How many equivalents of pyruvate are needed to generate 1 equivalent of glucose?

1 answer:

4 0

Gluconeogenesis is the process by which the body produce glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates such as pyruvate. To produce glucose from pyruvate, two moleucules of pyruvate is needed. The reaction for the gluconeogenesis reaction is as follow:
2 pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 GTP + 2 NADH = Glucose + 4 ADP + 2 GDP + 2 NAD + 6Pi.

Determine the mass of 5.25×10^24 atoms Cl

fgiga [73]

Answer:

300 g

Explanation:

To solve this convert atoms to moles to grams. To convert atoms to moles, you will need Avogadro's number (6.022*10²³ atoms/mol), and to convert moles to grams, you will need the atomic mass of Cl (34.45 g/mol).

Divide the given mass of Cl by Avogadro's number to find moles. Get 8.718..

Multiply the moles by the atomic mass. Get 300.3..

Your answer is 300 g because of significant figures.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

$_{40}^{103}Zr$

Explanation:

For any nuclear equation, we should utilize the law of mass conservation and the law of charge conservation. The sum of the masses on the left-hand side of the arrow should be equal to the sum of the masses on the right-hand side of the arrow (those are the superscripts for each nucleus). Similarly, the sums of charges should be equal (this is the law of charge conservation).

Let's say that the missing species is X with a mass of 'M' and charge of 'Z':

$_{94}^{239}Pu+_0^1n\rightarrow _Z^MX+_{54}^{134}Xe+3_0^1n$
