Answer:

Coulombs equation involves distance and the distance from one radius to the next allows us to predict certain characteristics such as pull and attraction. For example, you would expect, a higher charge on the ion and a higher dipole moment causes a larger force. This is due to the magnitude which is the distance between these two and effectively that is how Columbus law comes into play.

Write the overall equation for the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coa. express your answer as a chemical equation.

Schach [20]

the overall equation for the conversation of pyruvate to acetyl COA is as below

CH3COO-COO- + NAD+ + HS-COA = ch3-COO-S -COA +NADH +CO2

The oxidation of pyruvate led to a conversation of NAD+ to NADH and produces acetyl COA and CO2

Answer : The volume of $CO_2$ will be, 514.11 ml

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCO_3^-+HCl\rightarrow Cl^-+H_2O+CO_2$

First we have to calculate the mass of $HCO_3^-$ in tablet.

$\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-\text{ in tablet}=32.5\% \times 3.79g=\frac{32.5}{100}\times 3.79g=1.23175g$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $HCO_3^-$ .

Molar mass of $HCO_3^-$ = 1 + 12 + 3(16) = 61 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }HCO_3^-=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-}{\text{Molar mass of }HCO_3^-}=\frac{1.23175g}{61g/mole}=0.0202moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2$ .

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $HCO_3^-$ react to give 1 mole of $CO_2$

So, 0.0202 mole of $HCO_3^-$ react to give 0.0202 mole of $CO_2$

The moles of $CO_2$ = 0.0202 mole

Now we have to calculate the volume of $CO_2$ by using ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1.00 atm

V = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = $37^oC=273+37=310K$

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0202 mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get :

$(1.00atm)\times V=0.0202 mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (310K)$

$V=0.51411L=514.11ml$

Therefore, the volume of $CO_2$ will be, 514.11 ml

Which statement explains why catalysts are important for living

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Catalysts allow chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.

Explanation:

Catalysts are molecules that speeden the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. In a living system, the catalyst are ENZYMES, which help to hasten up many biochemical reactions.

Another function of catalyst in living systems is that it allows chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.
