Catalyst- chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed from the reaction. Enzyme- substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a particular biochemical reaction. Hope it helps.
Molar mass O2 = 31.99 g/mol
Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
Moles ratio:
<span>C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
</span>
5 x 44.01 g O2 ---------------- 3 x 44.01 g CO2
( mass of O2) ------------------ 37.15 g CO2
mass of O2 = 37.15 x 5 x 44.01/ 3 x 44.01
mass of O2 = 8174.8575 / 132.03
mass of O2 = 61.916 g
Therefore:
1 mole O2 ----------------- 31.99 g
moles O2 -------------------- 61.916
moles O2 = 61.916 x 1 / 31.99
moles = 61.916 / 31.99 => 1.935 moles of O2
When sulfate (SO₄²⁻) serves as the electron acceptor at the end of a respiratory electron transport chain, the product is hydrogen sulfide (H₂S).
How sulfate acts as electon acceptor and electron donor?
- Sulfate (SO₄²⁻) is used as the electron acceptor in sulfate reduction, which results in the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a metabolic byproduct.
- Many Gram negative bacteria identified in the -Proteobacteria use sulfate reduction, which is a rather energy-poor process.
- Gram-positive organisms connected to Desulfotomaculum or the archaeon Archaeoglobus also utilise it.
- Electron donors are needed for sulfate reduction, such as hydrogen gas or the carbon molecules lactate and pyruvate (organotrophic reducers) (lithotrophic reducers).
