Glycolysis is the process by which energy is harvested from glucose by living things. Several of the reactions of glycolysis are

thermodynamically unfavorable (nonspontaneous), but proceed when they are coupled with other reactions.
Which of these reactions is (are) unfavorable?
Reaction A: Pi+glucose⟶glucose-6-phosphate+H2OΔG=13.8 kJ/mol
Reaction B: Pi+fructose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-1,6-bisphosphate+H2OΔG=16.3 kJ/mol
Reaction C: ATP+H2O⟶ADP+PiΔG=−30.5 kJ/mol
A. A
B. B
C. C
Which of these reactions can be coupled so that overall reaction is favorable?
A. A and B
B. A and C
C. B and C
What is the net change in free energy if one selection from part (b) is coupled so that the overall reaction is favorable?

Answer:

1. Options A and B

2. Options B and C

3.. B. Net ∆G = -16.7 KJ/mol; C. Net ∆G = -14.2 KJ/mol

Explanation:

1. The spontaneity of a chemical reaction depends on its standard free energy change, ∆G. If ∆G is negative, the reaction is favourable, but when it is positive, the reaction is unfavorable.

Therefore, since reaction A and B have ∆G to be positive, they are unfavorable

2. Coupling an unfavorable reaction to a favourable reaction can help the reaction to proceed in the forward direction as long as the net free energy change is negative.

Coupling reaction A and C, as well as reaction B and C will make the reactions to become favourable as net ∆G is negative in both instances.

3. A and C: net ∆G = 13.8 - 30.5 = -16.7 KJ/mol

B and C: net ∆G = 16.3- 30.5 = -14.2 KJ/mol

Law of Conservation of Mass in terms of atoms
VARVARA [1.3K]

No atoms are lost or made during the chemical reaction so the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In an atom, protons and neutrons contribute to the mass and since the number of them doesn’t change, the mass doesn’t either.

A certain radioactive nuclide has a half life of 1.00 hour(s). Calculate the rate constant for this nuclide. s-1 Calculate the d
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

k= 1.925×10^-4 s^-1

1.2 ×10^20 atoms/s

Explanation:

From the information provided;

t1/2=Half life= 1.00 hour or 3600 seconds

Then;

t1/2= 0.693/k

Where k= rate constant

k= 0.693/t1/2 = 0.693/3600

k= 1.925×10^-4 s^-1

Since 1 mole of the nuclide contains 6.02×10^23 atoms

Rate of decay= rate constant × number of atoms

Rate of decay = 1.925×10^-4 s^-1 ×6.02×10^23 atoms

Rate of decay= 1.2 ×10^20 atoms/s

A student sees a change in mass in the lab when mixing two chemicals what is a possible explanation?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The mixing of two chemicals may result in the production of a gas which is lost to the air. This will reduce the mass of the chemical mixture, because mass is being lost in a gaseous form.
