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

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

<h3> <em>Aluminum would be the best choice to reuse  copper from the copper chloride solution because it  In the aluminum–copper reaction, the chloride ions help remove the aluminum oxide coating so that a reaction can take place through the oxidation of aluminum and the reduction of copper ions.The aluminum–copper chloride reaction is a simplified version of a waste reclamation and reduction strategy for handling toxic-waste materials. </em></h3>

A 1.00 g sample of a metal X (that is known to form X ions in solution) was added to 127.9 mL of 0.5000 M sulfuric acid. After a
Semenov [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}     .....(1)

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 0.03340 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{0.03340L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.03340L)=0.01670mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of sulfuric acid

So, 0.01670 moles of NaOH will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.01670=0.00835mol of sulfuric acid

Excess moles of sulfuric acid = 0.00835 moles

  • Calculating the moles of sulfuric acid by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 127.9 mL = 0.1279 L    (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.1279L}\\\\\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.1279L)=0.06395mol

Number of moles of sulfuric acid reacted = 0.06395 - 0.00835 = 0.0556 moles

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of metal (forming M^{3+} ion) and sulfuric acid follows:

2X+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow X_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of metal

So, 0.0556 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = \frac{2}{3}\times 0.0556=0.0371mol of metal

  • To calculate the molar mass of metal for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Mass of metal = 1.00 g

Moles of metal = 0.0371 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0371mol=\frac{1.00g}{\text{Molar mass of metal}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of metal}=\frac{1.00g}{0.0371mol}=26.95g/mol

Hence, the metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium
