Answer:
the conversion factor is f= 6 mol of glucose/ mol of CO2
Explanation:
First we need to balance the equation:
C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) (unbalanced)
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) (balanced)
the conversion factor that allows to calculate the number of moles of CO2 based on moles of glucose is:
f = stoichiometric coefficient of CO2 in balanced reaction / stoichiometric coefficient of glucose in balanced reaction
f = 6 moles of CO2 / 1 mol of glucose = 6 mol of glucose/ mol of CO2
f = 6 mol of CO2/ mol of glucose
for example, for 2 moles of glucose the number of moles of CO2 produced are
n CO2 = f * n gluc = 6 moles of CO2/mol of glucose * 2 moles of glucose= 12 moles of CO2
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.
The answer is A
According to research I have done, pure solids and liquids are not included in the equilibrium constant expression. If the concentration of a reactant in aqueous solution is increased, the position of equilibrium will move in the direction which minimises the effect of this increase in concentration, by using the added component up, to decrese it's concentration again.
If you think of it endothermic is when there is energy needed for the reaction to occur and exothermic is when the reaction releases energy
