Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

In the third step of the citric acid cycle, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released.

Explanation:

In the first step of citric acid cycle, acetylCoA combines with a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon molecule, citrate.

In the second step, the citrate in the presence of enzyme anicotase is converted into isocitrate.

<u>In the third step, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released leaving behind one five-carbon molecule called as α-ketoglutarate. During this step, NAD⁺ is reduced to form NADH. </u>

<u>This is first round of the citric acid cycle that could possibly release a carbon atom originating from this acetyl CoA.</u>

On series of reaction, another carbon dioxide molecule also being relased and oxaloacetate is regenerated again.

If 9.5 × 10²⁵ molecules of CO₂ are produced in a combustion reaction, what is the mass in kg of CO₂ that is produced?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

6.9428 kg of CO2

Explanation:

1) Use Avogadro's number that states 1 mole = 6.022 x 10^23 particles. Convert 9.5 x 10^25 molecules into moles.

9.5 x 10^25 CO2 moleculesx\frac{1 mole CO2}{6.022 x 10^23} = 157.75 moles CO2

2) Convert 157.75 moles of CO2 into grams. CO2's molar mass is 44.01g.

157.75moles CO2 x \frac{44.01g/mol}{1 mole CO2} = 6942.79g

3) Convert 6942.79 grams into kilograms (divide by 1000):

6.9428 kg

In a liquid-liquid extraction, how can you experimentally tell which layer is organic and which layer is aqueous? Can you always
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Liquid-liquid extraction is a very useful method to separate components from a mixture. It consists of separating one or several substances dissolved in a solvent by transferring them to another solvent insoluble or partially insoluble in the first. The transfer of matter is achieved by direct contact between the two liquid phases.

For the extraction process, the solution is placed in a separating funnel, a water-immiscible organic solvent is added (ethyl ether is the most used), the solution with the compound to be separated, the funnel is covered and the funnel is top. Then it shakes. Depending on the solubilities and density, different layers are observed. The denser the compound, the more it will sink.

Since the organic compound is usually much more soluble in ether than in water, most of the organic compound will be dissolved in the ether phase (upper phase) and inorganic salts, which are not soluble in ether, will remain in the aqueous phase ( lower phase). Subsequently, by separating the separating funnel the two phases are separated, the organic phase is collected.

Occasionally, after stirring, the two immiscible liquids do not separate sharply, forming an emulsion in the intermediate zone. This is called the colloidal suspension of a liquid in another (system consisting of two or more phases, usually a liquid and another dispersed in the form of generally very fine solid particles). One of the reasons for the formation of an emulsion is when the two phases have similar densities. Then the relative density of the organic solvent and water cannot always be relied upon, although there are methods to facilitate the complete separation of the two phases.
