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

What is the value for the reaction: N2(g) + 2 O2(g) --> N2O4(g) in terms of K values from the reactions:

Valentin [98]

Answer : The correct expression will be:

$K=(K_1)^2\times K_2$

Explanation :

The chemical reactions are :

(1) $\frac{1}{2}N_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)$ $K_1$

(2) $2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2O_4(g)$ $K_2$

The final chemical reaction is :

$N_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2O_4$ $K=?$

Now we have to calculate the value of $K$ for the final reaction.

Now equation 1 is multiply by 2 and then add both the reaction we get the value of 'K'.

If the equation is multiplied by a factor of '2', the equilibrium constant will be the square of the equilibrium constant of initial reaction.

If the two equations are added then equilibrium constant will be multiplied.

Thus, the value of 'K' will be:

$K=(K_1)^2\times K_2$

Calcium atoms have 20 protons, but tend to form ions with a 2+ charge. How

scoray [572]

Answer: With atomic number 20, calcium atoms have 20 positive protons, and the ion has only 18 electrons, which means the net charge is +2. Calcium ions are essential for muscle contractions, nerve impulses, and bone maintenance.

Brut [27]

A) -0.5(9.8)*t^2 = -25(t-2) - 0.5(9.8)(t-2)^2
-4.9t^2 = -25t + 50 - 4.9(t^2-4t+4)
0 = -25t+50+19.6t - 19.6
5.4t = 30.4
t = 5.62962963 s

b) h = -4.9(5.62962963)^2
h = -155.2943759
the building is 155.2943759 m high
