Glycolysis is the process by which energy is harvested from glucose by living things. Several of the reactions of glycolysis are

thermodynamically unfavorable (nonspontaneous), but proceed when they are coupled with other reactions.
Reaction A: Pi+glucose⟶glucose-6-phosphate+H2OΔG=13.8 kJ/mol

Reaction B: Pi+fructose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-1,6-bisphosphate+H2OΔG=16.3 kJ/mol

Reaction C: ATP+H2O⟶ADP+PiΔG=−30.5 kJ/mol

Select every unfavorable reaction.

reaction B
reaction C
reaction A

Select every set of coupled reactions where the overall reaction is favorable.

reactions B and C
reactions A and B
reactions A and C

What is the net change in free energy if one set of reactions from the previous question is coupled so that the overall reaction is favorable? Note that if you selected more than one set of coupled reactions as favorable in the previous question, you may enter the net change for any one of your selected sets.

Answer:

Unfavorable reactions: Reaction A and Reaction B.

Coupled reactions favorable: Reactions B and C and Reactions A and C.

Net change:

Reactions B and C : -14.2kJ/mol

Reactions A and B : 30.1kJ/mol

Reactions A and C: -16.7kJ/mol

Explanation:

A reaction is thermodynamically favorable (spontaneous) if ΔG < 0. Thus, the unfavorable reactions -ΔG > 0- are:

Reaction A and reaction B.

When reaction C is coupled with reaction B and reaction A the chemical equation is:

ATP + fructose-1,6-phosphate ⟶ ADP + fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

ΔG = 16.3 - 30.5 = -14.2 kJ/mol

ATP + glucose ⟶ ADP + glucose-6-phosphate

ΔG = 13.8 - 30.5 = -16.7 kJ/mol

The coupled reaction of A and B has a change in free energy of:

ΔG = 13.8 + 16.3 = 30.1 kJ/mol

Which statement best describes what happens when a person sees an orange t-shirt?
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Orange light reflected from the t-shirt enters human eyes.

Explanation:

Human eyes and brain are altogether able to detect the color of the object by translating the light which is reflected by the object and transmitted by the light receptors in the eyes ad brain translate light to color.

The objects are able to absorb some colors and reflect others on the basis of their wavelength, The reflected colors are detected by our eyes and brain and objects appear to be a particular color. like here, the orange color is reflected by the t-shirt and enters in human eyes.

If 27.3% of a sample of silver-112 decays in 1.52 hours, what is the half-life (in hours to 3 decimal places)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All radioactive decay processes undergoes first order reaction.

To calculate the rate constant for first order reaction, we use the integrated rate law equation for first order, which is:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 1.52 hrs

[A_o] = Initial concentration of reactant = 100 g

[A] = Concentration of reactant left after time 't' = [100 - 27.3] = 72.7 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{2.303}{1.52hrs}\log \frac{100}{72.7}\\\\k= 0.2098hr^{-1}

To calculate the half life period of first order reaction, we use the equation:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life period of first order reaction = ?

k = rate constant = 0.2098hr^{-1}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.2098hr^{-1}}\\\\t_{1/2}=3.303hrs

Hence, the half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

What is the mole fraction of O2O2 in a mixture of 15.1 gg of O2O2, 8.19 gg of N2N2, and 2.46 gg of H2H2
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Mole fraction O₂=  0.43

Explanation:

Mole fraction is the moles of gas/ total moles.

Let's determine the moles of each:

Moles O₂ → 15.1 g / 16 g/mol = 0.94

Moles N₂  →  8.19 g / 14 g/mol = 0.013

Moles H₂  → 2.46 / 2 g/mol = 1.23

Total moles = 2.183

Mole fraction O₂= 0.94 / 2.183 → 0.43

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Dolphins use a method called echolocation to detect things such as obstacles and prey in the water. If a dolphin swimming in seawater at 25°C sends a 220-dB click with a frequency of 120.0 Hz, and then detects the reflection of the click exactly one-twentieth of a second later, approximately how far away is the object?
