Suppose NAD is unavailable because NADH cannot be oxidized due to a mutation in the NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I). If FAD could

substitute for all NAD , how would this affect the total ATP produced by the complete oxidation of glucose

Answer:

FAD substitution will produce 28 ATP instead of 36.

Explanation:

NAD and FAD are coenzymes involved in reversible oxidation and reduction reactions. These compounds are also known as electron carriers. However NADH produce 3 electrons in electron transport chain and FADH2 produce 2 electron beacuase it transfer the electrons to second complex in ETC.

Normal prduction of ATP from glucose;

2 cytoplasmic NADH formed in glycolysis         Each yields 2 ATP   +4

2 NADH formed in the oxidation of pyruvate Each yields 3 ATP         +6

2 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle         Each yields 2 ATP         +4

6 NADH formed in the citric acid cycle             Each yields 3 ATP         +18

2 ATP from glycolysis                                                                                   +2  

2 ATP from citric acid cycle                                                                          +2                            

                                                                    Net yield ATP +36

C6H12O6 + 6 CO2 + 36 ADP + 36 Pi ⇒6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 36 ATP

If we replace the NAD with FAD the total ATP production would be.

2 cytoplasmic FADH2 formed in glycolysis          Each yields 2 ATP            +4

2 FADH2 formed in the oxidation of pyruvate   Each yields 3 ATP    +4

2 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle            Each yields 2 ATP    +4

6 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle                  Each yields 2 ATP   +12

2 ATP from glycolysis                                                                                    

+2

2 ATP from citric acid cycle                                                                            +2

                                                                  <u>Net yield ATP +28</u>

C6H12O6 + 6 CO2 + 28ADP + 28 Pi ⇒6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 28 ATP

GIVING BRAINLIEST One mole of hydrogen gas (H2), reacts with one mole of bromine Br2(g) to produce 2 moles of hydrogen bromide g
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements, with all substances in their standard states.

Given, that 1 mole of H_2 gas and 1 mole of Br_2 liquid gives 2 moles of HBr gas as a product.The reaction releases 72.58 kJ of heat.

H_2(g) + Br_2(l)\rightarrow 2HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -72.58kJ

Divide the equation by 2.

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

Complete combustion of 5.90 g of a hydrocarbon produced 18.8 g of CO2 and 6.75 g of H2O.
Inessa05 [86]
First we have to find moles of C:
Molar mass of CO2:
12*1+16*2 = 44g/mol
(18.8 g CO2) / (44.00964 g CO2/mol) x (1 mol C/ 1 mol CO2) =0.427 mol C 
Molar mass of H2O:
2*1+16 = 18g/mol
As there is 2 moles of H in H2O,
So,

<span>(6.75 g H2O) / (18.01532 g H2O/mol) x (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O) = 0.74mol H </span>

<span>Divide both number of moles by the smaller number of moles: </span>
<span>As Smaaler no moles is 0.427:
So,
Dividing both number os moles by 0.427 :
(0.427 mol C) / 0.427 = 1.000 </span>
<span>(0.74 mol H) / 0.427 = 1.733 </span>

<span>To achieve integer coefficients, multiply by 2, then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula: 
C = 1 * 2 = 2
H = 1.733 * 2 =3.466
So , the empirical formula is C2H3</span>
