The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate is energetically unfavorable by 9.2 kJ. The reaction of ATP with water

to yield ADP, hydrogen phosphate ion, and hydrogen ion is energetically favorable by 30.5 kJ. These reactions are coupled so that the overall process is energetically favorable. What is ΔG for the overall process?

Answer:

ΔG for overall reaction :  -21.3 kJ

Explanation:

Reaction of the conversion of glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate is unfavorable and thus is coupled with second reaction that involves the conversion of ATP to ADP which is highly energetically favorable.

Reaction 1:  Glycerol + HPO₄²⁻ ⇒ Glycerol-3-phosphate + water

Reaction 2:             ATP  + H₂O ⇒ ADP + HPO₄²⁻ + H⁺

ΔG for reaction 1 : 9.2 kJ (non-spontaneous : Positive value)

ΔG for reaction 2 : -30.5 kJ (spontaneous : Negative value)

The overall coupled reaction is:

<u>Glycerol + ATP ⇒ Glycerol-3-phosphate + ADP + H⁺</u>

<u>ΔG for overall reaction : 9.2 kJ + (-30.5 kJ) = -21.3 kJ</u>

negative sign signifies that the overall reaction is spontaneous.

Balance the following reaction. A coefficient of "1" is understood. Choose option "blank" for the correct answer if the
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

2NH₂ + O₂ → N₂ + 2H₂O

<u>Explanation:</u>

Balancing the equation means, the number of atoms on both sides of the equation must be the same.

In the case of the given equation, we have to find out whether it is balanced or not.

2NH₂ + O₂ →  N₂ + 2H₂O

Atoms       Number of atoms before balancing     after balancing

                 LHS                 RHS                                    LHS         RHS

N               1                        2                                            2              2

H               2                       2                                            4              4                        

O               2                       1                                            2                2

To balance the N atoms, we have to put 2 in front of NH₂, and then to balance the H, O atoms, we have to put 2 in front of H₂O, so that each atom in left hand as well as right hand side of the equation was balanced.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

D. 34.5g

Explanation:

Using the following formula to calculate the mass of 1.5moles of sodium (Na);

Mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Na = 23g/mol

mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Na = 1.5mol × 23g/mol

Mass of Na = 34.5g
