What's the balanced equation for cellular respiration?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Correct answer is:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6+6O_(2)\Rightarrow 6CO_(2)+6H_(2)O+energy$

But how to get there?

Let's start with simple explanation of what exactly is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a multistage biochemical oxidation process of organic substances when prime product is energy (ATP - adenosine triphosphate) and other are released waste products. Cellular respiration takes place even if other metabolic processes are stopped, but cellular respiration may differ in particular organism groups.Some reactions during whole process of cellular respiration are similar in all types of living organisms.

Cellular respiration is prime indication of declining living processes.Only viruses which are on the edge of living organism and chemical particle are not performing cellular respiration.But to the point :P

In cellular respiration all substrates which are in the cell might be organic, but mostly we are using sugar oxidation - glucose in the presence of oxygen. Chemical formula of sugar looks like this:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6$

Oxygen is just

$O_2$

so for now we have just part of the equation:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6+O_(2)\Rightarrow$

But what would be on the right hand side?

It's quite simple, remember equation of full combustion? If we want to burn something we need oxygen like in the equation, so the product of this equation would be carbon dioxide, water and of course energy (ATP).Carbon dioxide formula looks like this:

$CO_(2)$

As a reminder water formula:

$H_(2)O$

Full formula would look like that:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6+O_(2)\Rightarrow\ CO_(2)+H_(2)O+energy$

But still as you see this equation is unbalanced, after balancing it would like that:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6+6O_(2)\Rightarrow 6CO_(2)+6H_(2)O+energy$

At the end I would like to explain one more thing. Energy which has been released during this process is part of high-energy connection which might be used to perform chemical reactions in the cell or to move organism for example in muscles. We need to remember that production of ATP is not happening with 100% efficiency and part of this energy is released as heat.

It is composed of one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms ionically bonded together, and there is a –3 charge on the phosphorus atom.

Answers

B is not the correct answer. The -3 charge is distributed over the entire ion, so the correct answer is A.

The surface temperature on Venus may approach 737 K. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius?The temperature on Mercury may drop to –265 °F at night. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius?

Answers

Answer:

i) 737 K = 463.85 °C

ii) -265 °F = -165 °C

Solution:

Converting 737 K into °C :

As we know Absolute zero (0K) is equivalent to -273. 15 °C. Hence,

K = °C + 273.15

Or,

°C = K - 273.15

Putting value of K,

°C = 737 - 273.15

°C = 463.85 °C

Converting -265 °F into °C :

As,

°F = °C × 1.8 + 32

So,

°C = °F - 32 ÷ 1.8

Putting value of °F,

°C = -265 - 32 ÷ 1.8

°C = -165 °C

To convert K to C subtract 273.15.

739K-273.15C= 465.85 C or approximately 466C

To convert F to C multiply by 1.8 and add 32.

so the answer is approximately -167 degrees celcius

Compare and contrast an electric generator and a battery??

Answers

Both generators and batteries both convert a form of energy into electrical energy. In a battery, a chemical reaction takes place which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In a generator however, many times mechanical energy is being converted into electrical energy. A process called electromagnetic induction can take place in some generator which is where an electromagnet is used to help conduct electricity. hope this helped!!!

Answers

1. B
The positive charge in water is provided by hydrogen, and gold provides the same charge. However, gold is not more reactive than hydrogen so it can not replace it in the compound.
