Answer:

C) the double bond results in the bypassing of the first oxidation step of the pathway, thereby eliminating one FADH2 product

Explanation:

The beta oxidation of fatty acids is the process by which long chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids are oxidized to the two-carbon product, acetylCoA.

The beta oxudation of fatty acids occurs in four steps after which the chain length is shortened by 2 with cleavage of an acetylCoA molecule.

The first step involves the oxidation of the fatty acid with introduction of a double bond between C-2 and C-3 of the long carbon chain. This reaction produces FADH2 which donates its electrons to electron carriers in the electron transport chain tomproduce 1.5 moles of ATP. This is the case with saturated fatty acids.

However, in unsaturated fatty acids (which are less reduced than saturated fatty acids) where there is already a double bond innthe molecule, the double bond results in the bypassing of the first oxidation step of the pathway, thereby eliminating one FADH2 product.

This causes a reduction In the number of ATP produced by unsaturated fatty acids when compared to saturated fatty acids.

What is the solubility in moles/liter for silver chloride at 25 oC given a Ksp value of 1.6 x 10-10. Write using scientific nota
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

AgCl      ⇄       Ag⁺       +       Cl⁻

m                       m                   m

If x mole of AgCl be dissolved in one litre .

[ Ag⁺ ] [ Cl⁻ ] = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m² =  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles

So solubility of AgCl is 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles / L

How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed?<br><br> ANSWER: 10.9
Arada [10]

Answer: 10.9 mol.

Explanation:

  • To understand how to solve this problem, we must mention the reaction equation where water produced from PbO₂.

Pb + PbO₂ + 2H₂SO₄ → 2PbSO₄ + 2H₂O

  • Now, it is a stichiometric oriented problem, that 1 mole of PbO₂ produces 2 moles of H₂O.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of PbO₂ → 2.0 moles of H₂O

5.43 moles of PbO₂ → ??? moles of water

The moles of water produced = (5.43 x 2.0) = 10.86 moles ≅ 10.9 moles.

600 s after initiation of a first order reaction 48.5% of the initial reactant concentration remains present. What is the rate c
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

k=1.20x10^{-3} s^{-1}

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the rate law is:

v=\frac{-d[A]}{[A]}=k[A]

Integranting both sides of the equation we get:

\int\limits^a_b {\frac{d[A]}{[A]}} \, dx =-k\int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt

where "a" stands for [A] (molar concentration of a given reagent) and "b" is {A]0 (initial molar concentration of a given reagent), "t" is the time in seconds.

From that integral we get the integrated rate law:

ln\frac{[A]}{[A]_{0} } =-kt

[A]=[A]_{0}e^{-kt}

ln[A]=ln[A]_{0} -kt

k=\frac{ln[A]_{0}-ln[A]}{t}

therefore k is

k=\frac{ln1-ln0,485}{600}=1,20x10^{-3}

Which best explains why the trend in noble gas boiling points increases down the group?A) increasing dispersion interactions B)
zhenek [66]

Answer:

A) increasing dispersion interactions

Explanation:

Polarizability allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (for example,  to condense. In these gases, the most important kind of interaction produces <em>dispersion forces</em>, <em>attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.</em>

<em>Dispersion forces</em>, which are also called <em>London forces</em>, usually <u>increase with molar mass because molecules with larger molar mass tend to have more electrons</u>, and <u>dispersion forces increase in strength with the number of electrons</u>. Furthermore, larger molar mass often means a bigger atom whose electron distribution is more easily disturbed because the outer electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei.

Because the noble gases are all nonpolar molecules, <u>the only attractive intermolecular  forces present are the dispersion forces</u>.
