Answer:

KBr

Explanation:

A metal has a very high melting point. Aluminum is a metal.

Ionic solids do not conduct electricity in the solid state. However, when the solids are melted, they conduct electricity.

KBr is an ionic substance, it can only conduct electricity in molten form because the ions are locked up in the solid.

What is the ph of a 2.7 m solution of hclo4?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The compound HClO4 will dissociate into the ions, H+ and ClO4-. So, the 2.0 M solution will also form 2.0 M H+. The pH is calculated through the equation,
                                   pH = -log[H+]
Substituting,
                                    pH = -log[2] = -0.3
So the pH of the solution is going to be -0.3.

The P:OP:O ratio is the amount of inorganic phosphate incorporated into ATP per atom of oxygen consumed. It represents the coupl
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

For NADH; P:O = 2.5

For FADH ₂; P : O = 1.5

Explanation:

The P:O (phosphate:oxygen) ratio represents the amount of inorganic phosphate, Pi used per atom of oxygen consume to synthesize ATP.

The Chemiosmotic theory predicts H⁺:O and H⁺:ATP ratios. Experimentally these appear to be 10 and 4 respectively when NADH is the substrate, equivalent to a P:O ratio of 2.5, and 6 and 4 respectively for FAD-linked substrates (e.g. succinate), equivalent to a P:O ratio of 1.5.

1. Electron flow from NADH to O₂ pumps protons at three sites to yield 3 ATP (P:O = 2.5)

For NADH: 10 H ⁺ translocated/O (2e -)

ATP/2e - = (10 H⁺/ 4 H +) = 2.5  

2. Succinate (via FADH2) bypasses site 1 giving 2 ATP (P : O = 1.5)

For FADH ₂= 6 H ⁺/O(2e - )

ATP/2e - = (6 H +/ 4 H +) = 1.5
