Do the chemical bonds between atoms change during cellular respiration?

1 answer:

6 0

During cellular respiration, the carbon and hydrogen atoms change partners and bond with oxygen atoms instead. The carbon-hydrogen bonds are replaced by carbon-oxygen and hydrogen-oxygen bonds. As the electrons of these bonds "fall" toward oxygen, energy is released.

Karolina [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. For Example: In $MnO_4^-$ , manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.

So, the charge on the compound = $[=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

Consider the reaction between acetylene, c2h2, and oxygen in a welding torch: 2c2h2(g) + 5o2(g) → 4co2(g) + 2h2o(g) if 5.4 moles

fredd [130]

2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
from the reaction 2 mol 4 mol
from the problem 5.4 mol 10.8 mol

M(CO2) = 12.0 +2*16.0 = 44.0 g/mol
10.8 mol CO2 * 44.0 g CO2/1 mol CO2 = 475.2 g CO2 ≈480 = 4.8 * 10² g
Answer is C. 4.8*10² g.

Using 273.15 K as the value for Zero degree Celsius convert 45.1° C to Kelvin. 6.05 K 318 K 318.3 K 1.23 x 104 K

OLEGan [10]

Zero degree celcius = 273.15 degree kelvin

Simply, to get the value of 45.1 degree celcius in kelvin, we will add 273.15 to the given value (45.1).

Degree in kelvin = 45.1 + 273.15 = 318.25 degree kelvin

Approximating to the nearest tenth, the value will be 318.3 degree kelvin
