faust18 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The two molecules of acetyl-CoA that are produced from a molecule of glucose goes through two turn in the citric acid cycle, one for each molecule of acetyl-CoA.

Explanation:

Glycolysis the process by which a molecule of glucose is broken down in a series of steps to yield two molecules of pyruvate. The overall equation for  the reactions of glycolsis is given below:

Glucose + 2NAD+ ----> 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H⁺

Each of the two pyruvate molecules produced from glucose breakdown is further oxidized to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and CO₂ each.

2 Pyruvate ----> 2 AcetylCoA + 2CO₂

Each of the acetyl-CoA molecule then enters the citric acid cycle for its oxidation. In each turn of the cycle, one acetyl group enters as acetyl-CoA and two molecules of CO₂ leave.

Which statements are true of the reaction below? 2na(s) + cl2(g) 2nacl(s) Check all that apply. A - NaCl is a product B - Na(s)
Bumek [7]

Answer:

A - NaCl is a product

D - Cl2 is a gas

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction;

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl2

  • Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Sodium is in solid state, chlorine is in gaseous state and Sodium chloride is in solid state.
  • In the chemical reaction, sodium and chlorine are reactants while sodium chloride is the product.
  • Additionally the chemical reaction above is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.

Which is the metric standard for measuring energy? Which unit is used for specific heat capacity? If you wanted to compare the a
DENIUS [597]

1. Which is the metric standard for measuring energy?

The <u>metric standard for measuring of energy </u>defined by the International System of Units is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of a newton in a displacement of one meter in the direction of force. So,

1 J = 1 N m = 1 kg·m²/s²

Calorie is also frequently used in scientific and technological applications. Calorie is a <u>unit of thermal energy that is equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius</u>.

1 cal = 4,184 J

2. Which unit is used for specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity (c) is a physical quantity that is defined as the <u>amount of heat (</u><u>q</u><u>) that must be supplied to the mass unit of a thermodynamic substance or system to raise its temperature by one unit.</u> So,

c = q / m ΔT

where m is the mass of the substance and ΔT is the temperature increase.

In this way, as heat is a form of energy, the International System of Units expresses the specific heat in <u>joules per kilogram and per kelvin</u> (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹). Another common unit, not belonging to the SI, is the <u>calorie per gram and per degree centigrade</u> (cal g⁻¹ ° C⁻¹).

3. If you wanted to compare the abilities of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use?

You should use units of specific heat capacity (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹) since, as mentioned above, this is a physical quantity that measures the amount of heat that must be supplied to an specific mass of a substance or system to raise its temperature.

Heat is a thermal energy, so <u>by using heat capacity units you can compare the ability of</u><u> </u><u>olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy by varying its temperature.</u>
