Answer:
a. Serine is converted to pyruvate. It is glucogenic.
b. Aspartate is converted citric acid cycle intermediates. It is glucogenic.
c. Leucine is converted to AcetylCoA. It is ketogenic.
Explanation:
The degradation of amino acids usually account for a significant amount of energy production by the human body. The carbon skeletons of amino acids after deamination are either channelled to gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis or are completely oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.
The amino acids that are channelled to gluconeogenesis are said to be glucogenic. The glucogenic amino acids are those that are either degraded to ∝-ketoglutarate, succinylCoA, fumarate or oxaloacetate which are citric acid cycle intermediates that can be converted to glucose and glycogen. Also, amino acids that are degraded to pyruvate are glucogenic as pyruvate can be converted to glucose via oxaloacetate. Examples of these amino acids are serine which is converted to pyruvate and aspartate which is converted to the citric acid cycle intermediate, oxaloacetate.
On the other hand, amino acids that are channelled to ketogenesis are said to be ketogenic. The ketogenic amino acids are degraded to either acetylCoA or acetoacetylCoA. AcetylCoA and acetoacetylCoA are used in the formation of key one bodies. An example of a ketogenic amino acid is leucine which is converted both to AcetylCoA and acetoacetylCoA.
Compare the solubility of calcium sulfite in each of the following aqueous solutions:
a. 0.10 M Ca(CH3COO)2
b. 0.10 M K2SO3
c. 0.10 M NaNO3
d. 0.10 M KCH3COO
1. More soluble than in pure water.
2. Similar solubility as in pure water.
3. Less soluble than in pure water.
Answer:
0.10 M Ca(CH3COO)2- Less soluble than in pure water.
0.10 M K2SO3- Less soluble than in pure water.
0.10 M NaNO3 - More soluble than in pure water.
0.10 M KCH3COO- Similar solubility as in pure water.
Explanation:
We have to cast our minds back to the idea of common ions effect. If any ion is already present in solution, the presence of that ion in solution prevents any solute containing a common ion with the solution from dissolving in that solution. In order words, the presence of a common ion makes a solute less soluble in a solvent than it is in pure water.
For instance, 0.10 M Ca(CH3COO)2 and K2SO3 both contain Ca^2+ and SO3^2- ions respectively which are also contained in the solute calcium sulfite.
The presence of these common ions in solution makes calcium sulfite less soluble in these solutions than it is in pure water because the equilibrium position for the dissolution of the solute lies towards the left hand side.
However, calcium sulfite is more soluble in 0.10 M NaNO3 than in pure water due to displacement reaction between the ions in solution.
The solubility of calcium sulfite and 0.10 M KCH3COO in pure water is quite comparable.
A chemistry student needs 15.0 g of methanol for an experiment. She has available 320. g of 44.4% w/w solution of methanol in water. Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
Answer:
33.8 g Solution
Explanation:
A chemistry student needs 15.0 g of methanol for an experiment. The concentration of ethanol in the solution is 44.4% w/w, that is, there are 44.4 g of methanol every 100 g of solution. The mass of solution that would contain 15.0 g of methanol is:
15.0 g Methanol × 100 g Solution/44.4 g Methanol = 33.8 g Solution
Since 33.8 g are required and 320. g are available, there is enough solution for the requirements.

Is astatine (At), atomic number 85, a metal or nonmetal? Why?
Answer:
At is a metalloid
Explanation: Meaning that it displays some of the characteristics of a metal but can also display characteristics of nonmetals. Silicon is one such element. Elemental Silicon has a dark lustrous metallic appearance but it is quite brittle. Some authorities include Astatine as a halogen as it has seven electrons in its valence shell placing it just below iodine in period 17 VIIA. Additionally, because Astatine is only ever found naturally as the result of radioactive decay from more dense elements it is the rarest naturally occurring element in Earth's crust.

