In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the p

yruvate (1) loses a carbon, which is given off as a molecule of CO2, (2) is oxidized to form a two-carbon compound called acetate, and (3) is bonded to coenzyme A.

Answer:1.

Explanation: This reaction is catalyzes by pyruvate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate being the end product of glycolysis has many fates after glycolysis,one of which is to enter the TCA(Tricarboxylic acid cycle) cycle. It is first converted to actetate by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase. This enzyme converts pyruvate to acetate releasing CO2 and NADH because this oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is coupled with reduction of NAD+ which can feed into the electron transport chain.

Assuming that the bath contains 250.0 g of water and that the calorimeter itself absorbs a negligible amount of heat, calculate
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

-3272     kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given and known facts

Mass of Benzene = 0.187 grams

Mass of water = 250 grams

Standard heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g∙°C

Change in temperature ΔT = 7.48°C

Heat

=250 * 4.18 * 7.48\\=7816.6 \\=7.82

Heat released by benzine is - 7.82 kJ

Now, we know that

0.187 grams of benzene release = -7.82  kJ heat

So, 1 g benzine releases

\frac{ -7.82 }{0.187}\\= -41.8

kJ/g

0.187 * \frac{1}{78.108}=0.00239 mol C6H6

Heat released

= \frac{-7.82}{ 0.00239}

=-3272     kJ/mol

Problem 4
Hunter-Best [27]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.93 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

The chemical equation;

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) ΔH = -3120 kJ​

We are required to calculate the mass of ethane that would produce 100 kJ of heat.

  • From the equation given;
  • 2 moles of ethane burns to produce 3120 Kilo joules of heat
  • Therefore;

Number of moles that will produce 100 kJ will be;

= (2 × 100 kJ) ÷ 3120 kJ)

= 0.0641 moles

  • But, molar mass of ethane is 30.07 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass of ethane = 0.0641 moles × 30.07 g/mol

                          = 1.927 g

                          = 1.93 g

Thus, the mass of ethane that would produce 100 kJ of heat is 1.93 g
