Answer:

Mineral dusts are solid particles, that may become airborne depending upon their origin and the surrounding physical conditions. Lead is potential poison. It is obtained from the earth crust. The lead poisoning is a popular occupational hazard. The lead in air, when taken by the human body through respiration is responsible to cause anemia, weakness and kidney and brain damage, labored breathing and lung diseases.

Which type of chemical reaction occurs in Ca + Cl2 mc009-1.jpg CaCl2?

gregori [183]

Answer : The correct option is, (a) Synthesis

Explanation :

Synthesis reaction : A chemical reaction where multiple substances or reactants combine to form a single product.

It is represented as,

$X+Y\rightarrow XY$

Combustion reaction : A chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give product as carbon dioxide and water.

It is represented as,

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

Single replacement reaction : A chemical reaction in which the more reactive element replace the less reactive element.

It is represented as,

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

In this reaction, A is more reactive element and B is less reactive element.

Double replacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where a positive cation and a negative anion of two reactants exchange places to form two new products.

It is represented as,

$XY+AB\rightarrow XB+AY$

(X and A are the cations, Y and B are the anions)

The given reaction is, $Ca+Cl_2\rightarrow CaCl_2$

In this reaction, calcium combine with the chloride to form calcium chloride as a product.

Hence, the given type of reaction is a synthesis reaction.

During complete oxidation of the fatty acid CH3(CH2)14COOH, ________ molecules of acetyl-CoA are produced, and the fatty acid go

zimovet [89]

Answer:

During complete oxidation of the fatty acid CH3(CH2)14COOH, eight molecules of acetyl-CoA are produced, and the fatty acid goes through the β-oxidation cycle seven times.

Explanation:

In the β-oxidation of fatty acids, an acetyl-CoA molecule is removed from the fatty acid chain after every β-oxidation cycle that the fatty acid undergo, leaving behind a fatty acyl-CoA molecule shortened by two cabon atoms..

The removal of the acetyl-CoA molecule starts from the carboxyl end and shortens the fatty acid molecule by two carbon units. Successive β-oxidation cycles results in the complete oxidaton of the fatty acid molecle to acetyl -CoA molecules.

The compound CH3(CH2)14COOH, is a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid molecule known as palmitic acid.. It undergoes seven passes through the β-oxidation cycle to yield eight molecules of acetyl-CoA with each cycle yielding an acetyl-CoA molecule and a fatty acyl-CoA shortened by two carbon atoms. Finally, the seventh step yields two acetyl-CoA molecules.
