Explanation:
To convert moles to particles or grams to particles, let us have a firm understanding of what a mole is.
A mole is the unit of measuring quantity of particles.
It is the amount of substance that contains the Avogadro's number of particles.
The particle can be atoms, molecules, formula units, electrons, protons, neutrons, etc.
So, to convert from moles to particles;
1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles
To convert from grams to particles;
First convert to moles;
number of moles =
So, 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles
Answer:
c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.
Explanation:
Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.
Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
(a) Intermediates
The three structures below represent one contributor to the resonance-stabilized intermediate, in which the lone pair electrons on the heteroatom are participating (the + charge on the heteroatoms do not show up very well).
(b) Relative Stabilities
The relative stabilities decrease in the order shown.
N is more basic than O, so NH₂ is the best electron donating group (EDG) and will best stabilize the positive charge in the ring. However, the lone pair electrons on the N in acetanilide are also involved in resonance with the carbonyl group, so they are not as available for stabilization of the ring.
(c) Relative reactivities
The relative reactivities would be
C₆H₅-NH₂ > C₆H₅-OCH₃ > C₆H₅-NHCOCH₃
The uranium within these items is radioactive and should be treated with care. Uranium's most stable isotope, uranium-238, has a half-life of about 4,468,000,000 years. It decays into thorium-234 through alpha decay or decays through spontaneous fission.
