Answer:
c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.
Explanation:
Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.
Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.
Answer:
1218.585
Explanation:
Looking at the subscripts we know there are 2 atoms of Fe, 3 atoms of C, and 6 of O.
Take the molar mass of each atom (from the periodic table) and multiply by the # of atoms
Fe: 55.845×2= 111.69
C: 12.011×3= 36.033
O:15.999×6=95.994
Add the values together: 243.717 g/mol
That is 1 mole of the molecule. Multiply by 5 for the final answer.
243.717×5=1218.585
Answer:
0.56 liters
Explanation:
First we <u>convert 0.80 grams of O₂ into moles</u>, using its molar mass:
- 0.80 g ÷ 32 g/mol = 0.025 mol
At STP, 1 mol of any given mass occupies 22.4 L. With that information in mind we <u>calculate the volume that 0.025 moles of O₂ gas would occupy</u>:
- 0.025 mol * 22.4 L/mol = 0.56 L
Thus the answer is 0.56 liters.
Answer:
Explanation:
Formula for the calculation of no. of Mol is as follows:
Molecular mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mol
Amount of Ag = 5.723 g
Molecular mass of S = 32 g/mol
Amount of S = 0.852 g
Molecular mass of O = 16 g/mol
Amount of O = 1.695 g
In order to get integer value, divide mol by smallest no.
Therefore, divide by 0.02657
Therefore, empirical formula of the compound =
