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.

Which of the following groups would be found on an alcohol molecule?

photoshop1234 [79]

I’ve answered this question before so if these are the choices to the question presented:

An oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon atom, with a hydrogen atom single-bonded to the same carbon atom. 

A hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, which is covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain. 

A carbon atom single-bonded between two other carbon atoms, with an oxygen atom double-bonded to the central carbon atom as well. 

An oxygen atom single-bonded between two carbon atoms within a carbon chain.

Then, the answer would be “a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, which is covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain.”

What is the volume of 0.640 grams of Oz gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: The volume of 0.640 grams of $O_{2}$ gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0.449 L.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of $O_{2}$ gas = 0.640 g

Pressure = 1.0 atm

Temperature = 273 K

As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

So, moles of $O_{2}$ (molar mass = 32.0 g/mol) is as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{0.640 g}{32.0 g/mol}\\= 0.02 mol$

Now, ideal gas equation is used to calculate the volume as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$PV = nRT\\1.0 atm \times V = 0.02 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 273 K\\V = 0.449 L$

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of 0.640 grams of $O_{2}$ gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0.449 L.

How many grams of lead(II) sulfate (303 g/mol) are needed to react with sodium chromate (162 g/mol) in order to produce 0.162 kg

Afina-wow [57]

Answer : The mass of $PbSO_4$ needed are, 1.515 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mole of $PbCrO_4$ .

$\text{Moles of }PbCrO_4=\frac{\text{Mass of }PbCrO_4}{\text{Molar mass of }PbCrO_4}=\frac{0.162g}{323g/mole}=0.005mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $PbSO_4$ .

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$PbSO_4+Na_2CrO_4\rightarrow PbCrO_4+Na_2SO_4[tex]From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude thatAs, 1 mole of [tex]PbCrO_4$ produced from 1 mole of $PbSO_4$

So, 0.005 mole of $PbCrO_4$ produced from 0.005 mole of $PbSO_4$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $PbSO_4$

$\text{Mass of }PbSO_4=\text{Moles of }PbSO_4\times \text{Molar mass of }PbSO_4$

$\text{Mass of }PbSO_4=0.005mole\times 303g/mole=1.515g$

Therefore, the mass of $PbSO_4$ needed are, 1.515 grams.
