Answer:

c) FAD is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

The β-oxidation is a catabolic process where fatty acids are degraded into a final product: Acetil-CoA. In order this process occurres, the fatty acid chain is being removed from a pair of carbon atoms on each cycle

Before the β-oxidation takes place, the fatty acid molecule should be activated, so it can go through the mitochondrial membrane into (via a carnitine translocator)

Once the activated molecule is inside the mitochondrial matrix, it can go through the β-oxidation: the first step is the oxidation of the fatty acid, with the enzyme Acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase (this enzyme catalyzes the creation of a double bond between carbon-2 and carbon-3.

This enzyme has attached a coenzyme: FAD, which takes the electrons (from the fatty acid oxidation) and becomes a reduced component: FADH2:

Acyl-CoA + FAD ↔ trans-Δ2-enoyl-CoA + FADH2

State the guideline you can use to predict the formula of:

Cerrena [4.2K]

We can predict formula of ionic compounds by:

Take a look at where the elements are listed on the periodic table.
The amount of electrons that an element would need to gain or lose in order to resemble an atom of a nearby noble gas is one of the similarities that atoms in the same column as one another (group) tend to display.
Alkali metal group I ions have +1 charges.
Alkaline earth metals (group 2 ions) have a +2 charge.
Nonmetal group 6 ions have a charge of -2.
Halides in group 7 have a -1 charge.
The charges of the transition metals cannot be predicted in a straightforward manner.
Check out a table of charges (valences) to see potential values. The +1, +2, and +3 charges are most frequently employed in beginning and general chemistry courses.
Keep in mind that the positive ion is always stated first when writing an ionic compound's formula.

These are the few guidelines we can use to product formula.

Chlorofluorocarbons photodissociate to produce chlorine atoms, cl•, which have been implicated in decreasing the concentration o

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The role that chlorine atoms have in increasing the depeltion rate ozone is that Cl acts as a catalyst.

Explanation:

From the two steps of the reaction:

O₃ + Cl· → ClO· + O₂
ClO· + O → Cl· + O₂

The overall reaction is: O₃ + O → 2O₂

It is clear that ClO· is an intermediate that has been produced within the first step and has been consumed in the second step.

Also, Cl· is considered as a catalyst in this reaction that it has been consumed in the first step and has been produced in the second step, which means that it does not get up in the reaction, that is the main characteristic of the catalyst.

The catalyst usually increases the rate of the reaction by lowering its energy of activation (The minimum energy that is required to initiate the reaction) by proceeding the reaction in an alternative pathway <em>(changing the reaction mechanism)</em>.

Hence, the role affecting the reaction rate that chlorine atoms have in increasing the depletion rate of ozone that it acts as a catalyst and does not get used up in the reaction.

What is the difference between single, double, and triple covalent bonds? How many shared electrons are in each?

lana66690 [7]

Answer

A *single covalent bond* is formed by sharing one pair of valence electrons.They are less reactive comparatviely and have a high bond length

A *double covalent bond* is formed by sharing two pairs of valence electrons.They are moderately reactive and have moderate bond length.

A *triple covalent bond* is formed by sharing three pairs of valence electrons.They are highly reactive and have a low bond length.
