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 body was found with no evidence of rigor.
musickatia [10]
The person has just died or has been dead for 36-48 hours 2. A body was found exhibiting rigor throughout the entire body. ... The body has been dead for about 6-8 hours because rigor mortis takes 12 hours to compute so it must be before 12 hours but over 6.

Diana raises a 1000. N piano a distance of 5.00 m using a set of pulleys. She pulls
Alina [70]

Answer:

a) 250 N

b) 50 N

c) 5000 J

d) 4

e) 3.33

Explanation:

Given that weight of piano (F_r) = 1000 N, distance moved by pulley (d_r) = 5 m and the rope used (d_e) =20 m

a) The effort applied (F_e) if it was an ideal machine is:

F_e=\frac{F_rd_r}{d_e} = \frac{1000*5}{20}=250N

b) If the actual effort  = 300 N

The force to overcome friction = actual effort - F_e = 300 - 250 = 50 N

c) Work output = F_rd_r=1000*5=5000J

d) ideal mechanical  advantage (IMA) = \frac{d_e}{d_r} =\frac{20}{5} = 4

e) Input force = 300 N, Therefore:

actual mechanical advantage = F_r / input force = 1000 / 300 = 3.33

 What is the concentration of 10.00 mL of HBr if it takes 16.73 mL of a 0.253 M LiOH solution to neutralize it?    
lesya692 [45]
I divided the volume by a 1000 because it must be in litres, but it wont make any difference because they will cancel out, but you must always convert it to L or dm3 unless it says in the question something else.
