Calculate the amount of ATP in kg that is turned over by a resting human every 24 hours. Assume that a typical human contains ~5

0g of ATP (Mr 505) and consumes ~8000 kJ of energy in food each day. The energy stored in the terminal anhydride bond of ATP under standard conditions is 30.6 kJmol-1. Assume also that the dietary energy is channeled through ATP with an energy transfer efficiency of ~50%.

Answer:

The correct answer is 66.35 kilograms.

Explanation:

Based on the data given in the question, the energy consumed by the body of a human being is 50%. Based on the given data, the energy consumed in a day is 8000 kJ, 50 percent is the energy transfer efficiency. Thus, the consumption of total energy is 4000 kJ, and for the transformation of ADP to ATP, the energy involved is 30.6 kJ per mole.  

Hence, the total ATP produced in the process is,  

ATP = 4000 kJ / 30.6 kJ/mol

= 130.7189 mol.  

Thus, with the energy transfer efficiency of 50 percent, the total moles of ATP produced is 130.7 mol.  

The mass of ATP can be calculated by using the formula,  

moles = mass/molecular mass

The molecular mass of ATP is 507.18 g per mol

Now by putting the values we get,  

mass of ATP = 130.7189 mol * 507.18 g/mol

= 66298.011 g or 66.298 kg

It is mentioned that human comprise 50 g of ATP or 0.05 kg of ATP. Therefore, the sum of the available ATP will be.  

= Total production of ATP + Total ATP available

= 66.298 kg + 0.05 kg

= 66.348 kg

Hence, the sum of the ATP that is turned over by a resting human in a day is 66.35 kg.

I need three examples of objects with high density and three with low density!!
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

If 26.2 grams of a pure compound contain 8.77 × 1022 molecules, what is the molecular weight of this compound? Answer in units o
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Mw = 179.845 g/mol

Explanation:

  • Mw [=] g/mol

∴ w = 26.2 g

∴ 1 mol = 6.02 E23 molecules.......Avogadro's number

⇒N° moles = 8.77 E22 molecules * ( mol / 6.02 E23 molecules ) = 0.146 mol

⇒ Mw = 26.2 g / 0.146 mol = 179.845 g/mol

The complete combustion of a sample of propane produced 2.641 grams of carbon dioxide and 1.442 grams of water as the only produ
ohaa [14]
A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:

CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O

Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.

moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C

moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H

Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:

C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67

Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.

The electron cloud model describes which of the following?
HACTEHA [7]
1) The trails left by an electron as it moves around the nucleus
The electron model dictates that the electrons have no fixed position so it traces their path.
2) 8
Atomic number is equivalent to proton number
3) Its mass is lowered, but it is still the same element.
The element's identity is due to the number of protons; however, neutrons play a large role in an atom's mass. Thus, the mass will decrease but the element will be the same. Such variants are called isotopes.
