Answer:

Metabolism

Explanation:

This is called Metabolism.

Metabolism is a combination of spontaneous chemical reactions which release non-spontaneous energy and chemical reactions requiring energy to proceed. In order to perform cellular processes, living organisms can take energy from food, nutrients or sunlight.

Answer:

5.06 atm

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Mass of S2O = 175g

Volume (V) = 16600 mL

Temperature (T) = 195°C

Pressure (P)

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of S2O in 175g of S2O.

Mass of S2O = 175g

Molar Mass of S2O = (32x2) + 16 = 64 + 16 = 80g/mol

Number of mole of S2O =.?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of S2O = 175/80

Number of mole of S2O = 2.1875 moles

Step 3:

Conversion to appropriate units.

It is essential to always express the various variables in the right units of measurement in order to obtain the desired answer in the right units.

For volume:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 16600mL = 16600/1000 = 16.6L

For temperature:

Temperature (Kelvin) = temperature (celsius) + 273

Temperature (celsius) = 195°C

Temperature (Kelvin) = 195°C + 273 = 468K

Step 4:

Determination of the pressure.

The pressure can be obtained by the application of the ideal gas equation. This is illustrated below:

Volume (V) = 16.6L

Temperature (T) = 468K

Number of mole (n) = 2.1875 moles

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Pressure (P) =

PV = nRT

P x 16.6 = 2.1875 x 0.082 x 468

Divide both side by 16.6

P = (2.1875 x 0.082 x 468) /16.6

P = 5.06 atm

Therefore, the pressure is 5.06 atm

How do you balance redox equations in acidic solutions?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

First, balance the half-reactions

Second, equalize the electrons

Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer

Explanation:

For example

H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺

(i) Balancing the half reactions

H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻

5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O

(ii)

Equalizing the electrons

5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻ ---here there is a factor of 5

10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2

(iii)

Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out

5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O

A student heats 10.52 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate in a crucible until the compound completely decomposes to sodium carbonate

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

$m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate is:

$2NaHCO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(s)+H_2O(g)+CO_2(g)$

Thus, since there is a 2:1 mole ratio between the sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate, and the molar masses are 84.01 and 105.99 g/mol respectively, we obtain the following theoretical yield:

$m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=10.52gNaHCO_3*\frac{1molNaHCO_3}{84.01gNaHCO_3}*\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{2molNaHCO_3} *\frac{105.99gNa_2CO_3}{1molNa_2CO_3}\\\\ m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3$
