What type of reaction is used in calorimetry?
It's a combustion reaction.
What type of chemical reaction occurs when a disposable lighter is used?
What is the chemical reaction of a dispoiable lighter
What are catalysts used to convert?
They are used to, with an unexpected degree of efficiency, catalyze a specific chemical reaction. This means maximizing harmless and useful chemical-reaction products while minimizing the [inevitable] wasteful and useless byproducts of the chemical reaction.
What general type of reaction is used to build macromolecules?
dehydration
What general type of reaction is used to break macromolecules down?
Hydrolysis
What process is used to convert polyunsaturated oils into saturated fats?
olive and canola oils are examples of saturated fats
What type of reaction can be used to coat a metal?
The reaction type is called oxidation-reduction, used in electroplating.

What is platen superheater?
it is a low pressure heater used in the boiler system in the thermal power plants to convert the saturated steam into super heated steam.

What are producing more ATP in between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?
In saturated fatty acid oxidation, the first step is a dehydrogenase reaction. This yields a trans double bond on carbons 2 and 3 from the CoA end. A product of the reaction is FADH2 which can be used to make ATP. In oxidation of an unsaturated fatty acid, the double bond is not recognized by the dehydrogenase reaction therefore you have to use a secondary isomeration reaction to produce the same product as you did in saturated fatty acid oxidation. This skips the effective "first step" and does not produce FADH2 meaning less ATP is produce.