Which statement best describes how the tilt of Earth's rotational axis relates to the amount of solar energy received?
A. When a hemisphere is tilting away from the sun, the whole planet receives less direct sunlight,
B. When a hemisphere is tilting toward the sun, that hemisphere receives less direct sunlight.
C. When a hemisphere is tilting toward the sun, the whole planet receives less direct sunlight.
D. When a hemisphere is tilting away from the sun, that hemisphere receives less direct sunlight.
Explanation:
A. Around December 21, the Northern Hemisphere tilts the farthest away from the Sun. This is called the northern winter solstice, and it is when we have the least amount of daylight of any time of the year.
B.Solstices and shifting solar declinations are a result of Earth's 23.5° axial tilt as it orbits the sun. Throughout the year, this means that either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun and receives the maximum intensity of the sun's rays.
C.The tilt of the Earth's axis also defines the length of daylight. Daylight hours are shortest in each hemisphere's winter. Between summer and winter solstice, the number of daylight hours decreases, and the rate of decrease is larger the higher the latitude. The fewer sunlight hours the colder the nights
D.The second solstice occurs on December 21 or 22 when the north pole is tilting 23.5 degrees away from our Sun and the south pole is inclined toward it. This is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere — the northern hemisphere winter solstice.

Compound A has molecular formula C4H10. Compound A gives two monochlorides, B and C, on photochemical chlorination. Treatment of either of these monochlorides with potassium tert-butoxide gives the same alkene (C4H8) as the product, but B leads to just one isomer of the alkene, D, whereas C gives D and another isomer of the alkene, E. Treatment of monochlorides B and C with aqueous ethanol gives products F and G, respectively, both of which are of molecular formula C4H10O. What are the chemical names of compounds A-G
Answer:
Explanation:
Radical chlorination of butane in the presence of light gives rise to the formation of two isomeric monochlorides B (1-chlorobutane) and C (2-chlorobutane). Both upon reaction with a bulky base (potassium tert-butoxide) give rise to D(but-1-ene) and E(but-2-ene) respectively, this is because the bulky base abstracts the less hindered proton. Compound B and C were later treated with aqueous C2H5OH which results in the hydrolysis of alkyl halides to produce Compound F(butan-1-ol) and compound G (butan-2-ol) respectively.

In an oxidation-reduction reaction, the substance oxidized always ________. a. takes on oxygen atoms b. gives up hydrogen atoms c. gains electrons d. loses electrons e. becomes a charged species
Answer:
Explanation:
Let us define oxidation and reduction.
Oxidation and reduction deal with the transferring of electrons between reactants. The reactant that loses electrons is oxidized, while the reactant that gains electrons is reduced.
In an oxidation-reduction reaction, the substance oxidized always loses electrons and the correct option is option D.
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between species. It consists of two half-reactions: an oxidation half-reaction, where a species loses electrons and increases its oxidation state, and a reduction half-reaction, where a species gains electrons and decreases its oxidation state.
In an oxidation half-reaction, the species that is oxidized is called the reducing agent or the electron donor, as it donates electrons. In a reduction half-reaction, the species that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent or the electron acceptor, as it accepts electrons.
Thus, the ideal selection is option D.

Select the keyword or phrase that will best complete each sentence about the three general rules of for drawing Lewis structures.a. main group b. hafnium c. valence d. hydrogen e. core f. transition metal1. Draw only__the electrons. 2. Give every___element (except hydrogen) an octet of electrons. 3. Give each____two electrons.
Answer:
1. Draw only the valence electrons.
2. Give every element main group element (except hydrogen) an octet of electrons.
3. Give each hydrogen two electrons.
Explanation:
Lewis structures are used to describe the arrangement or configurations of the valence electrons of molecules and polyatomic ions involved in electronic bonding. A Lewis structure consists of the symbols of the elements in the molecule surrounded by dots with each dot representing each of the elements valence electrons. Also, the electrons shared between two elements are shown by dots between the two elements and these electrons are known as shared electron pairs. The valence electrons on atom that is not involved in bonding is known as lone pairs.
The three general rules for drawing Lewis structures are:
1. Draw only the valence electrons. Only the valence electrons of the atoms of elements are shown since they are the only electrons involved in chemical bonding.
2. Give every element main group element (except hydrogen) an octet of electrons. The complete eight valence electrons of the noble gases is associated with their stability. Thus, the main group elements show a tendency to form enough bonds to obtain eight valence electronsmin order to achieve stability. This is known as the octet rule. However, since the maximum number of valence electrons for elements in the first period of the period table is two, the noble gas helium has completely-filled valence shell containing two electrons known as a duplet. Hydrogen belongs to the first period and is therefore an exception tomthe octet rule.
3. Give each hydrogen two electrons. Hydrogen attains a duplet structure in accordance with the structure of helium
Match all the terms that apply to each element. Some terms may apply to more than one element.

