stepan [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Normally, beta-oxidation of fatty acid occurs in the mitchondrial matrix, however, when the fatty acid chains are too long, the beta-oxidation occurs in the peroxisomes <u>where the oxidation is not attached to ATP synthesis but rather transferred (i.e high energy electrons are transferred) to O₂ to form hydrogen peroxide</u> (H₂O₂). This is the major difference between the beta-oxidation that occurs in the peroxisomes to that which occurs in the mitochondria.

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?
mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of  Hydrogen (H)  is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, ClO^-

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

History of Aluminum​
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Aluminium was named after alum, which is called 'alumen' in Latin. This name was given by Humphry Davy, an English chemist, who, in 1808, discovered that aluminium could be produced by electrolytic reduction from alumina (aluminium oxide), but did not manage to prove the theory in practice.

The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

\boxed{\rm \text{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}

Explanation:

The half-cell reduction potentials are

Ag⁺(aq) +   e⁻ ⇌ Ag(s)     E° =  0.7996 V

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Fe(s)     E° = -0.447    V

To create a spontaneous voltaic cell, we reverse the half-reaction with the more negative half-cell potential.

The anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs.

The equation for the oxidation half-reaction is

\boxed{\rm \textbf{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}
