Answer:

1.88x10^{22}molecules (CH_3)_2Hg

Explanation:

Hello,

Dimethylmercury: (CH_3)_2Hg has a molecular mass of:

M_{(CH_3)_2Hg}=12*2+1*6+200.59=230.6g/mol

Now, the following mass-mole relationship including the Avogadro's number allows us to compute the requested molecules as follows:

7.20g(CH_3)_2Hg*\frac{1mol(CH_3)_2Hg}{230.6g(CH_3)_2Hg} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}molecules (CH_3)_2Hg}{1mol(CH_3)_2Hg} =1.88x10^{22}molecules (CH_3)_2Hg

Best regards.

The formula for dimethyl mercury is. HgC2H6 = (2x12) + (6x1) + (1x200.6) = 230.6 
So the molar mass of dimethyl mercury is 230.6 g/mol. 
Number of moles in 4.2g of dimethymercury = 4.2/ 230.6 = 0.0182 moles.  
1 moles of dimethymercury contains 6.02 * 10^23 
Hence 0.0182 moles contains X 
X = 0.0182 * 6.02 * 10^23 = 0.10952 * 10^23 = 1.0952 * 10^22.

Carbons from acetyl CoA are transferred to the citric acid cycle. Which is the first round of the citric acid cycle that could p
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

In the third step of the citric acid cycle, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released.

Explanation:

In the first step of citric acid cycle, acetylCoA combines with a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon molecule, citrate.

In the second step, the citrate in the presence of enzyme anicotase is converted into isocitrate.

<u>In the third step, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released leaving behind one five-carbon molecule called as α-ketoglutarate. During this step, NAD⁺ is reduced to form NADH. </u>

<u>This is first round of the citric acid cycle that could possibly release a carbon atom originating from this acetyl CoA.</u>

On series of reaction, another carbon dioxide molecule also being relased and oxaloacetate is regenerated again.

A gas has a volume of 5.0 L at a pressure of 50 KPa. What happens to the volume when the pressure is increased to 125?
Alexeev081 [22]
The volume becomes two. You have to use the equation P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 
P is pressure and V is volume.
P1 = 50     P2 = 125
V1 = 5       V2 = v (we don't know what it is)
Then set up the equation:
50 times 5 = 125 times v
250 = 125v
the divide both sides by 125 and isolate v
2 = v
Therefore the volume is decreased to 2.
Also, Boyle's Law explains this too: Volume and pressure are inversely related, This means that when one goes up the other goes down (ie when pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa). Becuase the pressure went up from 50 KPa tp 125 KPa the volume had to decrease.
