Answer:
Mass of original sample = 100 g
Explanation:
Half life of cesium-137 = 30.17 years
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.02297 year⁻¹
Time = 90.6 years
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Initial concentration = ?
Final concentration = 12.5 grams
Applying in the above equation, we get that:-
<u>Mass of original sample = 100 g</u>
In reaction 1 of the Krebs cycle, acetyl‑CoA formed in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction condenses with the four‑carbon compound to form <em>citrate </em>with the elimination of coenzyme A. Since the product has three carboxyl groups, this pathway is referred to as the cycle. In reaction 2 of the Krebs cycle, this product then undergoes to form<em> isocitrate. </em>The enzyme is called aconitase because the compound cis‑aconitate is the <em>intermediate product</em> of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the five‑carbon dicarboxylic acid <em>α-cetoglutarate. </em>Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to <em>COO-</em> . Consequently, this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.
In the image, you can see the reaction 2 in Krebs cycle is a two steps reaction with an intermediate cis-aconitase and a product called isocitrate.
