________ splits fatty acids into two-carbon units that form acetyl-coa and releases high-energy electrons.

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is beta oxidation. It is a process in which molecules particularly fatty acids are cracked down in the prokaryotes’ cytosol and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes to produce acetyl-CoA, which goes in the citric acid cycle, FADH2, and NADH which are co-enzymes that are cast-off in the electron transport chain. The major response site is the beta-carbon from the thioester carbon.

What mass of boron sulfide must be processed with 2.1 x 10 4g of carbon to yield 3.11 x 10 4 g of boron and 1.47 x 10 5 g of car

Basile [38]

The reaction between boron sulfide and carbon is given as:

2B2S3 + 3C → 4B + 3CS2

As per the law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.

Given data:

Mass of C = 2.1 * 10^ 4 g

Mass of B = 3.11*10^4 g

Mass of CS2 = 1.47*10^5

Mass of B2S3 = ?

Now based on the law of conservation of mass:

Mass of B2S3 + mass C = mass of B + mass of CS2

Mass of B2S3 + 2.1 * 10^ 4 = 3.11*10^4 + 1.47*10^5

Mass of B2S3 = 15.7 * 10^4 g

What does surface tension mean?

Volgvan

Surface tension, property of a liquid surface displayed by its acting as if it were a stretched elastic membrane. This phenomenon can be observed in the nearly spherical shape of small drops of liquids and of soap bubbles. Because of this property, certain insects can stand on the surface of water.

When 60 mL of 0.22 M NH4Cl is added to 60 mL of 0.22 M NH3, relative to the pH of the 0.10 M NH3 solution the pH of the resultin

densk [106]

Answer:

Will be more acidic

Explanation:

The equilibrium of NH3 in water is:

NH3(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ NH4⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Where equilibrium constant, Kb, is:

Kb = 1.85x10⁻⁵ = [NH4⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH3]

From 0.10M NH3, the reaction will produce X of NH4⁺ and X of OH⁻ and Kb will be:

1.85x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.10M]

1.8x10⁻⁶ = X²

X = 1.34x10⁻³ = [OH⁻]

As pOH = -log[OH⁻] = 2.87

And as pH = 14 - pOH

pH of the 0.10M NH3 is 11.13

Now, to find the pH of the NH4Cl and NH3 we need to use H-H equation for bases:

pOH = pKb + log [NH4⁺] / [NH3]

Where pKb is -log Kb = 4.74 and [] are moles of both compounds.

Moles of [NH4⁺] = [NH3] = 60mL, 0.060L*0.22M = 0.0132moles:

pOH = 4.74 + log [0.0132] / [0.0132]

pOH = 4.74

pH = 14 - 4.74 = 9.26

That means the pH of the resulting solution will be more acidic

1)Define potential Energy.

Margarita [4]

1. Potential Energy is stored energy a object has when it's not moving.

2. Potential Energy is it's highest on the first stage because as you see the roller coaster is bout to go down the tract which is going to higher the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

3. Kinetic Energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion or moving.

4. Kinetic Energy is it's highest in the third stage after it's gone down the tract and potential energy fully decreased and it's at zero.

Remember that potential energy is stored energy so when a object is not moving in this case the roller coaster isn't moving on the first stage when its bout to go down the roller coaster. Kinetic energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion so in this case the third stage would have the highest example of Kinetic energy because it's fully in motion and has no potential energy.
