Answer:

Oxygen.

Explanation:

Oxygen is a chemical element that aides in the burning of materials and it is needed for humans to breathe.

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, the intermediary products are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage through the breathing of oxygen used to obtain energy from the food ingested.

Hence, all cells in living organisms require oxygen and glucose to release energy.

For the reaction between aqueous silver nitrate and aqueous sodium chloride, write each of the following. The products of the re

Answer:

A balanced ionic equation shows the reacting ions in a chemical reaction. These equations can be used to represent what happens in precipitation reactions or displacement reactions.

Precipitation reactions

In a typical precipitation reaction, two soluble reactants form an insoluble product and a soluble product.

For example, silver nitrate solution reacts with sodium chloride solution. Insoluble solid silver chloride and sodium nitrate solution form:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

The Na+ ions and NO3- ions remain separate in the sodium nitrate solution and do not form a precipitate. Ions that remain essentially unchanged during a reaction are called spectator ions.This means these can be ignored when writing the ionic equation. Only how the solid silver chloride forms is needed to be shown:

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)

In a balanced ionic equation:

the number of positive and negative charges is the same

the numbers of atoms of each element on the left and right are the same

Displacement reactions

Displacement reactions take place when a reactive element displaces a less reactive element from one of its compounds.

A common type of displacement reaction takes place when a reactive metal reacts with the salt of a less reactive metal. For example, copper reacts with silver nitrate solution to produce silver and copper(II) nitrate solution:

2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

In this reaction, the NO3- ions remain in the solution and do not react - they are the spectator ions in this reaction. So, they can be removed from the ionic equation:

2Ag+(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)

Question

Explain why this ionic equation is balanced:

Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → BaSO4(s)

Hide answer

There are the same numbers of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The total charge on both sides is also the same (zero).

Question

Balance this ionic equation, which represents the formation of a silver carbonate precipitate:

Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s)

Hide answer

2Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s)

Question

Balance this ionic equation, which represents the displacement of iodine from iodide ions by chlorine:

Cl2(aq) + I-(aq) → I2(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Hide answer

Cl2(aq) + 2I-(aq) → I2(aq) + 2Cl-(aq

What is the mass of and object with a volume of 100 cm3 and a density of 10 g/cm3?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

1000 g

Explanation:

d = m/v

We are given d: 10g/cm3

and v: 100cm3

Plug them into the equation to get 10 = m/100

Then, cross multiply 10x100 to get mass which is: 1000g

What is the concentration of a solution that has 15.0 g NaCl dissolved to a total of 750 ml?

Oksana_A [137]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of solution is 0.342 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Mass of solute (Sodium chloride) = 15 g

Molar mass of sodium chloride = 58.5 g/mol

Volume of solution = 750 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{15g\times 1000}{58.5g/mol\times 750mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.342M$

Hence, the concentration of solution is 0.342 M

Explain what air is, where on Earth it occurs, and how it moves to create wind.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Wind is caused by differences of pressure in the Earth's atmosphere. Air from a high pressure area will move towards an area of low pressure. High winds are caused when air moves between areas with large differences in air pressure.
