Answer:
c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.
Explanation:
Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.
Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.
Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L solution.
Molarity of Na₂SO₄ solution - 0.200 M
this means there are 0.200 moles in 1 L solution
Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ - 142 g/mol
therefore mass of Na₂SO₄ in 1.00 L - 0.200 mol x 142 g/mol = 28.4 g
a mass of 28.4 g of Na₂SO₄ is present in 1.00 L
Answer:
B. CaCl + LiCO3 yields CaCO3 + LiCl is not correct
It should be CaCl2 + Li2CO3 → 2LiCl + CaCO3
Explanation:
For a reaction to be double displacement reaction there are two things we need to look for
1) There must be an interchange of the group of ions
2) The reactants must dissolve in water to release ions
A. 2RbNO3 + BeF2 yields Be(NO3)2 + 2RbF
2Rb+ + NO3- + Be^2+ + 2F- → Be(NO₃)₂ + 2RbF
This is correct
B. CaCl + LiCO3 yields CaCO3 + LiCl
This is not correct
The correct equation is:
CaCl2 + Li2CO3 → Ca2+ + 2Cl- + 2Li+ + CO3^2- → 2LiCl + CaCO3
C. Na3PO4 + 3KOH yields 3NaOH + K3PO4
3Na+ + PO4^3- + 3K+ + 3OH- → 3NaOH + K3PO4
This is correct
D. 2MgI2 + Mn(SO3)2 yields 2MgSO3 + MnI4
2Mg^2+ + 4I- + Mn^4+ + 2SO3^2- → 2 MgSO3 + MnI4
This is correct
