What would be the effect of abundant atp on the citric acid cycle?

1 answer:

6 0

ATP binds at the allosteric regulatory site of the enzyme that combines acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate and slows the citric acid cycle. ATP can function as an allosteric regulator of the citric acid cycle.

What begins to happen to radioactive uranium as soon as a mineral containing it crystallizes from magma?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The radioactive uranium decays into its daughter product, lead. It would do this in magma as well, as nuclear decay depends on forces within the atom, not on the phase of the material in which the atom is a part.

A sample that contains only SrCO3 and BaCO3 weighs 0.846 g. When it is dissolved in excess acid, 0.234 g carbon dioxide is liber

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:28.605

Explanation:First, the molar mass of of SrCO3, BaCO3 and CO2 has to be calculated, (using the molar mass of each element Sr = 87.62, Ba = 137.327, C=12.011, O= 16.00)

The molar masses are;

SrCO3 = 87.62 + 12.011 + (3*16) = 147.631g/mol

BaCO3 = 79.904 + 12.011 + (3*16) = 197.34 g/mol

CO2 = 12.011 + (2*16) = 44.011 g/mol

To obtain one of the equations to solve the problem;

The sample is made of SrCO3 and BaCO3 and has a mass of 0.846 g. Representing the mass of SrCO3 as ma and that of BaCO3 as mb. The first equation can be written as:

ma + mb = 0.846g (1)

To obtain another equation in order to be able to determine the different percentages of the compounds (SrCO3 and BaCO3) that make of the sample, a relationship can be obtained by determining the relationship between the number of moles of CO2 formed as the mass of the SrCO3 and BaCO3;

The number of moles of CO2 formed = (mass of CO2)/(molar mass) =0.234/44.011 =0.00532moles

CO2 contains 1 mole of carbon (C) so therefore 0.00532 moles of CO2 contains 0.00532 moles of C

The sample produced 0.00532 moles of CO2, therefore the number of moles SrCO3 and BaCO3 that produced this amount can be calculated using the formula;

= (mass )/(molar mass)

No of moles of SrCO3 and BaCO3 will be ma/147.631 and mb/197.34 moles respectively

The total amount of C molecules produced by SrCO3 and BaCO3 will be 0.00532 moles of C

The second equation can be written as

ma/147.631 + mb/197.34= 0.00532 (2)

Solving Equation (1) and (2) simultaneously;

ma = 0.604g; mb = 0.242g

Therefore the percentage of BaCO3 = (mass of BaCO3 )/(mass of sample )*100

= 0.242/(0.846 )*100

= 28.605%

A book is pushed off the edge of a table. At what point during the fall will the potential and kinetic energy be equal?

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

KE = PE at half the table Height:

Explanation

AT ANY POINT IN THE BOOK'S FALL,

TOTAL E = PE +KE

THE TOTAL E IS CONSTANT

Before the book is pushed off, the total energy is potential

TOT E=PE =MGH

BEFORE THE BOOK HITS THE GROUND, THE TOTAL E IS KINETIC

TOT=KE = MVXV/2

WHEN KE = PE

KE+PE = MGH (STARTING ENERGY SINCE E IS CONSERVED)

OR PE+ PE = MGH

OR MGH' + MGH' =MGH

OR 2H' =H

H' (NEW HEIGHT) =H/2

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen at constant pressure by the following reaction: 2H2O2(l) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g) ΔH =

Mashcka [7]

Answer: The amount of heat released is -7.203 kJ

Explanation:

The given chemical equation follows:

$2H_2O_2(l)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l )+O_2(g);\Delta H=-196kJ$

To calculate the enthalpy change for 1 mole of the hydrogen peroxide, we use unitary method:

When 2 moles of hydrogen peroxide is reacted, the enthalpy of the reaction is -196 kJ

So, when 1 mole of hydrogen peroxide will react, the enthalpy of the reaction will be $\frac{-196}{2}\times 1=-98kJ$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of hydrogen peroxide = 2.50 g

Molar mass of hydrogen peroxide = 34 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of hydrogen peroxide}=\frac{2.50g}{34g/mol}=0.0735mol$

To calculate the heat of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$q$ = amount of heat released

n = number of moles = 0.0735 moles

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction = -98 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$-98kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.0735mol}\\\\q=(-98kJ/mol\times 0.0735mol)=-7.203kJ$

Hence, the amount of heat released is -7.203 kJ
