The statement "Although sulfuric acid is a strong electrolyte, an aqueous solution of H₂SO₄ contains more HSO₄⁻ ions than SO₄²⁻ ions is <u>True.</u> This is best explained by the fact that H₂SO₄ <u>is a diprotic acid where only the first hydrogen completely ionizes.</u>

Why?

H₂SO₄ is a diprotic acid. That means that it has <u>two hydrogen ions</u> to give to the solution. The two dissociation reactions are shown below:

H₂SO₄ + H₂O → HSO₄⁻ + H₃O⁺

HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄²⁻ + H₃O⁺

As the arrows show, the first dissociation is complete, meaning that all the sulfuric acid that is present initially is dissociated into HSO₄⁻ and H₃O⁺. However, the second dissociation is incomplete, and it's actually an equilibrium with an acid constant  (Ka)of 1.2×10⁻².

That means that if the initial concentration of H₂SO₄ was 1M, the concentration of HSO₄⁻ is going to be 1M as well, but <u>the concentration of SO₄²⁻ is going to be much less than 1M</u>, according to the dissociation constant.

Have a nice day!

Calculate total ATP produced from a fatty acid of 32 carbons
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules

Explanation:

A 32 carbon fatty acid which undergoes complete beta-oxidation assuming that the fatty acid is fully saturated will pass through the beta-oxidation cycle 14 times to produce the following:

15 molecules of acetylCoA, 14 molecules of FADH₂, and 14 molecules of NADH.

Each of the 15 acetylCoA molecules can be further oxidized in the citric acid cycle to yield the following: 15 × 3 NADH; 15 × 1 FADH₂, and 15 ATP molecules from the substrate level phosphorylation occuring at the succinylCoA synthetase catalyzed-reaction.

Total FADH₂ produced = 15 + 14 = 29 molecules of FADH₂

Total NADH produced = 45 + 14 = 59 molecules of NADH

The FADH₂ and NADH will each donate a pair of electrons to the electron transfer flavoprotein and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase respectively of the electron transport chain, and about 1.5 and 2.5 molecules of ATP are generated respectively when these electrons are transfered to molecular oxygen.

Thus, number of molecules of ATP generated by 29 molecules of FADH₂ = 1.5 × 29 = 43.5 molecules of ATP.

Number of molecules of ATP generated by 59 molecules of NADH = 2.5 × 59 = 147.5

Sum of ATP generated from FADH₂ and NADH = 43.5 + 147.5 = 191 ATP molecules

Total number of ATP molecules generated = 191 + 15 = 206 ATP molecules

Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules
