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>

Question 4(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The quantum number that describes the orientation of an orbital within a sublevel is the magnetic quantum number.

Explanation:

There are four quantum numbers in chemistry. These are the principal quantum number, the angular momentum quantum number, the magnetic quantum number, and the spin quantum number. These all follow these three foundational rules in chemistry.

The Pauli exclusion principle states that if two electrons inhabit the same orbital, they will spin in different directions.

Hund's rule states that if an orbital does not have an electron, an electron will need to fill it first before any of the other orbitals can have two electrons of differing spins.

The Aufbau principle states that all electrons will fill orbitals in an orderly fashion based on the quantum numbers.  An attachment is included of this fill order for your reference.

The four quantum numbers for chemistry are:

The principal quantum number describes the sublevel in which the orbital is located. This occurs at n = 1, 2, 3, etc. all the way to 7.

The angular momentum quantum number describes the orbital that an electron fills. It will refer to the shape and the type of orbital.  

The magnetic quantum number refers to the orientation of an orbital. Based on the angular momentum quantum number, there can be 1, 3, 5, or 7 orientations.

The spin quantum number refers to the Pauli exclusion principle. This number is assigned a negative or positive based on the orientation of the electron.

Therefore, because the magnetic quantum number is the one that refers to <u>the orientation of the orbital</u>, this is our answer.

2. Problem: Is colored or black and white text more easily remembered? Hypothesis: If the text is colored, then the text is more
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

This question contains a lot of subsections. Please find the variables to each question below

Explanation:

Hypothesis is a testable explanation to a scientific question. It aims at proffering a testable solution to an observed problem. It usually goes in an IF, THEN format.

Dependent variable is the variable being measured in an experiment, while the independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter.

The control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment while constant is the variable that is kept unchanged for all groups in the experiment.

Based on this explanation, find the answers to the hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, constant, and control groups to each question.

2. Dependent variable: How easy it is to remember

Independent variable: Color of the text

Control: Group given Black and White text to read

Constants: Same text

3. Hypothesis: If the temperature is increased, THEN the speed of ants increases or move faster

Independent variable: TEMPERATURE

Dependent variable: SPEED OF ANTS

Control: Ants placed in room temperature

Constants: SAME KIND OF ANTS

4. Hypothesis: IF the pH of the soil is acidic or alkaline, THEN the growth of strawberries will be inhibited

Independent variable: pH of soil

Dependent variable: Growth of strawberries

Control: Strawberries grown in a Neutral pH soil

Constants: Same type of plants (strawberries)

5. Hypothesis: IF caffeine is taken, then the blood pressure will be increased or raised.

Independent variable: CAFFEINE

Dependent variable: BLOOD PRESSURE

Control: Group given no caffeine

Constants: Same amount of caffeine

6. Hypothesis: IF music is played, THEN the heart rate increases

Independent variable: MUSIC

Dependent variable: HEART RATE

Control: Groups placed where no music is played

Constants: Same type of music, same time music runs for etc.

7. Hypothesis: IF bleach is present/used, THEN bacteria will die

Independent variable: Bleach

Dependent variable: Death of bacteria

Control: Bacteria given no bleach

Constants: Same species of bacteria, Same type of bleach

The following reaction shows sodium carbonate reacting with calcium hydroxide.
velikii [3]

Ans: 15.1 grams

Given reaction:

Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol

# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH

# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol

Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams
