Chapter 27, Problem 27.51P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The process of contraction of muscles is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The full form of ATP is adenosine triphosphate which contains three phosphate groups. The energy in human beings is stored as ATP.

ATP is synthesized in mitochondria (called power house of the cell) by oxidative phosphorylation. It acts as a source of energy to carry out the biological process.

The hydrolysis of ATP results in the formation of the chemical energy. This energy is further converted into other forms of energy.

The muscles are responsible for the body movements. The myosin and actin are the repeating units of the skeletal muscle. These filaments are responsible for the contraction of the muscles.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The source of energy used in muscle contraction is to be stated.

2. Platinum and other group 10 metals often act as solid phase hydrogenation catalysts for unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene, CH3CHCH2. In order for the reaction to be catalyzed the propylene molecules must first adsorb onto the surface. In order to completely cover the surface of a piece of platinum that has an area of 1.50 cm² with propylene, a total of 3.45 x 10¹7 molecules are needed. Determine the mass of the propylene molecules that have been absorbed onto the platinum surface.
Chem 141, Dr. Haefner 2. (a) Many main group oxides form acidic solutions when added to water. For example solid tetraphosphorous decaoxide reacts with water to produce phosphoric acid. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) Calcium phosphate reacts with silicon dioxide and carbon graphite at elevated temperatures to produce white phosphorous (P4) as a gas along with calcium silicate (Silcate ion is SiO3²-) and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
Problem Set 4a Chem 1411. A latex balloon is filled with a total of carbon dioxide gas so that its volume reaches 1.352 L. The balloon whose weight was originally 0.753 g, now weighs 2.538 g. How many molecules of carbon dioxide have been added to the balloon?
