Question

Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.
1 A 10–8 M solution of HCl has a pH of 8.
2 Most of the interactions between macromolecules
could be mediated just as well by covalent bonds as by
noncovalent bonds.
3 Animals and plants use oxidation to extract energy
from food molecules.
4 If an oxidation occurs in a reaction, it must be
accompanied by a reduction.
5 Linking the energetically unfavorable reaction A
→ B to a second, favorable reaction B → C will shift the
equilibrium constant for the first reaction.
6 The criterion for whether a reaction proceeds
spontaneously is ΔG not ΔG°, because ΔG takes into
account the concentrations of the substrates and products.
7 The oxygen consumed during the oxidation of glu-
cose in animal cells is returned as CO2 to the atmosphere.
