Which of the following statements about the combustion of glucose with oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide (c6h12o6 + 6 o2 → 6 co2 + 6 h2o) is correct?
(a)- the reverse reaction, making glucose from water and carbon dioxide, must be an exergonic reaction.
(b)-this is the process of cellular respiration, an anabolic pathway that releases free energy.
(c)-the free energy lost in this combustion is less than the energy that appears as heat.
(d)-the entropy of the universe decreases as the result of this reaction.
(e)-the entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.

The correct statement is:

E - The entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.

Explanation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

As glucose is a large molecule and then it is transformed into many molecules of water and carbon dioxide, the entropy of the system increases. If the number of molecules increases, the disorder increases.

Initial state: 7 molecules (1 glucose + 6 oxygen)

Final state: 12 molecules (6 carbon dioxide + 6 water)

a is the answer to this question

explanation:

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
