Ascorbic acid is a monoanion at neutral pH. It is a powerful antioxidant, which scavenges free radicals. It is oxidized in a sin

gle-electron oxidation to the monodehydroascorbate radical anion (MDHA-) accodring to the reaction Asc- -> MDHA- + H+ + e- The half-reaction has a standard reduction potential (E0') of +0.330V. Ascorbate also undergoes a two-electron oxidation to dehydroascorbate (DHA) Asc- -> DHA + H+ + 2e- This half-reaction has a standard reduction potential (E0') of +0.08V. Finally, MDHA- undergoes a disproportionation reaction 2MDHA- + H+ -> DHA + Asc- Determine the biochemical standard free-energy changeG0' for this reaction.

Answer:

-48.24 kJ/mol

Explanation:

For the global reaction

2MDHA⁻ + H⁺ → DHA + Asc⁻

The reduction potential of the reaction is the reduction potential of the substance that is reducing less the reduction potential of the substance that is oxidizing.

As we can see, MDHA⁻ is reducing (its gaining electrons), and Asc in oxiding(it's losing electrons), so:

E° = 0.330 - 0.08 = 0.250 V

The standard free energy can be calculated by:

ΔG°' = -nFE°

Where n is the number of electrons changed in the reaction (in this case 2), and F is the Faraday constant (96485 C/mol).

ΔG°' =  -2*96485*0.250

ΔG°' = -48242.5 J/mol

ΔG°' = -48.24 kJ/mol

Which makes the phosphorus cycle different from the carbon cycles
azamat
<span>The phosphorus cycle is different compared to the water,carbon, and nitrogen cycle because it can not be found in the gas state. Phosphorus is only found in land, water, and sediment. The phosphorus cycle is a bio-geochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. The other cycles is the process by which it is converted between its various chemical form. Phosphorus has small particles that only sometime go up into the atmosphere and contribute to acid rain but other than that phosphorus stays in and on land, sea, and sediment.(:
Good luck!</span>

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

4.9 x 10⁻⁶.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>2H₂O(g) ⇄ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g),</em>

'

P of H₂ = 0.002 atm, P of O₂ = 0.006 atm, and P of H₂O = 0.07 atm.

∴ The equilibrium constant (Kp) = (P of H₂)²(P of O₂)/(P of H₂O)² = (0.002 atm)²(0.006 atm)/(0.07 atm)² = 4.9 x 10⁻⁶.
