Answer:
-219.99kJ
Explanation:
The acronym '' NADH'' simply stands for what is known as coenzyme 1 with full meaning of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Hydride. This substance is useful in the production of energy. The oxidation reaction of NADH causes it to produce NADP⁺ and the oxygen produces water when it is in the reduction process. The balanced equation for the oxidation reaction is given below as:
NADPH ---------------------------------------------------------------------> NADP⁺H⁺ + 2e⁻.
Also, the balanced equation for the reduction reaction is given below as:
O₂ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ --------------------------------------------------------------> H₂O.
It can be shown from the above REDOX reaction that the total number of electrons getting transferred is 2.
The Gibbs energy = -nFE. where n = 2, F = faraday's constant = 96485.3329 C and E = overall cell potential.
The overall cell potential = E[ reduction reaction] - E[oxidation reaction] = 0.82 - (- 0.32 ) = 1.14 V.
Hence, the Gibbs energy = - 2 × 96485.3329 × 1.14 = -219.99kJ

Answer:
The equivalent weight of M is approximately 31.8 g
The equivalent weight of N is approximately 27.98 g
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The percentage of the the metal M in in the chloride = 47.25%
Where by the chemical formula for the metal chloride is MClₓ, we have;
47.25% of the mass of MClₓ = Mass of M = W
Therefore, we have;
0.4725 × (W + 35.5·x) = W
0.4725·W + 0.4725×35.5×x = W
W - 0.4725·W = 16.77·x
0.5275·W = 16.77·x
W/x = 16.77/0.5275 = 31.799 = The equivalent weight of M
The equivalent weight of M = 31.799 ≈ 31.8 g
Given that 1 gram of M is displaced by 0.88 gram of N, then the equivalent weight of N that will displace 31.799 = 0.88 × 31.799 ≈ 27.98 g
The equivalent weight of N = 27.98 g.
