[reactants]/Δt = Δ[products]/Δt.</em>
<em>∴ The reaction rate is inversely proportional to the time, as the reaction rate increases it will take a lower time.</em>
Answer: 1123000 Joules of energy are required to vaporize 13.1 kg of lead at its normal boiling point
Explanation:
Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure.
Amount of heat required to vaporize 1 mole of lead = 177.7 kJ
Molar mass of lead = 207.2 g
Mass of lead given = 1.31 kg = 1310 g (1kg=1000g)
Heat required to vaporize 207.2 of lead = 177.7 kJ
Thus Heat required to vaporize 1310 g of lead =
Thus 1123000 Joules of energy are required to vaporize 13.1 kg of lead at its normal boiling point
