How many ATP are produced from a fatty acid that is 14 carbons long?

Chemistry

fenix001 [56]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

92 ATP

Explanation:

Fatty acid oxidation results in the formation of large number of ATP molecules. Three important process of fatty acid are activation of the fatty acid, beta oxidation and entry of acetyl CoA in Krebs cycle.

14 carbon fatty acid is Miristic acid. The complete oxidation of Miristic acid results in the formation of 7 acetyl CoA + 6NADH and 6FADH_2

1 Acetyl CoA gives 10 molecules of ATP then 7 acetyl CoA gives 70 molecules of ATP.

1NADH = 2.5 ATP, 6NADH = 15 ATP.

1FADH_2 = 1.5 ATP, 6FADH_2 = 9 ATP.

2 ATP has been consumed in the activation of fatty acid.

Total ATP = 70+15+9-2

=92 ATP.

Thus, the total ATP generated from the oxidation of 14 carbon fatty acid is 92.

How many moles of gas occupy 98 L at a pressure of 2.8 atmosphere and a temperature of 292 K
OLga [1]
Let's assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior.

Then we can use ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT

Where, <span>
P = Pressure of the gas (Pa)
V = volume of the gas (m³)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = Universal gas constant (8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹)<span>
T = temperature in Kelvin (K)
<span>
The given data for the </span></span>gas is,<span>
P = 2.8 atm = 283710 Pa
V = 98 L = 98 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
T = 292 K
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
n = ?

By applying the formula,
283710 Pa x </span>98 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 292 K
<span>                                       n = 11.45 mol

Hence, moles of gas is </span>11.45 mol.

What is the number of moles in 15.0 g AsH3?
Grace [21]

Answer:

0.192 mol.

Explanation:

  • To calculate the no. of moles of a substance (n), we use the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass.</em>

mass of AsH₃ = 15.0 g.

molar mass of AsH₃ = 77.95 g/mol.

∴ The number of moles in 15.0 g AsH₃ = mass / molar mass = (15.0 g) / (77.95 g/mol) = 0.192 mol.

What is the mass of a sample of NH3 containing 7.20 × 1024 molecules of NH3? 161 grams 187 grams 203 grams 214 grams
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

203 grams

Explanation:

<em>It is known that 1.0 mole of a compound contains Avogadro's number of molecules (6.022 x 10²³). </em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mol contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

??? mol contains → 7.2 x 10²⁴ molecules.

∴ The no. of moles of (6.3 x 10²⁴ molecules) of NH₃ = (1.0 mol)(7.2 x 10²⁴ molecules)/(6.022 x 10²³ molecules) = 11.96 mol.

<em>∴ The no. of grams of NH₃ present = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (11.96 mol)(17.0 g/mol) = <em>203.3 g ≅ 203.0 g.</em>

IF you’ve eaten 45% of a box of chocolate cereal that has 13oz when you buy it how many oz of the cereal have you eaten
weqwewe [10]
To determine the number of ounces of the chocolate cereal that you have eaten, the operation that needs to be performed is simply the multiplication of the initial number of ounce in the box of cereal and the decimal equivalent of the given percentage. If we let n be the answer, 
   
    n = (13 oz)(0.45) 
 
Simplifying, this will give us the answer which is equal to 5.85 oz.

<em>Answer: 5.85 oz. </em>

Find the age t of a sample, if the total mass of carbon in the sample is mc, the activity of the sample is a, the current ratio
Paha777 [63]
N₀ is the number of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon in the original sample at time = Os when its carbon was of the same kind as that present in the atmosphere today. After time ts, due to radioactive decay, the number of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon is the same sample which has decreased to N. λ is the radioactive decay constant.
Therefore N = N₀e-λt which is the radioactive decay equation,
N₀/N = eλt In (N₀.N= λt. This is the equation 1
The mass of carbon which is present in the sample os mc kg. So the sample has a radioactivity of A/mc decay is/kg. r is the mass of C-14 in original sample at t= 0 per total mass of carbon in a sample which is equal to [(total number of C-14 atoms in the sample at t m=m 0) × ma]/ total mass of carbon in the sample.
Now that the total number of C-14 atoms in the sample at t= 0/ total mass of carbon in sample = N₀ then r = N₀×ma
So N₀ = r/ma. this equation 2.
 The activity of the radioactive substance is directly proportional to the number of atoms present at the time.
Activity = A number of decays/ sec = dN/dt = λ(number of atoms of C-14 present at time t) = 
λ₁(N×mc). By rearranging we get N = A/(λmc) this is equation 3.
By plugging in equation 2 and 3 and solve t to get
t = 1/λ In (rλmc/m₀A).
