The amount of 0, in the primitive atmosphere was likely pretty small. However, in order for aerobic organism to develop, there must have been a source of O, for them. Water maybe? 2 H-O-H → 2 H-H + O=0 What is more energetically stable, the reactants or the product? A. Reactant mixture B. Product mixture C. Need more information to determine D. Don't know how to predict

What is the net chemical reaction associated with the Chapman cycle?
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
Explain why scientists do not use a standard set of steps for everyinvestigation they conduct.
The diagram shows a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curve for two different temperatures, T1 and T2. EA represents the activation energy. Which of the following statements is correct? a) If a catalyst were used, both curves would shift to the right of EA b) Temperature T1 is greater than temperature T2 c) The particles at temperature T1 and T2 have an equal number of collisions possessing the activation energy d)There are more collisions possessing the activation energy for temperature T2 than for for temperature T1
One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human bodyis carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversionof carbon dioxide and water with bicarbonate ionand protons. If it were not for this enzyme, the body couldnot rid itself rapidly enough of the CO2 accumulated bycell metabolism. The enzyme catalyzes the dehydration(release to air) of up to 107 CO2 molecules per second.Which components of this description correspond to theterms enzyme, substrate, and turnover number?

A vehicle airbag system works by using a series of chemical reactions. When sensors in the system detect a collision, a heat source instantly causes the decomposition of sodium azide at 300oC. This first reaction produces sodium metal and nitrogen gas. The formation of the nitrogen gas inflates the airbag, but unfortunately, the other product, sodium metal, is extremely dangerous and highly reactive. The sodium metal must undergo an immediate secondary reaction to transform into a safer substance. That’s where potassium nitrate gets involved. In the secondary reaction, sodium metal reacts with the potassium nitrate to form potassium oxide, sodium oxide, and additional nitrogen gas. This secondary generation of nitrogen gas also fills the airbag. Excess gas from the secondary reaction gets vented from e airbag. Finally, in the third and fourth reactions, the sodium oxide and potassium oxide react with silicon dioxide separately to product harmless and stable silicate glasses sodium…
A BaSO4 slurry is ingested before the gastrointestinal tract is x-rayed because it is opaque to x-rays and defines the contours of the tract. Ba2+ ion is toxic, but the compound is nearly insoluble. If ΔG° at 37°C (body temperature) is 59.1 kJ/mol for the process BaSO4(s) ⇌ Ba2+(aq) + SO42−(aq) what is the [Ba2+] in the intestinal tract? (Assume that the only source of SO42− is the ingested slurry.)
