Identify the statements that accurately describe how hydrogen ion concentration relates to energy production in oxidative phosph
orylation. The pH in the intermembrane space is higher than the pH in the mitochondrial matrix. Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain. Hydrogen ions are actively transported out of the mitochondrial matrix. Hydrogen ion concentration is higher in the intermembrane space than in the mitochondrial matrix. Energy is generated as a result of the difference in hydrogen ion concentration between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytoplasm.
If the chlorine already gained an electron(it has become stable), the sodium will not form a compound with chlorine unless it is sodium that gives chlorine the electron. Only then will they form a compound of NaCl.
