Write the overall equation for the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coa. express your answer as a chemical equation.

1 answer:

5 0

the overall equation for the conversation of pyruvate to acetyl COA is as below

CH3COO-COO- + NAD+ + HS-COA = ch3-COO-S -COA +NADH +CO2

The oxidation of pyruvate led to a conversation of NAD+ to NADH and produces acetyl COA and CO2

Attached to this answer is the format of Isotope Notation that you can use for future reference. <em>(Please open)</em>

There are 8 Protons. The Atomic Number is the same number of an element's proton.

If you can see in the format, the mass number is calculated by adding the atomic number/protons and neutrons.

Mass number = 8 + 11
Mass number = 19

The image of the final answer is attached as well.

A percent composition analysis yields 46.7% nitrogen and 53.3% oxygen. What is the empirical formula for the compound

Korolek [52]

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
calculating for 100 g of compound
N O
mass 46.7 g 53.3 g
number of moles 46.7 g / 14 g/mol 53.3 g / 16 g/mol
= 3.33 = 3.33
divide by the least number of moles
3.33/ 3.33 = 1.00 3.33/3.33 = 0
number of atoms
N - 1
O - 1
therefore empirical formula is NO

To identify a diatomic gas (X2), a researcher carried out the following experiment: She weighed an empty 3.6-L bulb, then filled

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The gas was N₂

Explanation:

V = 3.6L

P = 2.0 atm

T = 24.0°C = 297K

R = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

m = 8.3g

M = molar mass = ?

Using ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

n = no. Of moles = mass / molar mass

n = m/M

PV = m/M * RT

M = mRT / PV

M = (8.3*0.0821*297) / (2.0*3.6)

M = 28.10

Since X is a diatomic molecule

M = 28.10 / 2 = 14.05 g/mol

M = Nitrogen

X = N₂
