Answer:

The total number of atoms when glucose and oxygen reacts stays the same when carbondioxide and water are produced.

Explanation:

Chemical reaction:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

We can see that the number of atoms of each element remain same on both side of reaction so law of conservation of mass is followed by this reaction. Six number of carbon atoms twelve number of hydrogen atoms and eighteen number of oxygen atoms are present on both side.

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Calculate the cell potential at 25oC under the following nonstandard conditions: 2MnO4-(aq) + 3Cu(s) + 8H+(aq) ⟶ 2MnO2(s) + 3Cu2

baherus [9]

Answer:

1.346 v

Explanation:

1) Fist of all we need to calculate the standard cell potential, one should look up the reduction potentials for the species envolved:

(oxidation) $Cu_{(s)}$ → $Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} +2e$ E°=0.337 v

(reduction) $MnO_{4 (aq)} + 3e + 4H^{+}_{(aq)}$ → $MnO_{2 (aq)}+2H_{2}O$ E°=1.679 v

(overall) $2MnO_{4 (aq)}+3Cu_{(s)}$ +8H^{+}_{(aq)}→ $3Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}+2MnO_{2 (aq)}+4H_{2}O$ E°=1.342 v

2) Nernst Equation

Knowing the standard potential, one calculates the nonstandard potential using the Nernst Equation:

$E=E^{0} -\frac{RT}{nF}Ln\frac{[red]}{[ox]}$

Where 'R' is the molar gas constant, 'T' is the kelvin temperature, 'n' is the number of electrons involved in the reaction and 'F' is the faraday constant.

The problem gives the [red]=0.66M and [ox]=1.69M, just apply to the Nernst Equation to give

$E=1.342 -\frac{298.15*8.314}{6*96500}Ln\frac{[.66]}{[1.69]}=1.346$

E=1.346

A cup of coffee has 71 mL of coffee and 127 mL of water. What is the percent volume of the coffee solution?

Anna [14]

Answer:

35.9%

Explanation:

The percent volume of the coffee solution can be calculated as follows:

% volume of coffee solution = volume of coffee/total volume of coffee solution × 100

According to this question, a cup of coffee has 71 mL of coffee and 127 mL of water. This means that, the total volume of coffee solution is;

71mL + 127mL = 198mL

% volume = 71/198 × 100

= 0.359 × 100

Percent volume of coffee solution = 35.9%
