Answer:
Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules
Explanation:
A 32 carbon fatty acid which undergoes complete beta-oxidation assuming that the fatty acid is fully saturated will pass through the beta-oxidation cycle 14 times to produce the following:
15 molecules of acetylCoA, 14 molecules of FADH₂, and 14 molecules of NADH.
Each of the 15 acetylCoA molecules can be further oxidized in the citric acid cycle to yield the following: 15 × 3 NADH; 15 × 1 FADH₂, and 15 ATP molecules from the substrate level phosphorylation occuring at the succinylCoA synthetase catalyzed-reaction.
Total FADH₂ produced = 15 + 14 = 29 molecules of FADH₂
Total NADH produced = 45 + 14 = 59 molecules of NADH
The FADH₂ and NADH will each donate a pair of electrons to the electron transfer flavoprotein and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase respectively of the electron transport chain, and about 1.5 and 2.5 molecules of ATP are generated respectively when these electrons are transfered to molecular oxygen.
Thus, number of molecules of ATP generated by 29 molecules of FADH₂ = 1.5 × 29 = 43.5 molecules of ATP.
Number of molecules of ATP generated by 59 molecules of NADH = 2.5 × 59 = 147.5
Sum of ATP generated from FADH₂ and NADH = 43.5 + 147.5 = 191 ATP molecules
Total number of ATP molecules generated = 191 + 15 = 206 ATP molecules
Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules
Answer:
128g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of carbon = 48g
Mass of carbon dioxide = 176g
Unknown:
Mass of oxygen that reacted = ?
Solution:
Every chemical reaction must obey the law of conservation of mass. It states that "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed" .
So;
Mass of carbon + Mass of oxygen = Mass of carbon dioxide
Mass of oxygen = Mass of carbon dioxide - Mass of carbon
Mass of oxygen = 176 - 48 = 128g
Answer:
a. Methanol remains the same
b. Methanol decreases
c. Methanol increases
d. Methanol remains the same
e. Methanol increases
Explanation:
Methanol is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst as follows; 2H2+CO→CH3OH.
a) The presence or absence of a catalyst makes no difference on the equilibrium position of the system hence the methanol remains constant.
b) The amount of methanol decreases because the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and more reactants are formed since the reaction is exothermic.
c) If the volume is decreased, there will be more methanol in the system because the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
d) Addition of helium gas has no effect on the equilibrium position since it does not participate in the reaction system.
e) if more CO is added the amount of methanol increases since the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
Answer:
Molecular formula = C20H30
Explanation:
NB 440mg = 0.44g, 135mg= 0.135g
From the question, moles of CO2= 0.44/44= 0.01mol
Since 1 mol of CO2 contains 1mol of C, it implies mol of C = 0.01
Also from the question, moles of H2O = 0.135/18= 0.0075mole
Since 1 mol of H2O contains 2mol of H, it implies mol of H = 0.0075×2= 0.015 mol of H
To get the empirical formula, divide by smallest number of mole
Mol of C = 0.01/0.01=1
Mol of H = 0.015/0.01= 1.5
Multiply both by 2 to obtain a whole number
Mol of C =1×2 = 2
Mol of H= 1.5×2 = 3
Empirical formula= C2H3
[C2H3] not = 270
[ (2×12) + 3]n = 270
27n = 270
n=10
Molecular formula= [C2H3]10= C20H30
During nuclear fission, great amounts of energy are produced from____.
Answer: Out of all the options presented above, the one that completes the statement and makes it true, is answer choice D) very small amounts of mass. Nuclear fission power does not produce carbon and also produces 12% of the world's power.
I hope it helps, Regards.
