Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
We know that the process of the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is catalysed by NO2 gas. It occurs in two stages and i will show the balanced reaction equation of the both stages below;
Step 1
2NO2(g) + 2SO2(g) ------> 2NO(g) + 2SO3(g)
Step 2
2NO(g) + O2(g) -------> 2NO2(g)
So, the overall reaction equation is;
2SO2(g) + O2(g) ------> 2SO3(g)
There are two big advantages of using molarity to express concentration. The first advantage is that it's easy and convenient to use because the solute may be measured in grams, converted into moles, and mixed with a volume.
The second advantage is that the sum of the molar concentrations is the total molar concentration. This permits calculations of density and ionic strength
Answer:
Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules
Explanation:
A 32 carbon fatty acid which undergoes complete beta-oxidation assuming that the fatty acid is fully saturated will pass through the beta-oxidation cycle 14 times to produce the following:
15 molecules of acetylCoA, 14 molecules of FADH₂, and 14 molecules of NADH.
Each of the 15 acetylCoA molecules can be further oxidized in the citric acid cycle to yield the following: 15 × 3 NADH; 15 × 1 FADH₂, and 15 ATP molecules from the substrate level phosphorylation occuring at the succinylCoA synthetase catalyzed-reaction.
Total FADH₂ produced = 15 + 14 = 29 molecules of FADH₂
Total NADH produced = 45 + 14 = 59 molecules of NADH
The FADH₂ and NADH will each donate a pair of electrons to the electron transfer flavoprotein and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase respectively of the electron transport chain, and about 1.5 and 2.5 molecules of ATP are generated respectively when these electrons are transfered to molecular oxygen.
Thus, number of molecules of ATP generated by 29 molecules of FADH₂ = 1.5 × 29 = 43.5 molecules of ATP.
Number of molecules of ATP generated by 59 molecules of NADH = 2.5 × 59 = 147.5
Sum of ATP generated from FADH₂ and NADH = 43.5 + 147.5 = 191 ATP molecules
Total number of ATP molecules generated = 191 + 15 = 206 ATP molecules
Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules
Chemical Reactions and Moles of Reactants and Products
That is, it requires 2 moles of magnesium and 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of magnesium oxide. If only 1 mole of magnesium was present, it would require 1 ÷ 2 = ½ mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 ÷ 2 = 1 mole magnesium oxide.
Answer:
The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is oxygen
Explanation:
Four electrons gotten from cytochrome c are involved in the conversion of a molecule of oxygen (O2) to two molecules of water (H2O). This final electron transfer occurs in complex IV. Complex IV, also known as cytochrome c oxidase, facilitates the the use of four protons from the matrix of the mitochondrion, in the production of water molecules while pumping four protons to the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion.
