Acyl-CoA + FAD ↔ trans-Δ2-enoyl-CoA + FADH2 (NOTE: the double tipped arrow means forward and reverse)

Chemistry
1 answer:
aleksley [76]3 years ago
3 0

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

Sometimes you are given a measured amount of two or more reactants and asked how much product can be formed. Explain what steps
Westkost [7]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, follow these steps;

  • Obtain a balanced equation of the reaction and familiarize with the reactants and products.
  • Find the number of moles of the reacting species since they are the known matter in terms of quantity.
  • From the number of moles, determine the limiting reactant.
  • The limiting reactant is the one given in short supply.
  • Such reactant determines the extent of the reaction.
  • Compare the moles of this specie to that of the products using the balanced equation.
  • Obtain the mole of the desired product and find the mass or desired quantity.
  • simply work from the known specie to the unknown

If a gas occupies 4600 mL at 0.9 atm and 195°C, what is the new volume in ml
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The new volume is 2415 mL

Explanation:

The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C are used and are reference values for gases.

Boyle's law says that the volume occupied by a given gas mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure and is expressed mathematically as:

P * V = k

Charles's law is a law that says that when the amount of gas and pressure are kept constant, the ratio between volume and temperature will always have the same value:

\frac{V}{T} =k

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that when there is a constant volume, as the temperature increases, the gas pressure increases. And when the temperature is decreased, the gas pressure decreases. This can be expressed mathematically in the following way:

\frac{P}{T} =k

Combined law equation is the combination of three gas laws called Boyle's, Charlie's and Gay-Lusac's law:

\frac{P*V}{T} =k

Having two different states, an initial state and an final state, it is true:

\frac{P1*V1}{T1} =\frac{P2*V2}{T2}

In this case:

  • P1= 0.9 atm
  • V1=4,600 mL= 4.6 L (being 1 L=1,000 mL)
  • T1= 195 °C= 468 °K (being 0°C=273°K)

The final state 2 is in STP conditions:

  • P2= 1 atm
  • V2= ?
  • T2= 0°C= 273 °K

Replacing:

\frac{0.9 atm*4.6L}{468K} =\frac{1 atm*V2}{273K}

Solving:

V2=\frac{0.9 atm*4.6L}{468K}*\frac{273K}{1 atm}

V2= 2.415 L =2,415 mL

<u><em>The new volume is 2415 mL</em></u>
