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.

The greatest molar amount of metal product is obtained from silver (1) nitrate.

Let us determine the mass of metal obtained in each case.

For La^3+;

La^3+ + 3e ----> La

1 mole of La is deposited by 3F

x moles of La is deposited by 10 F

x = 1 × 10/3

x = 3.33 moles

For Zn^2+;

1 mole Zn^2+ is deposited by 2F

x moles of Zn^2+ is deposited by 10 F

x = 5 F

For Ag^+

1 mole of Ag^+ is deposited by 1 F

x moles of Ag^+ is deposited by 10 F

x = 10 moles

For Ba^2+;

1 mole of Ba^2+ is deposited by 2 F

x moles of Ba^2+ is deposited by 10 F

x = 5 moles

Answer:

B. 3+

Explanation:

When Fe²⁺ loses an electron, it becomes an Fe³⁺ ion.

   The loss of an electron in an atom makes the atom becomes positively charged. Further losing electrons makes the atom more positive.

 For the given ion;

 Fe²⁺   if it loses an electron more, it becomes Fe³⁺.

The expression is given as:

         Fe²⁺    →    Fe³⁺  +  e⁻
