Combustion of glucose (C6H12O6) is the main source of energy for animal cells: C6H12O6(s)+ 6O2(g)→ 6CO2(g)+ 6H2O(l) =ΔGrxn37°C−2

872.kJ This energy is generally stored as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules, which can release it when convenient by hydrolysis ("water-assisted decomposition") into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) molecules and a phosphate anion, often given the symbol Pi in biochemistry: ATP(aq)→ ADP(aq)+ Pi (aq) =ΔGrxn−35 to 70kJ The actual amount of free energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP varies, depending on the exact conditions inside the cell. Suppose under certain conditions hydrolysis of ATP actually releases −41.9/kJmol. Calculate the maximum number of ATPs that could be created from ADPs and Pi by the combustion of a molecule of glucose. Your answer must be a whole number.

Answer:

The maximum number of ATPs that could be created from ADPs and Pi by the combustion of a molecule of glucose is 68.

Explanation:

C_6H_{12}O_6(s)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l),\Delta G_{rxn}=-2872.kJ/mol

2872 kJ of heat is released when 1 mole of glucose undergoes combustion.This energy store is released in in the form of ATP molecules.

When all of energy in the form of ATP undergoes hydrolysis gives ADP  molecules and a phosphate anion along with release 41.9 kJ of energy.

ATP(aq) → ADP(aq)+ Pi (aq) ,\Delta G_{rxn}=-41.9 kJ/mol

ADP(aq)+ Pi (aq) → ATP(aq) ,\Delta G_{rxn}=41.9 kJ/mol

41.9 kJ of energy is required convert 1 mole of ADP and 1 mol of phosphate anion into 1 mol of ATP.

The maximum number of ATPs:

\frac{2872 kJ/mol}{41.9 kJ/mol}=68.54\approx 68

Determine the empirical formulas for compounds with the following percent compositions:
Elis [28]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The empirical formula of the compound is P_2O_5

<u>For b:</u> The empirical formula of the compound is KH_2PO_4

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For a:</u>

We are given:

Percentage of P = 43.6 %

Percentage of O = 56.4 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of P = 43.6 g

Mass of O = 56.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Phosphorus =\frac{\text{Given mass of Phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of Phosphorus}}=\frac{43.6g}{31g/mole}=1.406moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{56.4g}{16g/mole}=3.525moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.406 moles.

For Phosphorus = \frac{1.406}{1.406}=1

For Oxygen = \frac{3.525}{1.406}=2.5

Converting the moles in whole number ratio by multiplying it by '2', we get:

For Phosphorus = 1\times 2=2

For Oxygen = 2.5\times 2=5

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of P : O = 2 : 5

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is P_2O_5

  • <u>For b:</u>

We are given:

Percentage of K = 28.7 %

Percentage of H = 1.5 %

Percentage of P = 22.8 %

Percentage of O = 56.4 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of K = 28.7 g

Mass of H = 1.5 g

Mass of P = 43.6 g

Mass of O = 56.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Potassium =\frac{\text{Given mass of Potassium}}{\text{Molar mass of Potassium}}=\frac{28.7g}{39g/mole}=0.736moles

Moles of Hydrogen =\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of hydrogen}}=\frac{1.5g}{1g/mole}=1.5moles

Moles of Phosphorus =\frac{\text{Given mass of Phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of Phosphorus}}=\frac{22.8g}{31g/mole}=0.735moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{47g}{16g/mole}=2.9375moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.735 moles.

For Potassium = \frac{0.736}{0.735}=1

For Hydrogen = \frac{1.5}{0.735}=2.04\approx 2

For Phosphorus = \frac{0.735}{0.735}=1

For Oxygen = \frac{2.9375}{0.735}=3.99\approx 4

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of K : H : P : O = 1 : 2 : 1 : 4

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is KH_2PO_4

Is 6.0 × 10 to the negative 4th power is a significant figure?​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

First remember that a significant figure are basically values that contribute to the precision of a value. In any scientific notation the values are significant figures because these values stay the same. In this case we have two significant figures which is 6 and 0, you can further prove that they are significant figures by converting the notation into standard form.

6.0\times10^{-4}

Negative so move the decimal point to the left:

=0.00060

6 and 0 are the significant figures in this standard notation because it's precise to it's actual value which is 6.0.

To sum up, the values you have on the left side of a notation are significant figures since they will not change no matter if it's standard or scientific notation meaning it's precise.

Hope this helps.
