17. Overall the drop in reduction potential from NADH to water is equivalent to the energy needed to synthesize six or seven mol

ecules of ATP, yet only about 2.5 molecules of ATP are actually synthesized? How does this apparent thermodynamic inefficiency allow ATP synthesis to be achieved? What would happen if the system were 100% efficient?

Answer:

The ATP synthesis is achieved by the generation of proton motive force(PMF).

Explanation:

The proton motive force is generated by the transport of electrons from intermembrane space to matrix of mitocondria. The proton motive force is utilized by FO F1  ATPase to generate ATP from the phosphorylation of ADP and inorganic phosphate(Pi).

       If the system were 100% efficient then 64 molecules of of ATP can be generated from the complete oxidation of 1 molecule of glucose by aerobic respiration.

What is the total number of hydrogen atoms contained in one molecule of (NH4)2C204?
Ber [7]

Answer:

=8 atoms

Explanation:

In (NH4)2C2O4 there are four moles of Hydrogen in the compound (NH4), but there two molecules of (NH4) in this compound.  That's what the 2 in (NH4)2 means, so multiply 4 x 2 = 8.

Hope this helps (:

Write the cell notation for an electrochemical cell consisting of an anode where Mn (s) is oxidized to Mn2 (aq) and a cathode wh
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Mn(s)/Mn^2+(aq)//Co^2+(aq)/Co(s)

Explanation:

In writing the cell notation for an electrochemical cell, the anode is written on the left hand side while the cathode is written on the right hand side. The two half cells are separated by two thick lines which represents the salt bridge.

For the cell discussed in the question; the Mn(s)/Mn^2+(aq) is the anode while the Co^2+(aq)/Co(s) half cell is the cathode.

Hence I can write; Mn(s)/Mn^2+(aq)//Co^2+(aq)/Co(s)

If 72.5 grams of calcium metal (Ca) react with 65.0 grams of oxygen gas (O2) in a synthesis reaction, how many grams of the exce
Natali5045456 [20]
2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)

65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.

Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)

=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over
