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.

The mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 if given mass is 234.04360 amu is 1.85864 amu.
<h3>How do we calculate atomic mass?</h3>
Atomic mass (A) of any atom will be calculated as:
A = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
In the Thorium-234:
Number of protons = 90
Number of neutrons = 144
Mass of one proton = 1.00728 amu
Mass of one neutron = 1.00866 amu
Mass of thorium-234 = 90(1.00728) + 144(1.00866)
Mass of thorium-234 = 90.6552 + 145.24704 = 235.90224 amu
Given mass of thorium-234 = 234.04360 amu
Mass defect = 235.90224 - 234.04360 = 1.85864 amu
Hence required value is 1.85864 amu.

Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution
M = 0.5 / 0.05
M = 10.0 mol/L⁻¹
hope this helps!
Answer:
<h3>The answer is option A</h3>
Explanation:
To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

where n is the number of moles
N is the number of entities
L is the Avogadro's constant which is
6.02 × 10²³ entities
From the question we have

We have the final answer as
<h3>2.99 moles</h3>
