Assume that the maximum number of ATPs is produced (38). At pH 7, and in the presence of excess Mg2 , how much of the energy in

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

In one mole of glucose 38 ATP energy is stored this accounts for only 40 per-cent of the total energy in glucose.

Explanation:

In standard conditions, during the cellular respiration 1 mole of Glucose in the presence of oxygen produces 36 or 38 ATPs. This accounts for only 40% of the total energy as the remaining 60 per-cent of the energy is dissipated as heat.

I mole of glucose enters the glycolysis step of aerobic cellular respiration which after oxidative phosphorylation and Electron transport chain would give 38 ATP molecules.

It can be said that only 38.3% of energy is put in ATP molecules.

In the laboratory you dissolve 13.9 g of potassium phosphatein a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 250mL.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Molarity of the solution? 0,262 M.

Concentration of the potassium cation? 0,786 M.

Concentration of the phosphate anion? 0,262 M.

Explanation:

Potassium phosphate (K₃PO₄; 212,27 g/mol) dissolves in water thus:

K₃PO₄ → 3 K⁺ + PO₄³⁻ (1)

Molarity is an unit of chemical concentration given in moles of solute (K₃PO₄) per liters of solution.

There are 250 mL of solution≡0,25 L

The moles of K₃PO₄ are:

13,9 g of K₃PO₄ × $\frac{1mol}{212,27 g}$ = 0,0655 moles of K₃PO₄

The molarity of the solution is:

$\frac{0,0655 moles}{0,25L}$ = 0,262 M

In (1) you can see that 1 mole of K₃PO₄ produces 3 moles of potassium cation. The moles of potassium cation are:

0,0655 moles×3 = 0,1965 moles

The concentration is:

$\frac{0,1965 moles}{0,25L}$ = 0,786 M

The moles of K₃PO₄ are the same than moles of PO₄³⁻, thus, concentration of phosphate anion is the same than concentration of K₃PO₄. 0,262 M

I hope it helps!

What is the freezing point depression of a solution that contains 0.705?

Sveta_85 [38]

Colligative properties calculations are used for this type of problem. Calculations are as follows:

ΔT(freezing point) = (Kf)m
ΔT(freezing point) = 1.86 °C kg / mol (0.705)
ΔT(freezing point) = 1.3113 °C

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

5) Read each Eco fact. Propose a solution to prevent the environmental problems of the

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The creation of regulations that limit timber activities and the exploitation of wood can prevent soil erosion in Troy.

Explanation:

The exploitation of the wood was an intense activity and that did not have any regulation that would limit its damages, caused by its exploratory activities.

As the timber market was totally undisciplined, the exploitation of the wood caused a strong deforestation, leaving the soil totally unprotected and susceptible to strong erosion.

Soil erosion has a very negative impact on the environment, requiring regulations to be made to prevent this from happening.

Based on this, we can say that one way to prevent environmental problems in the seaport of troy is by establishing laws and regulations that limit logging activities.
