Answer:
argon is octet because it has eight electrons in its valence shell
Explanation:
Answer:
1/3
Explanation:
Pyruvate is produced by the glycolysis in cytoplasm. The oxidation of pyruvate takes place in mitochondrial matrix.
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the reaction given below:
Pyruvate + NAD⁺ + CoA-SH ⇒ acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO₂
1 molecule of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 1 molecule of pyruvate.
Also,
2 molecules of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 2 molecules of pyruvate (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate).
Also, acetyl-CoA further goes into the citric acid cycle and produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide.
Thus pyruvate produces total 3 molecules of CO₂ and hence glucose produces 6 molecules of CO₂ (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate)
Thus,
<u>Fraction = 2/6 = 1/3</u>
Answer:
46.40 g.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometric problem.
- The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
- It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
- We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>
n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.
<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>
4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.
0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.
∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.
- Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:
∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.
