Answer:
The carbons of the acetyl group oxidize which generate CO2, and in turn H2O.
Explanation:
The pyruvic acid that is generated during glycolysis enters the mitochondria. Inside this organelle, the acid molecules undergo a process called oxidative decaborxylation in which an enzyme of several cofactors is involved, one of which is coenzyme A. Pyruvic acid is transformed into an acetyl molecule and these are been introduced to the begining of the Krebs Cycle where the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C). As the molecule cycles the two carbons of the acetyl oxidize and are released in the form of CO2. Then the energy of the Krebs cycle becomes sufficient to reduce three NAD +, which means that three NADH molecules are formed. Although a small portion of energy is used to generate ATP, most of it is used to reduce not only the NAD + but also the FAD which, if oxidized, passes to its reduced state, FADH2
Answer:
• Molecular mass of Iron (III) tetraoxide
[ molar masses: Fe → 56, O → 16 ]
Answer:
Explanation:
A combustion involves the reaction of a fuel with oxygen (O₂). During the reaction of combustion of hydrogen (H₂), H₂ reacts with O₂ to form water (H₂O). The <em>balanced chemical equation</em> is the following:
2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g)
According to the chemical equation, 2 moles of H₂O are obtained from the reaction of 2 moles of H₂ with 1 mol of O₂. All reactants and products are in the gaseous phase.
Answer:
50 g Sucrose
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Concentration of the solution: 2.5%
Step 2: Calculate the mass of sucrose needed to prepare the solution
The concentration of the solution is 2.5%, that is, there are 2.5 g of sucrose (solute) every 100 g of solution. The mass of sucrose needed to prepare 2000 g of solution is:
2000 g Solution × 2.5 g Sucrose/100 g Solution = 50 g Sucrose
