Answer:

Explanation:
The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called <u>"beta-oxidation"</u>. In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing <u>2 carbons</u> from the fatty acid for each acetyl-Coa produced. In other words, for each round, 1 acetyl Coa is produced and for each round 2 carbons are removed from the initial fatty acid. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the <u>number of rounds</u> that will take place for an <u>18-carbon fatty</u> acid using the following equation:

Where "n" is the <u>number of carbons</u>, in this case "18", so:

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the <u>production of 1
and 1
</u>. So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8
and 8
.
Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the <u>yield for each compound</u>:
-)
-) 
-) 
Now we can do the total calculation:

We have to <u>subtract</u> "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the <u>activation</u> of the fatty acid, so:

In total, we will have 128 ATP.
I hope it helps!
A compound is two or more chemically combined elements. Fore example NaCl, CO2, H2O
Answer:
#Molecules XeF₆ = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.
Explanation:
Given … Excess Xe + 12.9L F₂ @298K & 2.6Atm => ? molecules XeF₆
1. Convert 12.9L 298K & 2.6Atm to STP conditions so 22.4L/mole can be used to determine moles of F₂ used.
=> V(F₂ @ STP) = 12.6L(273K/298K)(2.6Atm/1.0Atm) = 30.7L F₂ @ STP
2. Calculate moles of F₂ used
=> moles F₂ = 30.7L/22.4L/mole = 1.372 mole F₂ used
3. Calculate moles of XeF₆ produced from reaction ratios …
Xe + 3F₂ => XeF₆ => moles of XeF₆ = ⅓(moles F₂) = ⅓(1.372) moles XeF₆ = 0.4572 mole XeF₆
4. Calculate number molecules XeF₆ by multiplying by Avogadro’s Number (6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)
=> #Molecules XeF₆ = 0.4572mole(6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)
= 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.
Liquid :) it goes directly from a solid to a gas. Have a nice day!
