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.

What mass of ammonia can be produced if 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacted ?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 13.4 grams

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

Step 3: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = Mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 13.4 grams / 28.00 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.479 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.479 moles N2 we'll produce 2*0.479 = 0.958 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of NH3

Mass of NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 0.958 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 16.3 grams

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia
