Answer:

Explanation:
The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called <u>"beta-oxidation"</u>. In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing <u>2 carbons</u> from the fatty acid for each acetyl-Coa produced. In other words, for each round, 1 acetyl Coa is produced and for each round 2 carbons are removed from the initial fatty acid. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the <u>number of rounds</u> that will take place for an <u>18-carbon fatty</u> acid using the following equation:

Where "n" is the <u>number of carbons</u>, in this case "18", so:

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the <u>production of 1
and 1
</u>. So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8
and 8
.
Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the <u>yield for each compound</u>:
-)
-) 
-) 
Now we can do the total calculation:

We have to <u>subtract</u> "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the <u>activation</u> of the fatty acid, so:

In total, we will have 128 ATP.
I hope it helps!
This is an example of displacement reaction
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The chemical reaction in which the one element replaces the other element in a compound is called a displacement reaction. This reaction is also called a replacement reaction.
AB + C -----> AC +B
2ZnS + 3O2 -----> 2ZnO + 2SO2
- This happens when A is more reactive than B and gives a stable product. Here the zinc sulfide compound reacts with the oxygen element to the stable product of zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.
- In short, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element is called a displacement reaction.

Answer:
12 grams of hydrogen gas
and 56 grams of nitrogen gas
The molar mass of ammonia is 17 g/mol.
68 grams of ammonia corresponds to
17g/mol
68g
=4moles
4 moles of ammonia will be obtained from
2
4×1
=2 moles of nitrogen and
2
4×3
=6 moles of hydrogen.
The molar masses of nitrogen and hydrogen are 28 g/mol and 2 g/mol respectively.
2 moles of nitrogen corresponds to 2×28=56 grams.
6 moles of hydrogen corresponds to 6×2=12 grams.
