Answer:

acetyl-CoA.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are broken down into acetyl-CoA by the process of beta-oxidation inside the mitochondrial matrix part of the powerhouse of the cell. Whereas fatty acids are synthesized from acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria.

Then acetyl-CoA which is produced by beta-oxidation enters the citric acid cycle in the mitochondrion by combining with oxaloacetate to form citrate and then complete the combustion of the acetyl-CoA into carbon dioxide and water.

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $NH_3$

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $NH_3$ = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Phosphoric acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide to produce magnesium phosphate and water via the following reaction:

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)

<h3>Explaination:</h3>

This is a typical neutralization reaction of an acid with a base to form a salt and water. The reaction is exothermic, gives off heat,

ΔH < 0 , and may be balanced by adding balancing numbers in front, ie adding molecules, in order to ensure that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on the left and right hand sides of the equation.

Doing so we obtain :

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)
