Answer:

D) One half of the carbon atoms of newly synthesized acetyl CoA.

Explanation:

It will be radioactively labeled because Malonyl CoA which contains 3 Carbon molecule is synthesized from Acetyl CoA which has 2 Carbon molecule.

This happens with the addition of ‘CO2’ with the help of the enzyme called acetyl CoA carboxylase.

2. Balance the equation below, and answer the following question: What volume of chlorine gas, measured at STP, is needed to com
Juliette [100K]
Balanced equation: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) ---> 2NaCl(s)

when we have STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol = 22.4 L

first, we have to convert grams to molecules using the molar mass, and then use mole to mole ratio from the balanced equation. 

molar mass of Na= 23.0 g/mol
 ratio: 2 mol Na= 1 mol Cl₂ (based on coefficients of balanced equation)

calculations:

6.25 g Na ( \frac{1 mol Na}{23.0 g} ) ( \frac{1 mol Cl_2}{2 mol Na} ) ( \frac{22.4 L}{1 mol} )= 3.04 L

What is the law of conservation?
frez [133]

Answer:In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. Exact conservation laws include conservation of energy, conservation of linear momentum, conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of electric charge. Wikipedia

Hydrogen sulfide burns form sulfur dioxide:
Helga [31]

Answer: 404.04 kJ.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of H_2S

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{26.7g}{34.1g/mol}=0.78moles

2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)    \Delta H=-1036kJ

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of H_2S on burning produces = 1036 kJ

Thus 0.78 moles of H_2S on burning produces =\frac{1036kJ}{2}\times 0.78=404.04

Thus the enthalpy change when burning 26.7 g of hydrogen sulfide is 404.04 kJ.
