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

Chemistry

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.

Upon balancing the equation below, how many moles of sulfuric acid are needed to react completely with 6.4 moles of lithium hydr
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Moles of Sulfuric acid needed to react completely : 3.2

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction (balanced)

<em>H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2 LiOH (aq) ⇒ Li₂SO₄ (aq) + 2 H₂O (l)</em>

moles of LiOH = 6.4

From equation, mol ratio of H₂SO₄ : LiOH = 1 : 2, so mol H₂SO₄ :

\tt mol=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.4=3.2

The molecule carbon disulfide CS2 is nonpolar and has only london dispersion forces between the molecules.Carbon tetrachloride C
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:- Melting point of [tex[CCl_4[/tex] is higher than CS_2 where as the vapor pressure of CS_2[/tex[ is higher than [tex]CCl_4 .

Explanations:- Since both the molecules are non polar, the forces of attraction for carbon tetrachloride are comparatively stronger as it's a bigger molecule. We know that, stronger are the forces of attraction, higher is the melting point as more heat is required to break the bonds.

Stronger are the forces of attraction, lower is the vapor pressure as the molecules are more tightly bonded and less molecules goes to the gas phase.

So, melting point of carbon tetrachloride is higher but it's vapor pressure is lower as compared to carbon disulfide.

A 845 mL NaCl solution is diluted to a volume of 1.19 L and a concentration of 6.00 M . What was the initial concentration? Expr
marysya [2.9K]

The initial concentration was 8.45M

Step 1: Given data

Initial concentration (C₁): ?

Initial volume (V₁): 635 mL = 0.845 L

Final concentration (C₂): 6.00 M

Final volume (V₂): 1.19 L

Step 2: Calculate the initial concentration

We have a concentrated NaCl solution and we want to prepare a diluted one. We will use the dilution rule.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

C₁ = C₂ × V₂  / V₁

C₁ = 6.00 M × 1.19 L  / 0.845 L

C₁ = 8.45 M

Thus, The initial concentration was 8.45M
