Mannoheptulose is a sugar found in avocados. If each C-C bond contains 76 kcal of energy and each C-H bond contains 91 kcal, how
many kcal of energy are available through the complete catabolism of this sugar
1 answer:
Answer:
Total Kcal energy produced in the catabolism of mannoheptulose = 1184 Kcal
Explanation:
The molecular formula of mannoheptulose is C₇H₁₄O₇.
The structure is as shown in the attachment below.
Number of C-C bonds present in mannoheptulose = 6
Number of C-H bonds present in mannoheptulose = 8
Since the each C-C bond contains 76 Kcal of energy,
Amount of energy present in six C-C bonds = 6 * 76 = 456 Kcal
Also, since each C-H bond contains 91 Kcal of energy;
amount of energy present in eight C-H bonds = 8 * 91 = 728 Kcal
Total Kcal energy produced in the catabolism of mannoheptulose = 456 + 728 = 1184 Kcal

Answer:
Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr
Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr
Explanation:
Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.
In the first solution:
<em>(1)</em>
For the second equation:
<em>(2)</em>
Replacing (2) in (1):
-122.5torr = -0.250P°A
<em>Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr</em>
And for benzene:
<em>Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr</em>
