Answer:

E) 2.38

Explanation:

The pH of any solution , helps to determine the acidic strength of the solution ,

i.e. ,

Lower the value of pH , higher is its acidic strength

and ,

Higher the value of pH , lower is its acidic strength .

pH is given as the negative log of the concentration of H⁺ ions ,

hence ,

pH = - log H⁺

From the question ,

the concentration of the solution is 0.0042 M , and being it a strong acid , dissociates completely to its respective ions ,

Therefore , the concentration of H⁺ = 0.0042 M .

Hence , using the above equation , the value of pH can be calculated as follows -

pH = - log H⁺

pH = - log ( 0.0042 M )

pH = 2.38 .

If each NADHNADH generates 3 ATPATP molecules and each FADH2FADH2 generates 2 ATPATP molecules, calculate the number of ATPATP m

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$128~ATP$

Explanation:

The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called "beta-oxidation". In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing 2 carbons 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 number of rounds that will take place for an 18-carbon fatty acid using the following equation:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{n}{2}-1$

Where "n" is the number of carbons, in this case "18", so:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{18}{2}-1~=~8$

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

$Number~of~Acetyl-Coa=\frac{18}{2}~=~9$

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the production of 1 $FADH_2$ and 1 $NADH$ . So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8 $FADH_2$ and 8 $NADH$ .

Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the yield for each compound:

-) $1~FADH_2~=~2~ATP$

-) $1~NADH~=~3~ATP$

-) $Acetyl~CoA~=~10~ATP$

Now we can do the total calculation:

$(8*2)~+~(8*3)~+~(9*10)=130~ATP$

We have to subtract "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the activation of the fatty acid, so:

$130-2=128~ATP$

In total, we will have 128 ATP.

I hope it helps!

What is the difference between intermolecular forces and intramolecular forces

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule. Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules.

Explanation:

Examples: Intermolecular forces are categorized into dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding forces.

Intramolecular forces are categorized into covalent, ionic and metal bonds

Which has a greater volume, 10 grams of water or 10 grams of acetone?

WINSTONCH [101]

Density is defined as the ratio of mass to the volume.

Density = $\frac{Mass}{Volume}$ (1)

Mass of water = 10 grams

Mass of acetone = 10 grams

Density of water = 1 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$

Density of acetone = 0.7857 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$

Put the value of density of water and its mass in equation (1)

1 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$ = $\frac{10 g}{volume}$

Volume of water = 10 $cm^{3}$

Put the value of density of acetone and its mass in equation (1)

0.7857 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$ = $\frac{10 g}{volume}$

Volume of acetone = 12.72 $cm^{3}$

Thus, volume of acetone is more than volume of water because the density of acetone is lower.

[15 Points, Stoichiometry and Gases]

KiRa [710]

The reaction is

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O (l) -----> Ca(OH)₂ (s) + C₂H₂ (g)

As we have data of gas ethyne (or acetylene), C₂H₂

We can calculate the moles of acetylene and from this we can estimate the mass of calcium carbide taken

the moles of acetylene will be calculated using ideal gas equation

PV =nRT

R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/molK

T = 385 K

V = volume = 550 L

P = Pressure = 1.25 atm

n = moles = ?

n = PV /RT = 1.25 X 550 / 0.0821 X 385 = 21.75 mol

As per balanced equation these moles of acetylene will be obtained from same moles of calcium carbide

moles of calcium carbide = 21.75mol

molar mass of CaC₂ = 40 + 24 = 64

mass of CaC₂ = moles X molar mass = 21.75 X 64 = 1392g
