This process is called hydrogenation. It involves the conversion of oils that are liquid into semi-solid fats. Example products that makes use of this process is the margarine and shortenings. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The number of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules that would be produced from 24 turns of the calvin cycle would be
SVEN [57.7K]
The Calvin cycle, also called the light-independent or carbon fixation reactions, is the second stage of photosynthesis where water, and carbon dioxide (CO2) from air, are converted into organic compounds (i.e. sugars) using the energy from short-lived electronically excited carriers (ATP and NADPH) for the reactions. These organic compounds can then be used by the producing organism (i.e. plants) and the animals that feed on it. 

One product of the Calvin cycle is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which is later on used in the production of glucose and in the regeneration of <span>Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), which is an organic compound</span> essential to the reactions in the cycle. 

One turn of Calvin Cycle produces 2 G3P molecules, each comprising of 3 carbons. This gives a total of 6 carbons. Five (5) of these carbons will be used to regenerate RuBP and only 1 will be available to form a surplus G3P later on. This surplus G3P will be used for the production of glucose (a 6-carbon sugar). 

Thus, 3 turns of the carbon cycle will produce 1 surplus G3P. There are 8 sets of 3-turns in 24 cycles, therefore, 

                       1 net G3P molecule * 8 sets of 3-turns  = 8 G3P molecules

Therefore, there are 8 net or surplus G3P molecules produced for 24 cycles of the Calvin Cycle. The total G3P molecules produced, including the ones that participated in the regeneration of RuBP would be 48 G3Ps. 

For every 3 turns, 6 G3P molecules are produced, 5 of which will be used in the regeneration of RuBP and 1 will be the net or surplus, to be used for the production of glucose. The 48 G3Ps then come from the calculation, 

                       6 total G3P molecules * 8 sets of 3-turns  = 48 G3P molecules


The figure below shows the products of the cycle after 3 turns (Source: https://ka-perseus-images.s3.amazonaws.com/2f4bdc8f8275834d3f5ef434d93bf16b991b2357.png).

Arrange the following oxides in order of increasing acidity.
zmey [24]

Answer:

Based on the Modern Periodic table, there is an increase in the electropositivity of the atom down the group as well as increases across a period. On comparing the electropositivities of the mentioned oxides central atom, it is seen that Ca is most electropositive followed by Al, Si, C, P, and S is the least electropositive.  

With the decrease in the electropositivity, there is an increase in the acidity of the oxides. Thus, the increasing order of the oxides from the least acidic to the most acidic is:  

CaO > Al2O3 > SiO2 > CO2 > P2O5 > SO3. Hence, CaO is the least acidic and SO3 is the most acidic.

Opal is a hydrated form of silica. If a laboratory analysis of a sample of opal reveals it to contain29.2% Si, 33.3%O, and 37.5%
ZanzabumX [31]
Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O

A K+ ion is similar to a Cl– ion in that they both have the same A) nuclear charge B) number of electrons C) atomic number D) nu
pshichka [43]

Answer:

B) number of electrons

Explanation:

The two species:

          K+   and Cl- have the same number of electrons.

A neutral atom of K has 19 electrons

A neutral atom of Cl has 17 electrons

Now,

 To form K+, K will have to lose an electron and then the number of electrons becomes 18

To form Cl-, Cl will have to gain an electrons and then the number of electrons becomes 18

So, therefore, the number of electrons on both species is 18
