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.

For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), what will happen if hydrogen gas was removed from the reaction mixture? There will be a
Hoochie [10]
This uses something called <span>Le Chatelier's principle. It states essentially that any stress put upon a system will be corrected.

In more simple terms, it means that in an equilibrium, such as the equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g), removing a reactant will cause the system to create more of said reactant to compensate for its loss, or adding excess reactant will cause the system to remove some of the added reactant. For future reference, the same principle applies to products in an equilibrium as well. 

In this case, hydrogen gas is a reactant, and hydrogen is being removed. According to </span><span>Le Chatelier's principle, the system will shift to create more hydrogen gas. In essence, it will shift in the direction of the hydrogen gas, so there will be a shift toward the reactants.

To clear something up, Keq will not change, as it is a constant value with constant conditions (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).</span>

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:which formula represents the h+ acceptor in the forward reaction?
AnnyKZ [126]
Question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.............................................................................................................................

Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)

Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct

HCO3-(aq)     +     H2O(l)      →      H2CO3(aq)     +      OH-(aq)

In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base, HCO3- is a base, while H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, this difference of readings will definitely affect the results of the experiment as well as the E values because the readings taken by both students are different from one another. There is a fault in one of the thermometer because both shows different readings of temperature of the same solution. This will affect the overall experiment and due to this error, we are unable to tell that which one reading is correct so the answer is uncertain or unsure.
