Answer:

hey there !!

the mitochondrian is the cell organelle in which cellular respiration takes place and energy is produced during cellular respiration by break down of glucose in presence of oxygen to for energy units known as ATP ( adinosine tri - phosphate) molecule.

since it produces energy it is known as powerhouse of the cell.

i hope this helped.....you

Degger [83]

Multiply velocity and time and you get 0.644 km, but remember that displacement has a direction and so does velocity, so because velocity is positive in the direction that the falcon is going you have a positive displacement.

Commercially available aqueous nitric acid has a density of 1.42 g/mL and a concentration of 16 M. Calculate the mass percent of

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The mass % of HNO3 in the solution is 71.0 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Density of HNO3 = 1.42 g/mL

Concentration = 16 M = 16 mol /L

Molar mass HNO3 = 63.01 g/mol

Assume the volume = 1L or 1000 mL

Step 2: Calculate mass of the solution

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 1.42 g/mL * 1000 mL

Mass = 1420 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles HNO3

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles = 16 M * 1L

Moles = 16 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass HNO3

Mass HNO3 = moles * molar mass

Mass HNO3 = 16.0 moles * 63.01 g/mol

Mass HNO3 = 1008.16 grams

Step 5: Calculate the mass percent

mass % = (1008.16 grams / 1420 grams) *100%

mass % = 71.0 %

The mass % of HNO3 in the solution is 71.0 %

A rigid 8.77L tanks contains 1.45 moles oxygen at 20°C. what is the pressure in atm?

alexdok [17]

1) use the formula PV=nRT
2) Plug in given values: P(8.77 L)= (1.45 mol)(0.0821)(293 K)
3) isolate P: P= (1.45x.0821x293)/(8.77)
4) solve: P=3.98 atm
