In nature, one common strategy to make thermodynamically unfavorable reactions proceed is to couple them chemically to reactions

that are thermodynamically favorable. As long as the overall reaction is thermodynamically favorable, even the unfavorable reaction will proceed.
Part A
Consider these hypothetical chemical reactions:
A⇌B,ΔG= 14.8 kJ/mol
B⇌C,ΔG= -29.7 kJ/mol
C⇌D,ΔG= 8.10 kJ/mol
What is the free energy, ΔG, for the overall reaction, A⇌D?
Part B
Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are
luciferin+O2ATP⇌⇌oxyluciferin+lightAMP+PPi
If the overall ΔG of the coupled reaction is -7.50 kJ/mol , what is the equilibrium constant, K, of the first reactions at 11 ∘C ? The ΔG for the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP is −31.6 kJ/mol.

Answer:

\triangle G= -6.7 KJ/mol

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Chemical Reactions:

X=A⇌B,ΔG= 14.8 kJ/mol

Y=B⇌C,ΔG= -29.7 kJ/mol

Z=C⇌D,ΔG= 8.10 kJ/mol

Since

Hess Law

The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is independent of the number of steps taken.

Therefore

Generally the equation for the Reaction is mathematically given by

T = +1 * X +1 * Y +1 *Z

Therefore the free energy, ΔG is

\triangle G=1 * \triangle G*X +1 * \triangle G*Y +1 * \triangle G *Z

\triangle G= +1 * (14.9) +1 * (-29.7) +1 * (8.10)

\triangle G= -6.7 KJ/mol

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog
Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:

  • If \Delta \chi=0, then the bond is non-polar.
  • If \Delta \chi\leq 1.7, then the bond will be covalent.
  • If \Delta \chi>1.7, then the bond will be ionic.

We are given:

Electronegativity for boron = 2.0

Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1

\Delta \chi=\chi_{H}-\chi_{B}\\\\\Delta \chi=2.1-2.0=0.1

As, \Delta \chi is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.

If the concentration of the HCl used in your titration was 1.00 M and you used 23.68 mL to reach the endpoint, calculate the con
drek231 [11]

Answer: The concentration of the OH-, CB = 0.473 M.

Explanation:

The balanced equation of reaction is:

2HCl + Ca(OH)2 ===> CaCl2 + 2H2O

Using titration equation of formula

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

Where NA is the number of mole of acid = 2 (from the balanced equation of reaction)

NB is the number of mole of base = 1 (from the balanced equation of reaction)

CA is the concentration of acid = 1M

CB is the concentration of base = to be calculated

VA is the volume of acid = 23.65 ml

VB is the volume of base = 25mL

Substituting

1×23.65/CB×25 = 2/1

Therefore CB =1×23.65×1/25×2

CB = 0.473 M.
