Chapter 6 Explain what free energy is and how it can be used to predict the energetic outcome of chemical reactions.Free energy is defined as the energy available to do work in any system. The free energy is denoted by the symbol G. G = H – TS* H: the energy contained in a molecule’s chemical bonds‚ called enthalpy.* TS: the energy term related to the degree of disorder in the system. T is the absolute temperature (K)‚ and S is the entropy.We can use the change in free energy to predict whether

because there is no reference dose of magnesium stated by the US EPA (2002) and RAIS (2011) as the copper and manganese. Table 3.2 in the Chapter 3 showed the RfD of copper and manganese. The HQ result for the copper and manganese by the soil exposure pathways is in Table 4.11 and 4.12. If HQ equal or less than 1 indicates no adverse human health effects are expected to occur and HQ more than 1 indicates likely adverse health effects to occur.(Man et al.‚ 2010). So‚ from the result in Table 4.11 and 4

The kidneys secret renin‚ which activates the angiotensin-aldosterone pathway. 3. Regulation of the pH of the blood: The kidneys excrete H+ ions (hydrogen atoms that lack their single electron)‚ into urine. At the same time‚ the kidneys also conserve bicarbonate ions

Miscanthus is a perennial‚ rhizomatous‚ giant grass that was originated from East Asia and now distributed worldwide. This subtropical plant has C4 photosynthetic pathway and can be grown in warm seasonal weather. These perennial rhizomatous grasses are promising energy crops due to their high productivity‚ low nutrient requirements‚ ecosystem services and great potential for C mitigation (Lewandowski et al.‚ 2003a;

INTRODUCTION: Badminton requires a high level of energy to quickly move around the court‚ deliver effective shots and sustain a match. Knowing how this energy is generated is crucial.All other things being equal‚ the player with more stamina will most likely win a match in baminton. This is because while good stroke skills‚ effective shot placements and fast footwork are important characteristics in a good player‚ fitness is necessary in executing and sustaining these movements for the duration of

Introduction: Each student was given unknown bacteria and was instructed to perform a variety of experimental tests that would help to identify their bacteria. During the process of identification‚ the unknown bacteria was added to many different testing medias using aseptic technique. They are as follows: lactose fermentation on eosin methylene blue (EMB)‚ TSI (Triple Sugar Iron agar)‚ Phenol
