Answer:

Explanation:

412 ATP's will be generated from the complete metabolic oxidation of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol)

130 ATP from the oxidation of palmitate

22 ATP from the oxidation of glycerol

Altogether 130 + 22 = 412 ATP will be produced.

Here in case of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol), we have 51 carbons.

When 51 carbons can produce 412 ATPs

Then 1 carbon will produce how many ATPs = 412 ATPs/ 51 carbon= 8.1 ATPs.

This shows that ATP yield per carbon often oxidized will be 8.1 ATPs

Now we will see the ATP yield in the case of glucose.

Glucose is made up of 6 carbon and complete oxidation of glucose will produce 38 ATPs

When 6 carbons can yield 38 ATPs

Then 1 carbon can yield how many ATPs= 38 ATPs/ 6 carbons= 6.33 ATPs.

So, ATP yield per carbon in case of glucose will be 6.33 ATPs

Balance the following reaction: AL2O3 + HCI ⇒ ALCI3 + H2O
Anastaziya [24]
To balance the following chemical equation, make a tally or a count of each of the atoms on both sides of the reaction, and make sure that those atoms are equal on both the reactant and product side.

AL2O3 + HCl => ALCl3 + H2O

Left side. Right side
AL = 2. AL = 1
O = 3 Cl = 3
H = 1. H = 2
Cl = 1. O = 1

First balance the metal atoms, aluminum, then hydrogen and then oxygen.

Balanced equation :
AL2O3 + 6HCl => 2ALCl3 + 3H2O.

Left side. Right side
AL = 2 AL = 2
O = 3 Cl = 6
H = 6 H = 6
Cl = 6 O = 3.

In this experiment, 0.070 g of caffeine is dissolved in 4.0 ml of water. The caffeine is then extracted from the aqueous solutio
Damm [24]

2.0ml of methylene chloride solution is used each time to extract caffeine from the aqueous solution.  

Consider the concentration of caffeine obtained during each individual extraction from the aqueous solution to be C.  

The total amount of caffeine obtained during each extraction is calculated as

(Total volume of water used to make up the caffeine aqueous solution) x (concentration of caffeine obtained during each individual extraction from the aqueous solution) + (Volume of methylene chloride added during each extraction x distribution coefficient of caffeine x concentration of caffeine obtained during each individual extraction from the aqueous solution)  


Substituting these values we get                                                            

The total amount of caffeine obtained during each extraction                

 = (4.0×C )+ (2.0×4.6 × C)                                                                              

= 13.2 C


The amount of caffeine remaining in the aqueous solution is calculated as  

(Total volume of water used to make up the caffeine aqueous solution) x (concentration of caffeine obtained during each individual extraction from the aqueous solution)


Substituting these values we get                                                            

The amount of caffeine remaining in the aqueous solution = 4 × C                                                                                            

The fraction of caffeine remaining in aqueous solution is calculated as  

= (The total amount of caffeine obtained during each extraction)/ (The amount of caffeine remaining in the aqueous solution)                    

=4.0 C/13.2 C                                                                                                

= 1/3.3.  

Therefore the fraction of caffeine left in aqueous solution after 3 extractions is =(1/3.3)^3  =0.028

Therefore, the total amount of caffeine extracted                            

=0.070 × (1-(1/3.3)^3)                                                                                      

= 0.068 g

The energy produced by the snack in an experiment is calculated to be 41,800 J/g. What is the energy of the snack in Calories/
Goryan [66]

The energy of the snack in calories per gram is 9983.3 Calories/gram.

<h3>What is the energy of a snack?</h3>

The energy that is contained in a snack is obtained from a calorimeter when the snack is burnt in a calorimeter. The mass of the snack that is burnt is measured in terms of energy output of the calorimeter.

If  1 calorie = 4.18J

x calorie = 41,800 J

x = 41,800 J * 1 calorie/4.18J

x = 9983.3 Calories/gram
