Answer:
Even-number fatty acids such as palmitate undergoes complete β-oxidation in the liver motochondria to CO₂ because the product, acetyl-CoA can enter the TCA cycle.
Oxidation of odd-number fatty acids such as undecanoic acid yields acetyl-CoA + propionyl-CoA in their last pass. Propionyl-CoA requires additional reactions including carboxylation in order to be able to enter the TCA cycle.
The reaction CO2 + propionyl-CoA ----> methylmalonyl-CoA is catalyzed by propionyl-CoA carboxylase, a biotin-containing enzyme, which is inhibited by avidin. Palmitate oxidation however, does not involve carboxylation.
Explanation:
Even-number fatty acids such as palmitate undergoes complete β-oxidation in the liver motochondria to CO₂ because their oxidation product, acetyl-CoA, can enter the TCA cycle where it is oxidized to CO₂.
Undecanoic acid is an odd-number fatty acid having 11 carbon atoms. Oxidation of odd-number fatty acids such as undecanoic acid yields a five -carbon fatty acyl substrate for their last pass through β-oxidation which is oxidized and cleaved into acetyl-CoA + propionyl-CoA. Propionyl-CoA requires additional reactions including carboxylation in order to be able to enter the TCA cycle. Since oxidation is occuring in a liver extract, CO₂ has to be externally sourced in order for the carboxylation of propionyl-CoA to proceed and thus resulting in comlete oxidation of undecanoic acid.
The reaction CO2 + propionyl-CoA ----> methylmalonyl-CoA is catalyzed by propionyl-CoA carboxylase, a biotin-containing enzyme. The role of biotin is to activate the CO₂ before its tranfer to the propionate moiety. The addition of the protein avidin prevents the complete oxidation of undecanoic acid by binding tightly to biotin, hence inhibiting the activation and transfer of CO₂ to propionate.
Palmitate oxidation however, does not involve carboxylation, hence addition of avidin has no effect on its oxidation.

<u>Answer:</u>
<u>For a:</u> The equilibrium mixture contains primarily reactants.
<u>For b:</u> The equilibrium mixture contains primarily products.
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are 3 conditions:
- When
; the reaction is product favored. - When
; the reaction is reactant favored. - When
; the reaction is in equilibrium.
For the given chemical reactions:
The chemical equation follows:
The expression of 
for above reaction follows:
![K_{eq}=\frac{[CN^-][H_3O^+]}{[HCN][H_2O]}=6.2\times 10^{-10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Beq%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BCN%5E-%5D%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%7D%7B%5BHCN%5D%5BH_2O%5D%7D%3D6.2%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D)
As, , the reaction will be favored on the reactant side.
Hence, the equilibrium mixture contains primarily reactants.
The chemical equation follows:
The expression of for above reaction follows:
![K_{eq}=\frac{[HCl]^2}{[H_2][Cl_2]}=2.51\times 10^{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Beq%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BHCl%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BH_2%5D%5BCl_2%5D%7D%3D2.51%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B4%7D)
As, , the reaction will be favored on the product side.
Hence, the equilibrium mixture contains primarily products.
Answer:
d. The limiting reactant is Br2, and 0.13 mol Al should remain unreacted.
Explanation:
From the reaction, 2Al(s) + 3Br2(l) → 2AlBr3(s)
2 moles of Al combines with 3 moles of Br to form 2 moles of AlBr3
Hence 1 mole of Br combines with 2/3 moles of Al
or 0.4 moles of Br combines with 2/3×0.4 moles of Al or 0.267 Moles of Al leaving
0.4 - 0.267 = 0.133 moles of Al remaining unreacted
Answer:
[KCl] = 1.33 M
Explanation:
Molarity is mol /L
Mol of solute in 1 L of solution
Volume of solution is 750 mL
750 mL / 1000 = 0.750 L
1 mol / 0.750L = M → 1.33
