NAD serves as the bulk of the oxidative processes in the citric acid cycle's initial electron acceptor.

<h3>What are electron acceptors in citric acid cycle?</h3>

In the Krebs cycle, which transfers electrons via the electron transport chain with oxygen as the final acceptor, coenzymes like FAD and NAD+ are reduced.
In a single cycle, three NADH+ and one FADH2 are produced, and when the cycle enters the electron transport chain, 10 ATP is produced.
The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is oxygen. The proton gradient in the intermembrane gap is produced by NADH molecules donating electrons that are then transmitted through a number of different proteins.

<h3>What occurs throughout the citric acid cycle?</h3>

The cycle of citric acid: In the citric acid cycle, a six-carbon citrate molecule is created when an acetyl group from acetyl CoA is joined to a four-carbon oxaloacetate molecule.

Citrate is oxidized over a number of steps, generating two molecules of carbon dioxide for each acetyl group added to the cycle.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

∆H > 0

∆Srxn <0

∆G >0

∆Suniverse <0

Explanation:

We are informed that the reaction is endothermic. An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed hence ∆H is positive at all temperatures.

Similarly, absorption of energy leads to a decrease in entropy of the reaction system. Hence the change in entropy of the reaction ∆Sreaction is negative at all temperatures.

The change in free energy for the reaction is positive at all temperatures since ∆S reaction is negative then from ∆G= ∆H - T∆S, we see that given the positive value of ∆H, ∆G must always return a positive value at all temperatures.

Since entropy of the surrounding= - ∆H/T, given that ∆H is positive, ∆S surrounding will be negative at all temperatures. This is so because an endothermic reaction causes the surrounding to cool down.

The mass of sodium chloride in (g) is 14.19 The volume of ammonia solution in (mL) is 36.15 Calculate the following: What is the

Svetach [21]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

A weighed amount of sodium chloride is completely dissolved in a measured volume of 4.00 M ammonia solution at ice temperature, and carbon dioxide is bubbled in. Assume that sodium bicarbonate is formed util the limiting reagent is entirely used up. the solubility of sodium bicarbonate in water at ice temperature is 0.75 mol per liter. Also assume that all the sodium bicarbonate precipitated is collected and converted quantitatively to sodium carbonate.

Data to be used for calculating the results

-The mass of sodium chloride in (g) is 14.19

-The volume of ammonia solution in (mL) is 36.15

Calculate the following: What is the theoretical yield of sodium bicarbonate in grams?

Answer : The theoretical yield of sodium bicarbonate in grams is, 20.4 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of NaCl and $NH_3$ .

$\text{ Moles of }NaCl=\frac{\text{ Mass of }NaCl}{\text{ Molar mass of }NaCl}=\frac{14.19g}{58.5g/mole}=0.243moles$

$\text{ Moles of }NH_3=\text{ Concentration of }NH_3\times \text{ Volume of solution}=4.00M\times 0.3615L=1.446moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$NH_3+NaCl+CO_2+H_2O\rightarrow NaHCO_3+NH_4Cl$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $NaCl$ react with 1 mole of $NH_3$

So, 0.243 mole of $NaCl$ react with 0.243 mole of $NH_3$

From this we conclude that, $NH_3$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $NaCl$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NaHCO_3$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $NaCl$ react to give 1 mole of $NaHCO_3$

So, 0.243 moles of $NaCl$ react to give 0.243 moles of $NaHCO_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaHCO_3$

$\text{ Mass of }NaHCO_3=\text{ Moles of }NaHCO_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaHCO_3$

Molar mass of sodium bicarbonate = 84 g/mol

$\text{ Mass of }NaHCO_3=(0.243moles)\times (84g/mole)=20.4g$

Thus, the theoretical yield of sodium bicarbonate in grams is, 20.4 grams.
