In the citric acid cycle, after the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C

), subsequent reactions eventually result in 4C intermediates that are rearranged to regenerate oxaloacetate. What happens to the other two carbons?

Answer:

The carbons of the acetyl group oxidize which generate CO2, and in turn H2O.

Explanation:

The pyruvic acid that is generated during glycolysis enters the mitochondria. Inside this organelle, the acid molecules undergo a process called oxidative decaborxylation in which an enzyme of several cofactors is involved, one of which is coenzyme A. Pyruvic acid is transformed into an acetyl molecule and these are been introduced to the begining of the Krebs Cycle where the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C). As the molecule cycles the two carbons of the acetyl oxidize and are released in the form of CO2. Then the energy of the Krebs cycle becomes sufficient to reduce three NAD +, which means that three NADH molecules are formed. Although a small portion of energy is used to generate ATP, most of it is used to reduce not only the NAD + but also the FAD which, if oxidized, passes to its reduced state, FADH2

5. If 1 g of a gas occupies a volume of 300 mL at STP, what is the molecular weight of the gas?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

74,67 gr/mol

Explanation:

At STP 1 mole of an ideal gas has volume of 22,4 L. Since we know the volume of the gas we can find the number of moles of the gas. (300 mL=0,3 L)

n=0,3L/22,4 L=0,01339 mol

Since we know weight of the gas as 1 g, we can find the molecular weight as;

MW=1 g/0,01339 mol =74,67 gr/mol

Okay so this is half math half chemistry...
AleksandrR [38]
So you need to find the volume in L? If so:
Convert the mass of Lithium Bromide into moles by dividing the 100 grams by the molar mass of LiBr, taken from the periodic table 
In a solution, moles = (concentration in mole/L) x (volume in L)
We know the moles, we have the concentration in mole/L, now find the volume in L, and you should get 0.288. Plz do the math and check for yourself

6.(01.05 LC) Which states of matter change shape when moved?(2 points) Gases and solids Liquids and gases Liquids, solids, and g
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:Gases and solids , Solids and liquids​

Explanation:

A solid has a definite shape while liquids and gases take the shape of the container in which they are found .

Hence when a substance changes it's state from gas to solid or solid to liquid, it's shape automatically changes as explained above.
