The combination of chemical reactions through which an organism builds up or breaks down materials as it carries out its life processes is called metabolism.

Its main purpose is to convert food to energy.


Explanation:

Metabolism can even confer with the add of all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, together with digestion and therefore the transport of drugs into and between totally different cells, during which case the set of reactions among the cells is named intermediator metabolism or intermediate metabolism.

The combination of chemical reactions through which organisms build up or break down materials as it carries out its life processes is called metabolism

<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>

In the body of a living creature, a chemical reaction called metabolism

This reaction can be divided into formation reactions and reaction changes/decomposition

Composition reactions are known as anabolic reactions such as body cell reactions in forming fat, protein or reactions in plant cells in forming organic substances through photosynthesis

While the decomposition reaction is catabolic. Like the decomposition of sugar by body cells into carbon dioxide gas, water, and energy. This process is better known as the process of respiration, where the energy obtained is used for the activities of living things

Respiration requires oxygen obtained during breathing and produces carbon dioxide as a residual result of respiration

The metabolic process produces residual substances that can poison the body if not removed. So that there is an excretion process that is the process of removing residual substances.

An ethylene gas torch requires 300 L of gas at 0.8 atm. What will be the pressure of the gas if ethylene is supplied by a 200.0
Vlad [161]

Answer:

1.2 atm

Explanation:

Given data

  • Volume of the gas in the tank (V₁): 200.0 L
  • Pressure of ethylene gas in the tank (P₁): ?
  • Volume of the gas in the torch (V₂): 300 L
  • Pressure of the gas in the torch (P₂): 0.8 atm

If we consider ethylene gas to be an ideal gas, we can find the pressure of ethylene gas in the tank using Boyle's law.

P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\P_1 = \frac{P_2 \times V_2}{V_1} = \frac{0.8atm \times 300L}{200.0L} = 1.2 atm

When a solution containing 1.4000 g of Ba(NO3)2 and 2.4000 g of HSO3NH2 is boiled, a precipitate forms. One possible identity fo
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

See explanation for detailed solution

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is Ba(NO3)2 + 2HSO3NH2 → Ba(SO3NH2)2 + 2HNO3

Number of moles of Ba(NO3)2 = 1.4 g/ 261.337 g/mol = 5.36 × 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Ba(NO3)2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(NO3)2 yields 5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(SO3NH2)2

For HSO3NH2

Number of moles = 2.4g/97.10 g/mol =0.0247 moles

2 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

0.0247 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 0.0247 ×1/2 = 0.0137 moles

Hence, Ba(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant

The theoretical yield of Ba(SO3NH2)2 is 5.36 × 10^-3 moles × 329.4986 g/mol = 1.766 g

b)

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass = mass/ number of moles

Molar mass = 1.6925 g/5.36 × 10^-3 moles = 315.76 g

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?
zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>

In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

A compound containing chromium, Cr; chlorine, Cl; and oxygen, O, is analyzed and found to be 33.6% chromium, 45.8% chlorine, and
Assoli18 [71]

Answer

The empirical formula is CrO₂Cl₂

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of an atom present in a compound.

The compound contain, Chromium=33.6%

                                         Chlorine=45.8%

                                          Oxygen=20.6%

And the molar mass of Chromium(Cr)=51.996 g mol.

                 Chlorine containing molar mass (Cl)= 35.45    g mol.

                 Oxygen containing molar mass (O)=15.999  g mol.

Step-1

 Then,we will get,

Cr=\frac{1}{51.996} \times33.6=0.64 mol

Cl= \frac{1}{35.45} \times45.8=1.29 mol.

O=\frac{1}{15.99} \times=1.28 mol.

Step-2

Divide the mole value with the smallest number of mole, we will get,

Cr= \frac{0.64}{0.64} =1

Cl= \frac{1.29}{0.64} =2

O= \frac{1.28}{0.64} =2

Then, the empirical formula of the compound is CrO₂Cl₂ (Chromyl chloride)
