Answer:
A metabolic pathway
Explanation:
Biologically, a metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions in which the end product of a reaction serves as a substrate (or reagent) for the reaction thereafter, the reactions being interdependent with one another. These reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. The metabolic pathways are fundamental for the maintenance of the cell and consequently of the body's homeostasis.
An example of the metabolic pathway can be seen in the above question where glucose is converted to glucose 6-phosphate by hexokinase. Glucose 6-phosphate then serves as a substrate for the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase, which converts this reagent to fructose 6-phosphate. Fructose 6-phosphate serves as a substrate for phosphofructokinase, which converts fructose 6-phosphate into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
Answer:
Calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid
Explanation:
The reaction of Calcium carbonate and Hydrochloric acid leads to the formation of Calcium Chloride and Carbon (IV) Oxide gas.
CaCO3 + 2HCl => CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
equal moles of C8H18 and O2 are reacted to give equal no. of moles of CO2.
mole ratio of C8H18 =(1/2) x 8 = 4 moles
mole ratio of O2 = (1/25) x 4 = 0.16 moles
so, limiting reagent is O2
the no. of moles of CO2 formed = 16 x 0.16 = 2.56 moles
weight of CO2 formed (theoretical weight) = 2.56 x 44 = 112.64
Percentage yield =(practical yiel/theoretical yield) x 100 = (28.16/112.64) x100 = 25%
