Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Which chemical equation represents a redox reaction? A. Mg(ClO3)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2HClO3   B. CO + H2O → H2 + CO2 C. 2NH4NO3 + CuCl2 → 2NH4Cl + Cu(NO3)2 D. Na2SO3 + FeBr2 → 2NaBr + FeSO3 "

Answer:

B. CO + H2O → H2 + CO2

Explanation:

The reactions that involve loss and gain of electrons are called oxide-reduction reactions. In the oxidation reaction, electrons are lost, while the reduction reaction consists of gaining electrons.

Oxidation can occur in three circumstances: when oxygen is added to the substance, when a substance loses hydrogen or when the substance loses electrons. Example: fruit salads tend to darken when they come into contact with air, this is because oxygen acts to promote fruit oxidation. A tip to avoid this is to add lemon or orange juice, as the vitamin C present in citrus fruits prevents the oxidizing action of oxygen on the salad.

Reduction, in turn, is the reverse and also occurs in three ways: when a substance loses oxygen, when it gains hydrogen or when it gains electrons. Example: when the copper oxide (black) is placed in an appropriate apparatus (chamber) for its reduction to occur, the hydrogen gas comes in contact with the super heated copper oxide and, as a result, it loses oxygen and gradually goes away. turning pink as it is being reduced to copper.

An example of a redox reaction is CO + H2O → H2 + CO2

Answer:

Assign oxidation numbers to all atoms in the equation.

Compare oxidation numbers from the reactant side to the product side of the equation.

The element oxidized is the one whose oxidation number increased.

Calculate total ATP produced from a fatty acid of 32 carbons
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules

Explanation:

A 32 carbon fatty acid which undergoes complete beta-oxidation assuming that the fatty acid is fully saturated will pass through the beta-oxidation cycle 14 times to produce the following:

15 molecules of acetylCoA, 14 molecules of FADH₂, and 14 molecules of NADH.

Each of the 15 acetylCoA molecules can be further oxidized in the citric acid cycle to yield the following: 15 × 3 NADH; 15 × 1 FADH₂, and 15 ATP molecules from the substrate level phosphorylation occuring at the succinylCoA synthetase catalyzed-reaction.

Total FADH₂ produced = 15 + 14 = 29 molecules of FADH₂

Total NADH produced = 45 + 14 = 59 molecules of NADH

The FADH₂ and NADH will each donate a pair of electrons to the electron transfer flavoprotein and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase respectively of the electron transport chain, and about 1.5 and 2.5 molecules of ATP are generated respectively when these electrons are transfered to molecular oxygen.

Thus, number of molecules of ATP generated by 29 molecules of FADH₂ = 1.5 × 29 = 43.5 molecules of ATP.

Number of molecules of ATP generated by 59 molecules of NADH = 2.5 × 59 = 147.5

Sum of ATP generated from FADH₂ and NADH = 43.5 + 147.5 = 191 ATP molecules

Total number of ATP molecules generated = 191 + 15 = 206 ATP molecules

Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules

What is the final pressure of a system (atm) that has the volume increased from 0.75 l to 1.1 l with an initial pressure of 1.25
lana66690 [7]
Boyle's law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume of gas at constant temperature 
PV = k
where P - pressure , V - volume and k - constant 
P1V1 = P2V2
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
substituting these values in the equation 
1.25 atm x 0.75 L = P x 1.1 L
P = 0.85 atm 
final pressure is B) 0.85 atm
