How many glucose molecules are needed to make 24 acetyls in pyruvate processing?

Chemistry
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
4 0

Glucose is converted into pyruvate in a process called Glycolysis which aim in production of energy for most of tissues inside our body... then pyruvate is converted into acetyl coA with the help of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme then this acetyl coA enters citric acid cycle for production of more energy 

One Acetyl molecule will be produced form one pyruvic acid. and two pyruvic acid molecule will be formed from one glucose molecule during glycolysis. so from

2 acetyl molecules → one glucose molecules.

For 24 acetyl molecules → ??

24*1/2 = 12.

The answer is 12 Glucose molecules.

The 1H-NMR of a compound with molecular formula C6H12O2 consists of four signals: 1.1 (triplet, integrating to 3 Hydrogens), 1.2
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Isopropyl propionate  

Explanation:

1. Information from formula

The formula is C₆H₁₂O₂. A six-carbon alkane would have the formula C₆H₁₄. The deficiency of two H atoms indicates the presence of either a ring or a double bond.

2. Information from the spectrum

(a) Triplet-quartet

A 3H triplet and a 2H quartet is the classic pattern for a CH₃CH₂- (ethyl) group

(b) Septet-doublet

A 1H septet and a 6H doublet is the classic pattern for a -CH(CH₃)₂ (isopropyl) group

(c) The rest of the molecule

The ethyl and isopropyl groups together add up to C₇H₁₂.

The rest of the molecule must have the formula CO₂ and one unit of unsaturation. That must be a C=O group.

The compound is either

CH₃CH₂-COO-CH(CH₃)₂ or (CH₃)₂CH-COO-CH₂CH₃.

(d) Well, which is it?

The O atom of the ester function should have the greatest effect on the H atom on the adjacent carbon atom.

The CH of an isopropyl is normally at 1.7. The adjacent O atom should pull it down perhaps 3.2 units to 4.9.  

The CH₂ of an ethyl group is normally at 1.2. The adjacent O atom should pull it down to about 4.4.

We see a signal at 5.0 but none near 4.4. The compound is isopropyl propionate.

3. Summary

My peak assignments are shown in the diagram below.

Describe how kinetic energy is related to temperature.
Tasya [4]
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles of matter. the hotter something is the more kinetic energy it has. ... temperature heats up the particles they have more kinetic energy and move and bounce into each other and spread out.
