Which formulas could represent the empirical formula and the molecular formula of a given compound?

If each NADHNADH generates 3 ATPATP molecules and each FADH2FADH2 generates 2 ATPATP molecules, calculate the number of ATPATP m

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$128~ATP$

Explanation:

The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called "beta-oxidation". In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing 2 carbons from the fatty acid for each acetyl-Coa produced. In other words, for each round, 1 acetyl Coa is produced and for each round 2 carbons are removed from the initial fatty acid. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the number of rounds that will take place for an 18-carbon fatty acid using the following equation:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{n}{2}-1$

Where "n" is the number of carbons, in this case "18", so:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{18}{2}-1~=~8$

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

$Number~of~Acetyl-Coa=\frac{18}{2}~=~9$

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the production of 1 $FADH_2$ and 1 $NADH$ . So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8 $FADH_2$ and 8 $NADH$ .

Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the yield for each compound:

-) $1~FADH_2~=~2~ATP$

-) $1~NADH~=~3~ATP$

-) $Acetyl~CoA~=~10~ATP$

Now we can do the total calculation:

$(8*2)~+~(8*3)~+~(9*10)=130~ATP$

We have to subtract "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the activation of the fatty acid, so:

$130-2=128~ATP$

In total, we will have 128 ATP.

I hope it helps!

By making several measurements with the same balance, a chemist obtained values of 5.224 g, 5.235 g, and 5.259 g for the mass of

stepan [7]

Answer:

a) Measurements have a good precision.

Explanation:

Accuracy is the proximity of the data to the value considered as real, in this situation we do not know the real value and we do not know if the data is accurate or not, so we can discard options b and d.

Now, precision is the proximity of the data obtained among themselves and that is what we can observe, so the appropriate answer is the option a.

How many moles of H2O form when 4.5 moles O2 reacts?

mart [117]

Explanation:

Start with a balanced equation.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Assuming that H2 is in excess, multiply the given moles H2O by the mole ratio between O2 and H2O in the balanced equation so that moles H2O cancel.

5 mol H2O × (1 mol O2/2 mol H2O) = 2.5 mol O2

Answer: 2.5 mol O2 are needed to make 5 mol H2O, assuming H2 is in excess.

Suppose a system returns to its original overall, internal energy ((∆U) after the following changes. In step 1, 25 J of work is

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Heat transfer in step 2 = 47.75 J

Explanation:

Internal energy = heat + work done

U = Q + W

In a cyclic process the total internal energy change of the system = 0.

In the process there are two steps. The total heat exchange in the process is the sum of heat exchanges in the two processes.

We have to find the heat exchange in step 2.

In step 1,

W = 1.25 J Q = -37 J

$U_{1}$ = -37 + 1.25 = -35.75 J

In step 2, the internal energy change will be negative of that in step 1.

U = 35.75 J

W = -12 J

U = Q + W

35.75 = Q -12

Q = 47.75 J

Heat transfer in step 2 = 47.75 J
