How many atp molecules can be produced when a six carbon fatty acid is completely oxidized through the fatty acid spiral?

Chemistry

Karolina [17]4 years ago
7 0
The simplified formula for the determination of the number of ATP molecules produced from fat oxidation is:
5(n-1) + 12n - 2

This formula is derived using the amount of energy produced using each turn of the Kerb's cycle, which has two-carbon units fed to it via beta oxidation (also referred to as the fatty acid spiral). 
In order to use this formula, we require the value of n. n is the number of two-carbon units that the fatty acid molecule will produce. This means:

n = 6 / 2 = 3
Using n = 3

5(3 - 1) + 12(3) - 2

44 ATP molecules

The molar enthalpy of vaporization of boron tribromide is 30.5 kj/mol, and its normal boiling point is 91°c. what is the vapor p
adell [148]
To answer this question, we will use the following equation:
<span>ln(P2/P1) = (∆Hvap/R)*((1/T1) - (1/T2)) 
</span>
Now we examine the givens of the problem and transform to standard units if required:
<span>∆Hvap = 30.5 kJ/mol 
</span>R is a constant = <span>8.314 x 10^-3 kJ K^-1 mol^-1 
T1 </span><span>= 91 celcius = 91 + 273= 364 Kelvin
</span>T2 = 20 celcius = 20 + 273 = 293 k3lvin
P1 is the standard atmospheric pressure = 760 mmHg
P2 is the value to be calculated

Substitute with these values in the equation:
ln(P2/760) = (30.5 / 8.314 x 10^-3) x ((1 / 364) - (1 / 293)) 
ln(P2/760) = - 2.4662 (Take the exponential both sides to eliminate the ln)
P2 / 760 = e^(-2.4462) = 0.0866
P2 = 0.0866 x 760 = 65.816 mmHg

Determine the final concentration when 250mL of 3M solution is dilluted to a final volume of 850mL. (Enter Number)​
LenKa [72]

Answer:

M₂ = 0.9 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial Volume = V₁ = 250 mL

Initial molarity = M₁= 3 M

Final volume = 850 mL

Final molarity = ?

Solution:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

M₂ = M₁V₁ /V₂

M₂ = 3 M × 250 mL / 850 mL

M₂ = 750 M / 850

M₂ = 0.9 M
