Answer:

Total ATP molecules produced = 66 molecules of ATP

Explanation:

A 10-carbon fatty acid when it has undergone complete oxidation will yield 5 acetyl-CoA molecules and 4 FADH₂ and 4 NADH molecules each. Each of the 5 acetyl-CoA molecules enters into the citric acid cycle and is completely oxidized to yield further ATP and  FADH₂ and NADH molecules.

The total yield of ATP in the various enzymatic step is calculated below:

Acyl-CoA dehydrodenase = 4 FADH₂

β-Hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase = 4 NADH

Isocitrate dehydrogenase = 5 NADH

α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase = 5 NADH

Succinyl-CoA synthase = 5 ATP (from substrate-level phosphorylation of GDP)

Succinate dehydrogenase = 5 FADH₂

Malate dehydrogenase = 5 NADH

Total ATP  from FADH₂ molecoles = 9 * 1.5 = 13.5

Total NADH molecules = 19 * 2.5 = 47.5

Total ATP molecules produced = 13.5 + 47.5 + 5

Total ATP molecules produced = 66 molecules of ATP

) Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [O2]. If the rate of formation of O2is 7
Travka [436]

Answer:

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.

Explanation:

The rate of the reaction is defined as change in any one of the concentration of reactant or product per unit time.

2O_3\rightleftharpoons 3O_2

Rate of formation of oxygen : 7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s

Rate of the reaction(R) =\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}

R=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}

Rate of formation of oxygen=3 × (R)

7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s=3\times R

Rate of the reaction(R): 0.2593 M/s

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

Rate of disappearance of the ozone:

R=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}

\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=-2\times R=-2\times 0.2593\times M/s=-0.5186M/s

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.

Once formed, how are coordinate covalent bonds different from other covalent bonds?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf {One \ atom \ donates \ both \ electrons \ in \ a \ pair}}}

Explanation:

A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons to make the atoms more stable, and so they satisfy the Octet Rule (8 valence electrons).

Typically each atom contributes an electron to form an electron pair. This is a single bond. There are also double bonds (two pairs of electrons), triple bonds (three pairs of electrons), and coordinate covalent bonds.

Sometimes, to satisfy the Octet Rule and achieve stability, one atom contributes both of the electrons in an electron pair. This is different from other covalent bonds because usually each of the 2 atoms contributes an electron to make a pair.

The change in internal energy for the combustion of 1.0 mol of octane at a pressure of 1.0 atm is -5084.1 kj . f the change in e
TEA [102]

<u>Given:</u>

Change in internal energy = ΔU = -5084.1 kJ

Change in enthalpy = ΔH = -5074.3 kJ

<u>To determine:</u>

The work done, W

<u>Explanation:</u>

Based on the first law of thermodynamics,

ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

the work done by a gas is given as:

W = -PΔV

Therefore:

ΔH = ΔU - W

W = ΔU-ΔH = -5084.1 -(-5074.3) = -9.8 kJ

Ans: Work done is -9.8 kJ

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water ________
Kitty [74]

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.

<h3>What is One Calorie ?</h3>

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature by 1 gram of water through 1°C is known as One Calorie.

1 Calorie = 4.18 J

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.
