Answer:

A kind of chemical reaction in which a single compound dissociates into two or more elements or novel compounds is known as a decomposition reaction. These reactions usually comprise a source of energy like light, heat, or electricity, which dissociates the bonds of compounds. The reaction can be demonstrated by the general equation, that is, AB = A + B. The example of a decomposition reaction is the dissociation of water into oxygen and hydrogen.

Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system,
defon

Answer:

C: The surroundings heat up and the system decreases in volume.

D: The surroundings heat up and the system does not change volume.

B: The surroundings heat up and the system expands in volume.

A: The surroundings get cold and the system decreases in volume.

Explanation:

The most exothermic reactions are those that release heat, that is to say, they give up the heat as it cools and the surroundings heat up.

As for endothermics, that is, those that absorb or capture the heat of the medium, they are variables that cool the environment that surrounds them and increase their internal temperature

(15 points). The oxidation of glucose provides the principal energy source for animal cells. The reactants are glucose [C6H12O6(
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The balanced reaction

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) = 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Standard heat of reaction

Hrxn = 6*Hf(CO2) + 6*Hf(H2O) - 6*Hf(O2) - Hf(C6H12O6)

= 6*(-393.5) + 6*(-285.8) - 6*(0) - (-1274.4)

= - 2801.4 kJ/mol

Part b

Energy consumed by a person = 150 kJ/kg x 57 kg = 8550 kJ

Moles of glucose required = 8550 kJ / (2801.4 kJ/mol)

= 3.052 mol

Mass of glucose required = moles x molecular weight

= 3.052 mol x 180.156 g/mol

= 549.84 g

Part c

1 person requires = 3.052 mol

275 million person require = 275*10^6*3.052 = 8.39 x 10^8 mol

From the stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mol glucose produces = 6 mol CO2

8.39 x 10^8 mol glucose produces = 6*8.39*10^8

= 5.036 x 10^9 mol CO2

Mass of CO2 produced = moles x molecular weight

= 5.036 x 10^9 mol x 44 g/mol

= 2.22 x 10^11 g x 1kg/1000g

= 2.22 x 10^8 kg x 1million/10^6

= 222 million kg
