What are the correct units of measure for molarity?

If each NADHNADH generates 3 ATPATP molecules and each FADH2FADH2 generates 2 ATPATP molecules, calculate the number of ATPATP m

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$128~ATP$

Explanation:

The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called "beta-oxidation". In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing 2 carbons from the fatty acid for each acetyl-Coa produced. In other words, for each round, 1 acetyl Coa is produced and for each round 2 carbons are removed from the initial fatty acid. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the number of rounds that will take place for an 18-carbon fatty acid using the following equation:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{n}{2}-1$

Where "n" is the number of carbons, in this case "18", so:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{18}{2}-1~=~8$

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

$Number~of~Acetyl-Coa=\frac{18}{2}~=~9$

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the production of 1 $FADH_2$ and 1 $NADH$ . So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8 $FADH_2$ and 8 $NADH$ .

Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the yield for each compound:

-) $1~FADH_2~=~2~ATP$

-) $1~NADH~=~3~ATP$

-) $Acetyl~CoA~=~10~ATP$

Now we can do the total calculation:

$(8*2)~+~(8*3)~+~(9*10)=130~ATP$

We have to subtract "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the activation of the fatty acid, so:

$130-2=128~ATP$

In total, we will have 128 ATP.

I hope it helps!

a concentration solution of H2so4 is 59.4% by mass (m/m) and has a density of 1.83 g/mL. How many mL of the solution would be re

Blababa [14]

Answer: 41.5 mL

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in L

Given : 59.4 g of $H_2SO_4$ in 100 g of solution

moles of $H_2SO_4=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{59.4g}{98g/mol}=0.61$

Volume of solution = $\frac{\text {mass of solution}}{\text {density of solution}}=\frac{100g}{1.83g/ml}=54.6ml$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

$Molality=\frac{0.61\times 1000}{54.6ml}=11.2M$

To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralisation reaction:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of stock acid which is $H_2SO_4$

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of dilute acid which is $H_2SO_4$

We are given:

$M_1=11.2M\\V_1=mL\\M_2=0.30M\\V_2=1550mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$11.2\times V_1=0.30\times 1550\\\\V_1=41.5mL$

Thus 41.5 mL of the solution would be required to prepare 1550 mL of a .30M solution of the acid

Automobile bodies contain significant amounts of iron. The iron is protected by the addition of zinc. This is called galvanizati

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Galvanization is defined as the process in which a protective layer of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent the metal from rusting.

Zinc prevents the oxidation of iron and acts as a reducing agent in the process.

The half reaction for the process follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

Net chemical equation: $Zn+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Fe$

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
