Answer;

Yes; this reaction be spontaneous if coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP.

Explanation;

The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate (energetically unfavorable) can be coupled with the conversion of ATP to ADP (energetically favorable):

Glycerol + HPO42 ⟶glycerol-3-phosphate+H2O

ATP + H2O⟶ ADP + HPO42− + H+

Answer:

Yes, this reaction will be spontaneous.

Explanation:

A reaction is spontaneous if ΔG < 0.

The coupling of glycerol to glycerol-3-phospate with ATP gives:

glycerol + HPO₄²⁻ ⟶ glycerol-3-phosphate + H₂O ΔG = +9,2 kJ/mol

ATP + H₂O ⟶ ADP + HPO₄²⁻ ΔG = -30,5 kJ/mol

glycerol + ATP ⟶ ADP + glycerol-3-phosphate

ΔG = +9,2 kJ/mol - 30,5 kJ/mol = <em>-21,3 kJ/mol</em>

As ΔG<0, <em>this reaction will be spontaneous</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

A student obtains the following data: Mass of empty, dry graduated cylinder: 21.577 g Volume added of NaCl solution: 4.602 mL Ma
klasskru [66]

<u>Answer:</u> The density of NaCl solution is 3.930 g/mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of cylinder, m_1 = 21.577 g

Mass of NaCl and cylinder combined, M = 39.664 g

Mass of NaCl, m_2 = (M-m_1)=(39.664-21.577)g=18.087g

To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

We are given:

Mass of NaCl = 18.087 g

Volume of NaCl solution = 4.602 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Density of NaCl}=\frac{18.087g}{4.602mL}\\\\\text{Density of NaCl}=3.930g/mL

Hence, the density of NaCl solution is 3.930 g/mL

Which will most likely result if there is increased upwelling in a coastal area
erastovalidia [21]
Increased upwelling in a coastal area results to more aquatic life. Upwelling is the process in which deep, cold water rises towards the surface. It is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind driven motion of the dense, cooler and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface replacing the warmer usually nutrient depleted surface water.
