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>

Describe the photoelectric effect and explain why it made modifications to the Rutherford model necessary.
Furkat [3]
<span>Photoelectric effect refer to the emission of electron or free carriers when light shine into a material. According to the Rutherford model, light of any energy should be able to make electrons leave the atom and be emitted. The energy of the emitted electrons should be related to the intensity of the light. But the energy of the electron is actually only related to the energy of the light</span>

State the relationship between electron configuration and location of an element in the period table
inn [45]

Answer:

elements in same group have same valence electron.

period of element is equal to valence shell

Explanation:

if the elements are in a same group then they will be having same number of valence electron.

the period of an element in periodic table is equal to the valence shell of the element. that is if the valence electron are in 3 rd shell then the element will be in third period.
