How many nad+ are reduced in the β-oxidation of stearoyl-coa to form nine molecules of acetyl-coa?

Which option explains how purple pigments make some flower petals purple?

raketka [301]

Many of the actual chemicals in flower petals that give them their different colors are called anthocyanins. These are water-soluble compounds that belong to a bigger class of chemicals known as flavonoids. Anthocyanins are responsible for creating the colors blue, red, pink, and purple in flowers.

Why can't the reaction, ZnCl2 + H2 → Zn + 2HCI, occur naturally?

Llana [10]

Answer:

It is fairly obvious that zinc metal reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid! The bubbles are hydrogen gas. ... In fact, electrons are being transferred from the zinc atoms to the hydrogen atoms (which ultimately make a molecule of diatomic hydrogen), changing the charges on both elements.

The formula ca(no3)2 tells us that one formula unit of this compound is composed of ________ calcium atoms, ________ nitrogen at

ad-work [718]

Answer:- The formula $Ca(NO_3)_2$ tells us that one formula unit of this compound is composed of one calcium atom, two nitrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.

Explanations:- Subscripts tell us about the number of atoms of the element for which they are used. For example, here the subscript of Ca is one, it means there is one calcium atom in the given one formula unit.

When we have subscripts inside and outside the parenthesis then they are multiplied and the outside subscript is considered for all the atoms present inside the parenthesis.

Here, for the given chemical formula, the subscript of N is 1 and the subscript present outside is 2. So, 1 x 2 = 2 and for oxygen, 3 x 2 = 6

So, we have one calcium atom, two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms for one formula unit of given compound.

At 85°C, the vapor pressure of A is 566 torr and that of B is 250 torr. Calculate the composition of a mixture of A and B that b

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Composition of the mixture:

$x_{A} =0.652=65.2$ %

$x_{B} =0.348=34.8$ %

Composition of the vapor mixture:

$y_{A} =0.809=80.9$ %

$y_{B} =0.191=19.1$ %

Explanation:

If the ideal solution model is assumed, and the vapor phase is modeled as an ideal gas, the vapor pressure of a binary mixture with $x_{A}$ and $x_{B}$ molar fractions can be calculated as:

$P_{vap}=x_{A}P_{A}+x_{B}P_{B}$

Where $P_{A}$ and $P_{B}$ are the vapor pressures of the pure compounds. A substance boils when its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure under it is; so it boils when $P_{vap}=P$ . When the pressure is 0.60 atm, the vapor pressure has to be the same if the mixture is boiling, so:

$0.60*760=P_{vap}=x_{A}P_{A}+x_{B}P_{B}\\456=x_{A}P_{A}+(1-x_{A})P_{B}\\456=x_{A}*(P_{A}-P_{B})+P_{B}\\\frac{456-P_{B}}{P_{A}-P_{B}}=x_{A}\\\\\frac{456-250}{566-250}=x_{A}=0.652$

With the same assumptions, the vapor mixture may obey to the equation:

$x_{A}P_{A}=y_{A}P$ , where P is the total pressure and y is the fraction in the vapor phase, so:

$y_{A} =\frac{x_{A}P_{A}}{P}=\frac{0.652*566}{456} =0.809=80.9$ %

The fractions of B can be calculated according to the fact that the sum of the molar fractions is equal to 1.
