What are mitochondria, and why are they an important part of cells?

1 answer:

4 0

Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. They help turn the energy we take from food into energy that the cell can use. But, there is more to mitochondria than energy production. Present in nearly all types of human cell, mitochondria are vital to our survival.

4 ml contains

= 320mg of aluminum hydroxide

= 320mg of magnesium hydroxide

= 32mg of simethicone

recommended doses = 4 times * 2 tea spoon = 8 tea spoon/ day

given = 1 tea spoon = 5 ml

8 tea spoon = 40 ml

hence,

amount of aluminum hydroxide = 320/4 * 40 = 3200mg = 3.2 g

amount of magnesium hydroxide = 320/4 * 40 = 3.2 g

amount of simethicone = 32/4 * 40 = 320 mg = 0.32g

What is the volume of 1.2 moles of water vapor at STP?

sladkih [1.3K]

<span>Avogadro's law applies at STP where P is 1 atm and T is 273K. From Avogadro's law; 1 mole of gas takes up 22.4 L of volume at STP. I. e 1 moles = 22.4 L. Hence 1.2 moles of water vapor will take up. 1.2 * 22.4 = 26.88L. Or using ideal ga s eqn PV = NRT. We have P = 1 atm. N = 1.2 moles. R = 0.0821 L and T =273 K. So V = NRT/P.Then we have 1.2 * 0.0821 * 273 = 26.88L.</span>

Sodium borodeuteride is a commercially available reducing reagent that can convert aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding al

kupik [55]

Here we have to draw the mechanism of the reduction reaction between benzaldehyde and sodium borodeuteride to form the corresponding alcohol.

The reducing agent sodium borodeuteride can reduce the aldehydes to its corresponding alcohol. The reaction mechanism is shown in the attached image.

The reaction mechanism can be explained as-

The sodium borodeuteride is highly ionic in nature thus it remains as Na⁺ and BD₄⁻ The deuterium atom of BD₄⁻ attack the carbonyl carbon atom and substitute one of its deuterium as shown in the figure.

One molecule of sodium borodeuteride can reduce four molecules of benzaldehyde. The polar solvent like alcohol donates the proton as shown in the mechanism.

The converted alcohol contains the deuterium atom at the -C center. Thus benzaldehyde is converted to deuteroted benzyl alcohol.
