The free energy for the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water is -686 kcal/mol, and the free energy for the reduction of NAD+ to

NADH is +53 kcal/mol. Why are only two molecules of NADH formed during glycolysis when it appears that as many as a dozen could be formed?

Answer:

Most of free energy available from oxidation of the glucose remains in pyruvate.

Explanation:

The overall reaction of the process glycolysis is:

Glucose + 2 NAD⁺ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi ⇒ 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H⁺ + 2ATP

Glucose is oxidized to give 2 molecules of pyruvate and 2 molecules of NADH and ATP (Energy currency).

<u>Though the free energy of oxidation of glucose is high but only 2 NADH is formed because the most of the free energy that is being released from the oxidation of glucose remains in the pyruvate which is produced in the reaction and thus only 2 molecules are formed.</u>

A helium balloon is filled on the ground where the atmospheric pressure is 768 torr. The volume of the balloon is 8.00 m3. When
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is: <u>B. 366 torr</u>

Explanation:

Given: <u>On the ground</u>- Initial Volume: V₁ = 8.00 m³, Initial Atmospheric Pressure: P₁= 768 torr;

<u>At 4200 m height</u>- Final Volume: V₂ = 16.80 m³, Final Atmospheric Pressure: P₂ = ?

Amount of gas: n, and Temperature: T = constant

<u>According to the Boyle's Law</u>, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature:         P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

⇒  P₂ = P₁ V₁ ÷ V₂

⇒  P₂ = [(768 torr) × (8.00 m³)] ÷ (16.80 m³)

⇒  P₂ = 365.71 torr ≈ 366 torr

<u>Therefore, the final air pressure at 4200 m height: P₂ = 366 torr.</u>

How many atoms of gold are in a pure gold coin weighing 12.0g?
grigory [225]
12.0g x 1 mol / 63.546g = 0.188839581mol 

<span>So, for every 1 mole, we have 6.022 x 10^23 of whatever we're measuring. This gives us a conversion factor of (1 mole / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms) or (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / 1 mole).
</span>
0.188839581 mol x (6.022 x 10^23 atoms) / 1 mol = 1.137191955 x 10^23 

<span>Remember from before that we are limited to 3 significant figures. Since our calculations are complete, we can now round down to: 1.14 x 10^23 </span>

<span>That should be your answer!

Hope it helps!

Which of the following causes clouds to form? (1 point)
elena-s [515]
The answer is B, early in the morning water covered areas (lakes,ponds,puddles,etc.) will vaporize a little bit because of the heat from the sun and it will continue all day, vapors rise towards the atmosphere and since it's a lot cooler there it will condense into a cloud which is full of tiny frozen water particles. Hope this helps <span />
