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.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Acidipic Acid <u><em>(which is an essential dicarboxylic acid for manufacturing purposes with about 2. 5 billion kilograms produced per year. It is mainly used for the production of nylon and its related materials.)</em></u>

Going by the question, since the H_{2}  CrO_{4} is comparatively mild oxidizing agent than the CrO_{3}, it only oxidizes the carbon group

If you start with 64g of a radioactive element how many half-lives would occur before 8g remain?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

3 half-lives

Explanation:

The half-life is the time that it takes to a radioactive element to decay to half of its initial amount.

Let's suppose we start with 64 g of the radioactive element.

  • After 1 half-life, the mass of the element will be 32 g.
  • After 2 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 16 g.
  • After 3 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 8 g.

Given the following equation, how many grams of PbCO3 will dissolve when exactly 1.0 L of 1.00 M H+ is added to 6.00 g of PbCO3?
9966 [12]
Calculating for the moles of H+
1.0 L x (1.00 mole / 1 L ) = 1 mole H+

From the given balanced equation, we can use the stoichiometric ratio to solve for the moles of PbCO3:
1 mole H+ x (1 mole PbCO3 / 2 moles H+) = 0.5 moles PbCO3

Converting the moles of PbCO3 to grams using the molecular weight of PbCO3
0.5 moles PbCO3 x (267 g PbCO3 / 1 mole PbCO3) = 84.5 g PbCO3

The rate of a certain reaction is given by the following rate law: rate Use this information to answer the question below. At a
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Initial rate of the reaction when concentration of hydrogen gas is doubled will be 3.2\times 10^6 M/s.

Explanation:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

Initial rate of the reaction = R = 4.0\times 10^5 M/s

R = k\times [N_2][H_2]^3

4.0\times 10^5 M/s=k\times [N_2][H_2]^3

The initial rate of the reaction when concentration of hydrogen gas is doubled : R'

[H_2]'=2[H_2]

R'=k\times [N_2][H_2]'^3=k\times [N_2][2H_2]^3

R'=8\times k\times [N_2][H_2]^3

R'=8\times R=8\times 4\times 10^5 M/s=3.2\times 10^6 M/s

Initial rate of the reaction when concentration of hydrogen gas is doubled will be 3.2\times 10^6 M/s.

A student needed to make 100.0 mL of 0.20M NaOH solution. How many grams of sodium hydroxide does the student need to weigh out
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.08 g

Explanation:

100.0 mL = 0.10 L

Multiply the volume by the molarity to find moles.

0.10 L × 0.20 M = 0.002 mol

Convert moles to grams.

0.002 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.08 g
