In yeast, ethanol is produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. A cell‑free yeast extract is placed in a solution that co

ntains 325 mmol glucose, 0.35 mmol ADP , 0.35 mmol P i , 0.70 mmol ATP , 0.20 mmol NAD + , and 0.20 mmol NADH . It is kept under anaerobic conditions. What is the maximum amount of ethanol (in millimoles) that could theoretically be produced under these conditions?

Answer:

650 mmol.

Explanation:

The equation for the fermentation of one mole of glucose is:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 2 NAD⁺ + 2 ADP + 2 P i + 2 NADH → 2 EtOH + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 NAD⁺

Since NAD⁺/NADH is used and regenerated, we can eliminate it from the equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 2 ADP + 2 P i  → 2 EtOH + 2 ATP

With the equation, we calculate the maximum amount of ethanol that could be obtained theoretically:

1000 mmol C₆H₁₂O₆ ------------ 2000 mmol EtOH

325 mmol C₆H₁₂O₆ ------------- x= 650 mmol EtOH

Therefore, the maximum amount of ethanol that could be produced is 650 mmol.

Which statement justifies that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a polar molecule?
Rudik [331]
To determine whether a compound is polar or nonpolar you have to take into account:

1) formation of dipoles due to the difference in electronegativities of the atoms

2) shape of the molecule to conclude whether there is a net dipole momentum.

You already, likely, know that the electronegativities of H and O are significatively different, being O more electronegative thatn H. So, you can conclude easilty that the electrons are atracted more by O than by H, thus creating two dipoles H→O

Regarding the shape, it may appear that the molecule is symmetrical, which would lead to the cancellation of the two dipoles. But that is not the true. The H2O2 is not symmetrical.

The lewis structure just show this shape

      **   **
H - O - O - H
      **   **

which is what may induce to think that the molecule is symmetrical, leading to the misconception that it is nonpolar.

But in a three dimensional arrangement you could see that the hydrogens are placed in non symmetrical positions, which leads to the formation of a net dipole momentum, and thus to a polar molecule.

The fact that H2O2 is a polar compound is the reason why it can be mixed with water and the H2O2 that you buy in the pharmacy is normally a solution in water.

So, the hydrogen peroxide is polar because the hydrogens are not placed symmetrically in the molecule, which result in a net dipole momentum.

__________ often cause overactive eye movement. A. Stimulants B. Depressants C. Barbiturates D. None of the above
jeka57 [31]

<u>Stimulants </u> often cause overactive eye movement

Ans (A)

Stimulants are a class of psychoactive drugs that increase the brain activity. They work by acting on the central nervous system and increase the level of mental alertness and impart heightened cognitive functions. Stimulants like nicotine and cocaine cause overactive eye movement.

Helium gas in a cylinder is under 1.12atm pressure at 25.0C. What will be the pressure if the temperature increases to 37.0C?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

p_2=1.17atm

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering that the Gay-Lussac's law allows us to relate the temperature-pressure problems as directly proportional relationships:

\frac{p_2}{T_2} =\frac{p_1}{T_1} \\\\

Thus, for the initial pressure and temperature in kelvins the final temperature in kelvins, we compute the final pressure as:

p_2=\frac{p_1T_2}{T_1} \\\\p_2=\frac{1.12atm*310.15K}{298.15K}\\\\p_2=1.17atm

Best regards!
