The pyruvic acid from glycolysis can be converted to acetic acid, which can enter the citric acid cycle. Because this process is

a cycle, the atoms entering the cycle must balance the atoms that leave. Consider carbon balance in the citric acid cycle. How many CO 2 molecules leave the cycle for each acetic acid molecule that enters? For this question, assume that carbon only enters as acetic acid and exits as CO 2 . Note that acetic acid has two carbon atoms. You can determine the number of carbon atoms in carbon dioxide from its formula, CO 2 .

Answer: 2CO2, 8CO2

Explanation:

During glycolysis one molecule of glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvic acid (3 carbon molecule). Pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl CoA(2 carbon molecule) by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

For each acetic acid that enters the citric acid cycle 2 molecules of CO2 is given off.

For one glucose molecule produces 2 acetyl CoA

2 acetyl groups + 6 NAD+ + 2 FAD + 2 ADP + 2 Pi yields 4 CO2 + 6 NADH + 6 H+ + 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP.

Hence 4 molecules of acetic acid is completely oxidized to 8 molecules of CO2.

The concentration in molality of hcl in a solution that is prepared by dissolving 5.5 g of hcl in 200.0 g of c2h6o is __________
PIT_PIT [208]

Molality is one way of expressing concentration of a solute in a solution. It is expressed as the mole of solute per kilogram of the solvent. To calculate for the molality of the given solution, we need to convert the mass of solute into moles and divide it to the mass of the solvent.

<span>
Moles of HCl = 5.5 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl ) = 0.1509 mol HCl</span>

<span>
Molality = 0.1509 mol HCl / 200 g C2H6O ( 1 kg / 1000 g )
Molality = 0.7543 mol / kg</span>


<span>The concentration in molality of hcl in a solution that is prepared by dissolving 5.5 g of hcl in 200.0 g of c2h6o is 0.7453 molal.</span>

The isotope 106 46Pd (106 on top and 46 on bottom)
vazorg [7]

Answer:

4. 60 neutrons.

Explanation:

The given isotopes;

         ¹⁰⁶₄₆Pd

In this isotope, we can deduce that the mass number is the superscript and the atomic number is the subscript;

     Mass number  = 106

     Atomic number  = 46

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom;

       Mass number = Protons + neutrons

Atomic number is the number of protons

   

So,  Number of protons  = 46

Number of neutrons  = Mass number  - Atomic number

                                    = 106  - 46

                                     = 60

Number of neutrons  = 60

Why is melting ice cream a physical?
worty [1.4K]

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.

For the solution resulting from dissolved 0.32 g of naphthalene (C10H8) in 25 g of benzene (C6H6) at temperature of 26.1°C, calc
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Number of moles of naphthalene = 0.32g/128.1705 g/mol = 0.0025 moles

Molality = number of moles/ mass of Solvent in kilograms

Molality = 0.0025/0.025 Kg

Morality = 0.1 m

But

∆T= K × i × m

Where ∆T = boiling point elevation

i= number of particles (this is equal to 1 because naphthalene is molecular and not ionic)

m= molality of naphthalene = 0.1 m

K= boiling point elevation constant = 5.12 °C/m

∆T= 5.12 °C/m ×0.1 = 0.512°C

For freezing point depression

∆T= K× i × m

Where ∆T= freezing point depression

i= number of particles (this is equal to 1 because naphthalene is molecular and not ionic)

m= molality of naphthalene = 0.1 m

K= freezing point depression constant = 2.67 °C/m

∆T= 2.67 °C/m ×0.1 = 0.267°C

From Raoult's law;

∆P = XBPA°

Where;

∆P = vapour pressure lowering

XB = mole fraction of solute

PA° = vapour pressure of pure solvent

Number of moles of solvent = mass/molar mass = 25g/ 78 g/mol= 0.3205 moles

Total number of moles = number of moles of solute + number of moles of solvent = 0.0025 moles + 0.3205 moles = 0.323 moles

Mole fraction of solute = 0.0025 moles/0.323 moles = 0.0077

Vapour pressure of benzene = 100 torr

Therefore;

∆P = 0.0077 × 100torr = 0.77 torr

Hence;

∆P = 0.77 torr

2. Why does the CDC recommend hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol?! I
choli [55]

Answer:

Here's it:

Explanation:

Germs are everywhere! They can get onto hands and items we touch during daily activities and make us sick. Cleaning hands at key times with soap and water or hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to those around you.

There are important differences between washing hands with soap and water and using hand sanitizer. Soap and water work to remove all types of germs from hands, while sanitizer acts by killing certain germs on the skin. Although alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs in many situations, they should be used in the right situations.
