In the electron transport system, hydrogen atoms removed from NADH ultimately end up as part of _____

Chemistry

Answer: Water H2O

Explanation:

In cellular respiration process NAD+ is a most versatile electron acceptor and functions in several of the redox steps during break down of glucose.

Each NADH molecules formed during respiration represents stored energy that can be tapped to make ATP when the electrons complete their ''fall''down an energy gradient from NADH to oxygen.

Electrons removed from glucose are shuttle by NADH to the ''top'', higher-energy end of the electron transport chain. At the ''bottom'' lower energy end, O2 captures these electrons along with H+ forming water.

Therefore Hydrogen removed from NADH in the ETC is captured by O2 to form water

2H + 1/2O2 ------> H20

Which of these statements would be true if the water molecule was linear instead of bent? Check all that apply.
Katen [24]

If the water molecule was linear instead of bent the water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Yes, If the water molecule was linear instead of bent the water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds.
  • The water would no longer generate hydrogen bonds.
  • It will lose its polar features and nearly all of its features will change such as boiling point, water tension and solubility.
  • It would be more like to gas, rather than liquid.
  • If the water was in the linear, the water would have all the features and it would produce  the hydrogen bonds.

What gets reduced in an electrolytic cell made with nickel and copper electrodes?
jekas [21]

Answer:

D. Ni²⁺  

Explanation:

We know at once that the answer cannot be A or C, because Ni and Cu are already in their lowest oxidation states.

The correct answer must be either B or D.

An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a galvanic cell. In the former, the reaction proceeds spontaneously. In the latter, you must force the reaction to occur.  

One strategy to solve this problem is:

  1. Look up the standard reduction potentials for the half reaction·
  2. Figure out the spontaneous direction.
  3. Write the equation in the reverse direction.

1. Standard reduction potentials

                                E°/V

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; 0.3419

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni;  -0.257

2. Galvanic Cell

We reverse the direction of the more negative half cell and add.

                                       <u>E°/V </u>

Ni ⟶ Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻;           0.257

<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu;      </u>   0.3419

Ni + Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu + Ni²⁺; 0.599

This is the spontaneous direction.

Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu.

3. Electrochemical cell

                                        <u>E°/V</u>

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni;           -0.257

<u>Cu ⟶ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻;        </u> <u>-0.3419</u>

Cu + Ni²⁺ ⟶ Ni + Cu²⁺; -0.599

This is the non-spontaneous direction.

Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni in the electrolytic cell.

Why is NCl3 not soluble in water?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Explanation:

NCl3 does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar molecule which is different with water. NCl3 is nonpolar due to the difference in electronegativities between 3 atoms of Cl and 1 atom if N2.

Match the element with its description. Match Term Definition Potassium A) Great conductor of heat and electricity Barium B) Mal
mezya [45]
<span>Barium - A) Great conductor of heat and electricity Potassium - B) Malleable and highly reactive Boron - C) Has properties of both metals and nonmetals Neon - D) Nonreactive gas Let's look at each element and it's place on the periodic chart to see what matches. Potassium - This is on the far left column for alkali metals. This means it's highly reactive and since it's a metal, it's both malleable and conductive. Looking at the available options, "B) Malleable and highly reactive" is the best choice. Barium - This element is in the second column from the left, so it's a fairly reactive metal, but not nearly as reactive as Potassium above. So "A) Great conductor of heat and electricity" is the best choice here, although I wouldn't call it "great". The resistivity of barium is about 20 times larger than copper. Boron - This element is about in the middle of the periodic chart, so it does have the properties of both metals and nonmetals. So "C) Has properties of both metals and nonmetals" is the best choice. Neon - This is in the far right column for noble gasses. Very non-reactive. So "D) Nonreactive gas" is the best choice.</span>
