The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced in the reaction. In this reaction, the charge of Cu falls from +2 to zero charge (neutral atom in the right side). Hence, CuO is the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent, the one being oxidized is carbon from zero charge to +4. The answer is CuO.
Answer:
In the third step of the citric acid cycle, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released.
Explanation:
In the first step of citric acid cycle, acetylCoA combines with a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon molecule, citrate.
In the second step, the citrate in the presence of enzyme anicotase is converted into isocitrate.
<u>In the third step, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released leaving behind one five-carbon molecule called as α-ketoglutarate. During this step, NAD⁺ is reduced to form NADH. </u>
<u>This is first round of the citric acid cycle that could possibly release a carbon atom originating from this acetyl CoA.</u>
On series of reaction, another carbon dioxide molecule also being relased and oxaloacetate is regenerated again.
Answer:The answer to this question comes from experiments done by the scientist Robert Boyle in an effort to improve air pumps. In the 1600's, Boyle measured the volumes of gases at different pressures. Boyle found that when the pressure of gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. when the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases. this relationship between pressure and volume is called Boyle's law.
Explanation: So, at constant temperature, the answer to your answer is: the volume decreases in the same ratio as the ratio of pressure increases.
BUT, in general, there is not a single answer to your question. It depend by the context.
For example, if you put the gas in a rigid steel tank (volume is constant), you can heat the gas, so provoking a pressure increase. But you won't get any change in volume.
Or, if you heat the gas in a partially elastic vessel (as a tire or a soccer ball) you will get both an increase of volume AND an increase of pressure.
FINALLY if you inflate a bubblegum ball, the volume will be increased without any change in pressure and temperature, because you have increased the NUMBER of molecules in the balloon.
There are many other ways to change volume and pressure of a gas that are different from the Boyle experiment.
We can use a variety of formulas to determine our answers here.
Our formula for pOH is -log(mol), and we can plug it in as -log(0.010). Take note that OH- is a base, not an acid.
So, the pOH of OH- is 2.
To find pH we can set up this simple equation:
pH + pOH = 14
All we need to do is subtract 2 from 14, therefore the pH is 12.
This makes sense since acids range in the pH of 1-6, and we are dealing with a base. Hope I could help!
