Answer:
a) Keq = 4.5x10^-6
b) [oxaloacetate] = 9x10^-9 M
c) 23 oxaloacetate molecules
Explanation:
a) In the standard state we have to:
ΔGo = -R*T*ln(Keq) (eq.1)
ΔGo = 30.5 kJ/moles = 30500 J/moles
R = 8.314 J*K^-1*moles^-1
Clearing Keq:
Keq = e^(ΔGo/-R*T) = e^(30500/(-8.314*298)) = 4.5x10^-6
b) Keq = ([oxaloacetate]*[NADH])/([L-malate]*[NAD+])
4.5x10^-6 = ([oxaloacetate]/(0.20*10)
Clearing [oxaloacetate]:
[oxaloacetate] = 9x10^-9 M
c) the radius of the mitochondria is equal to:
r = 10^-5 dm
The volume of the mitochondria is:
V = (4/3)*pi*r^3 = (4/3)*pi*(10^-15)^3 = 4.18x10^-42 L
1 L of mitochondria contains 9x10^-9 M of oxaloacetate
Thus, 4.18x10^-42 L of mitochondria contains:
molecules of oxaloacetate = 4.18x10^-42 * 9x10^-9 * 6.023x10^23 = 2.27x10^-26 = 23 oxaloacetate molecules
Answer:
A. Carboxyl group
Explanation:
The carboxyl group is an organic functional group in chemistry that consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and singly linked to a hydroxyl group. Another way to think about it is as a carbonyl group (C=O) with an attached hydroxyl group (O-H).
Marine food chains at risk of collapse, extensive study of world's oceans finds. ... The acidification of the ocean, where the pH of water drops as it absorbs carbon dioxide, will make it hard for creatures such as coral, oysters and mussels to form the shells and structures that sustain them.
Answer:
c. 2.16 × 10^8 kJ
Explanation:
In the given question, 2 C-12 nuclei were used for the reaction and the mass of C-12 is 12.0000 amu. Therefore, for 2 C-12 nuclei, the mass is 2*12.0000 = 24.0000 amu.
In addition, a Na-23 and a H-1 were formed in the process. The combined mass of the products is 22.989767+1.007825 = 23.997592 amu
The mass of the reactant is different from the mass of the products. The difference = 24.0000 amu - 23.997592 amu = 0.002408 amu.
Theoretically, 1 amu = 1.66054*10^-27 kg
Thus, 0.002408 amu = 0.002408*1.66054*10^-27 kg = 3.99858*10^-30 kg
This mass difference is converted to energy and its value can be calculated using:
E = mc^2 = 3.99858*10^-30 *(299792458)^2 = 3.59374*10^-13 J
Furthermore, 1 mole of hydrogen nuclei contains 6.022*10^23 particles. Thus, we have:
E = 3.59374*10^-13 * 6.022*10^23 = 2.164*10^11 J = 2.164*10^8 kJ
