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.

How is condensation explained by the Kinetic Molecular Theory? Cooling reduces particle motion, resulting in coalescence by attr

lara31 [8.8K]

Temperature means, in this context, movement.

Condensation can be explained by the reduction of temperature of the system. This effect make possible the cohesion forces increases. In other words, the result is coalescence by attractive forces.

In the following reaction, which substance is the precipitate? (NH4)2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NH4NO3(aq

mariarad [96]

Assuming that the reactants are:

(NH4)2SO4 (aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq)

and the products are:

BaSO4 (s) + 2NH4NO3 (aq),

then you will have to determine which product is insoluble. You should have access to solubility rules to help you determine this.

According to the solubility rules, the following elements are considered insoluble when paired with SO4:

Sr^2+, Ba^2+, Pb^2+, Ag^2+, and Ca^2+

Therefore, the precipitate will be BaSO4 (s).
