During strenuous exercise, the NADH formed in the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction in skeletal muscle must be r

eoxidized to NAD+ if glycolysis is to continue. The most important reaction involved in the reoxidation of NADH is:
A) dihydroxyacetone phosphate → glycerol 3-phosphate
B) glucose 6-phosphate → fructose 6-phosphate
C) isocitrate → α-ketoglutarate
D) oxaloacetate → malate
E) pyruvate → lactate

Answer:

The answer is pyruvate → lactate

Explanation:

In the reaction of glycolysis, glucose breaks down to form pyruvate yielding ATP and NADH.

Under or during strenuous exercise, which is an anaerobic condition, lactate is formed by the reoxidization of NADH and the conversion of pyruvate to lactate.

Consider the generic reaction: 2 A(g) + B(g) → 2 C(g). If a flask initially contains 1.0 atm of A and 1.0 atm of B, what is the

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

b. 1.5 atm.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction suggests that two moles of A react with one moles of B to produce two moles of C, for the final pressure we can write:

$P=P_A+P_B+P_C$

Now, if we introduce the stoichiometry, and the change in the pressure $x$ we can write:

$P=1.0-2x+1.0-x+2x$

Nevertheless, since the reaction goes to completion, all A is consumed and there is a leftover of B, and that consumed A is:

$x=\frac{1.0atm}{2}=0.5atm$

Thus, the final pressure is:

$P=1.0-2(0.5)+1.0-(0.5)+2(0.5)\\\\P=1.5atm$

Therefore the answer is b. 1.5 atm.

Best regards!

Use the given data at 500 K to calculate ΔG°for the reaction

Anton [14]

Answer : The value of $\Delta G^o$ for the reaction is -959.1 kJ

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)$

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction $(\Delta H^o)$ .

$\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta H^o=[n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2O)}+n_{SO_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(SO_2)}]-[n_{H_2S}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2S)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}]$

where,

$\Delta H^o$ = enthalpy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_f^0$ = standard enthalpy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta H^o=[2mole\times (-242kJ/mol)+2mole\times (-296.8kJ/mol)}]-[2mole\times (-21kJ/mol)+3mole\times (0kJ/mol)]$

$\Delta H^o=-1035.6kJ=-1035600J$

conversion used : (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now we have to calculate the entropy of reaction $(\Delta S^o)$ .

$\Delta S^o=S_f_{product}-S_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta S^o=[n_{H_2O}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(H_2O)}+n_{SO_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(SO_2)}]-[n_{H_2S}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(H_2S)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(O_2)}]$

where,

$\Delta S^o$ = entropy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta S_f^0$ = standard entropy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta S^o=[2mole\times (189J/K.mol)+2mole\times (248J/K.mol)}]-[2mole\times (206J/K.mol)+3mole\times (205J/K.mol)]$

$\Delta S^o=-153J/K$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

As we know that,

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o-T\Delta S^o$

At room temperature, the temperature is 500 K.

$\Delta G^o=(-1035600J)-(500K\times -153J/K)$

$\Delta G^o=-959100J=-959.1kJ$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G^o$ for the reaction is -959.1 kJ

A complex ion that forms in solution has a structure that:____.

xeze [42]

Answer:

can only be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

In the early days of inorganic chemistry, the structure of complex ions remained a mystery hence the name ''complex''.

These ions appear to have structures that defied accurate elucidation. However, by diligent laboratory investigation, Alfred Werner was able to accurately determine the structure of cobalt complexes. As a result of this, he is regarded as a pathfinder in coordination chemistry.

Hence, the structure of complex ions can only be determined experimentally.
