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

Given the unbalanced equation:
maw [93]

Answer:

Option (2) 2

Explanation:

NO3- + 4H+ + Pb → Pb2+ + NO2 + 2H2O

The equation above can be balance as follow:

There are 3 atoms of the left side and a total of 4 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front NO3- and 2 in front of NO2 as shown below:

2NO3- + 4H+ + Pb → Pb2+ + 2NO2 + 2H2O

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficient of NO2 is 2

An ionic bond can be formed when one or more electrons are 1) equally shared by two atoms 2) unequally shared by two atoms 3) tr
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

4) transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom

Explanation:

Electrons are located outside of the nucleus which contains the protons and the neutrons.

For bonds to form, valence electrons located in the outermost shell electrons are involved. These are the valence electrons. These outer shell electrons can be shared or transferred between two combining atoms to form stable atoms.

In ionic bonds, the electrons are transferred from one specie to another. The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged and the receiving atom becomes negatively charged. This is the crux of ionic bonds.

A 720. cm^3 vessel contains a mixture of Ar and Xe. If the mass of the gas mixture is 2.966 g at 25.0°C and the pressure is 760.
sleet_krkn [62]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      Pressure (P) = 760 torr = 1 atm

      Volume (V) = 720 cm^{3} = 0.720 L

     Temperature (T) = 25^{o}C = (25 + 273) K = 298 K

Using ideal gas equation, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

                                PV = nRT

   Total atoms present (n) = \frac{PV}{RT}

                                          = 1 \times \frac{0.720 L}{0.0821 \times 298}

                                           = 0.0294 mol

Let us assume that there are x mol of Ar and y mol of Xe.

Hence, total number of moles will be as follows.

               x + y = 0.0294

Also,      40x + 131y = 2.966

             x = 0.0097 mol

              y = (0.0294 - 0.0097)

                = 0.0197 mol

Therefore, mole fraction will be calculated as follows.

Mol fraction of Xe = \frac{y}{(x+y)}

                               = \frac{0.0197}{0.0294}

                              = 0.67

Therefore, the mole fraction of Xe is 0.67.
