Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

Carnitine Synthesis

Explanation:

Ascorbic acid acts as a cofactor in various hydroxylation and amidation reactions by electron transfer to enzymes that provide reducing equivalents. Accordingly, ascorbic acid is required or facilitates the conversion of certain proline and lysine residues of the procollagen, the oxidation of lysine side chains to proteins, providing hydroxytrimethylsiline for carnitine synthesis. This means that ascorbic acid is essential for the carnitine synthesis.

Carnitine is derived from amino acids and acts as a cofactor for the enzyme acetyltransferase responsible for the transport of fatty acids to mitochondria. Your presence in the body is very important for feeling energetic and strong. The lack of canitine, influenced by the lack of ascorbic acid in individuals suffering from scurvy, causes a lack of energy.

If the sentence is true, write true. If the sentence is false , replace the underlined word to make the sentence true.
ivann1987 [24]

1. False

Elements bond to form compounds.

Consider that compounds are essentially clumped up atoms. Knowing this, we know that atoms don’t separate, but rather combine in order to make compounds.

2. True

3. False

Atoms cam lose or gain electrons to form ionic bonds.

When at atom doesn’t have enough electrons to become stable, it will either give or take electrons from another atom in order to become stable. However, because of the fact that the atoms become oppositely charge, they attract each other, thus forming an ionic bond

What is disproportionation reaction and give one example of it ?​
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A disproportionation reaction is when a multiatomic species whose pertinent element has a specific oxidation state gets oxidized and reduced in two separate half-reactions, yielding two other products containing the same pertinent element. A convenient example is Mn2O3 becoming Mn2+ and MnO2 .

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 27.6 g of carbon were burned in the presence of
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 101.2 g of CO2

Explanation:

C = 27.6 g

O₂ = 86.5 g   remained 12.9 g

O₂ that reacted = 86.5 - 12.9 = 73.6 g

                     C     + O₂      ⇒        CO₂      The equation is balanced

                    27.6    73.6                 ?

MW               12        32                  44

Rule of three

                        12 g of C------------------  44 g  CO2

                       27.6 g C  ------------------    x

                  x = 27.6(44)/12 = 101.2 g of CO2

                       32 g of O2 ---------------    44 g of CO2

                        73.6 g of O2 ------------      x

                  x = 73.6(44)/32 = 101.2 g of CO2

A 2.2 M solution is made by with 0.45 moles of a solute. What is the final volume of this solution?
Savatey [412]

Answer: The final volume of this solution is 0.204 L.

Explanation:

Given: Molarity of solution = 2.2 M

Moles of solute = 0.45 mol

Molarity is the number of moles of solute present divided by volume in liters.

Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\2.2 M = \frac{0.45}{Volume}\\Volume = 0.204 L

Thus, we can conclude that the final volume of this solution is 0.204 L.
