Answer:
The two molecules of acetyl-CoA that are produced from a molecule of glucose goes through two turn in the citric acid cycle, one for each molecule of acetyl-CoA.
Explanation:
Glycolysis the process by which a molecule of glucose is broken down in a series of steps to yield two molecules of pyruvate. The overall equation for the reactions of glycolsis is given below:
Glucose + 2NAD+ ----> 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H⁺
Each of the two pyruvate molecules produced from glucose breakdown is further oxidized to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and CO₂ each.
2 Pyruvate ----> 2 AcetylCoA + 2CO₂
Each of the acetyl-CoA molecule then enters the citric acid cycle for its oxidation. In each turn of the cycle, one acetyl group enters as acetyl-CoA and two molecules of CO₂ leave.
It teacts with OH and makes water and salt
The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water is given as:
The balanced reaction is:
According to the balanced reaction,
4 g of hydrogen () reacts with 32 g of oxygen ().
So, oxygen reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is:
Hence, the mass of oxygen that is reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is 235.2 g.
