You are carrying out an experiment in the lab to study the glycolysis pathway. To do this, a liver extract (which is capable of
carrying out all of the normal metabolic reactions) is incubated with 14C-labeled glucose at carbon 1. Based on your knowledge of glycolysis, where does the 14C-label end up in pyruvate?

First we must write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction
The mole ratio for the reaction between and
is 1:2. This means 1 moles of
will neutralize 2 moles
. Now we find the moles of each reactant based on the mass and molar mass.
The was enough to neutralize the acid because 18.87:39.67 is the same as 1:2 mol ratio.