How many grams of solid sodium cyanide should be added to 1.00 L of a 0.119 M hydrocyanic acid solution to prepare a buffer with a pH of 8.809
Answer:
1.62 g
Explanation:
Given that:
Concentration of HCN = 0.119 M
Assuming the ka 4.00 × 10⁻¹⁰
The pKa of HCN (hydrocyanic acid) = -log (Ka)
= - log ( 4.00 × 10⁻¹⁰)
= 9.398
pH of buffer = 8.809
Using Henderson Hasselbach equation:
[tex]pH = pKa + log \dfrac{[conjugate\ base ]}{acid}[/tex]
[tex]pH = pKa + log \dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}[/tex]
[tex]8.809 = 9.398 +log \dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}[/tex]
[tex]log \dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}= 8.809 - 9.398[/tex]
[tex]log \dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}= -0.589[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}= 0.2576[/tex]
[CN^-] = 0.2576[HCN]
[CN^-] = 0.2756 (0.119) L
[CN^-] = 0.033 M
∴
The amount of NaCN (sodium cyanide) is calculated as follows:
[tex]= 1.00 L \times \dfrac{0.033 \ mol \ NacN }{1 \ L } \times \dfrac{49.01 \ g}{1 \ mol \ of \ NacN}[/tex]
= 1.62 g
carbon dioxide gas evolve during the fermentation of sugar which was collected at 22.5°C and 0.945 ATM after perfect strangers in the volume was found to be 25.0 ML how many grams of carbon dioxide were collected
Answer:
0.043 grams
Explanation:
We can find the mass of carbon dioxide as follows:
[tex] m = n*M [/tex]
Where:
n: is the number of moles
M: is the molar mass = 44.01 g/mol
First, we need to calculate the number of moles. We can use the Ideal gas equation:
[tex] PV = nRT [/tex]
Where:
P: is the pressure = 0.945 atm
V: is the volume = 25.0 mL
R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)
T: is the tempearture = 22.5 °C
[tex]n = \frac{PV}{RT} = \frac{0.945 atm*25 mL*\frac{1 L}{1000 mL}}{0.082 L*atm/K*mol*(22.5 + 273) K} = 9.75 \cdot 10^{-4} moles[/tex]
Hence, the mass is:
[tex]m = 9.75 \cdot 10^{-4} moles*44.01 g/mol = 0.043 g[/tex]
Therefore, 0.043 grams were collected.

How many grams of KNO3 can dissolve in 100g of water at 20°C?
Answer:
30 grams of KNO3 can be dissolved.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a certain amount of solvent, usually 100 grams of water as function of the temperature, we will need to recall the graph for the solubility of KNO3 as shown on the attached file.
Thus, by identifying the curve for KNO3, we realize that at a temperature of 20 °C, the solubility is about 30 grams; which means 30 grams can be dissolved in 100 grams of water at 20 °C.

You have been observing an insect that defends itself from enemies by secreting a caustic liquid. Analysis of the liquid shows it to have a total concentration of formate plus formic acid (Ka =1.8 x 10^-4) of 1.45 M; the concentration of formate ion is 0.015 M. What is the pH of the secretion?
Answer:
pH = 1.76
Explanation:
The mixture of formate and formic acid produce a buffer. The pH of the buffer is obtained using H-H equation as follows:
pH = pKa + log [A-] / [HA]
Where pH is the pH of the buffer:
pKa = -log Ka = 3.74
[A-] is molar concentration of conjugate base (Formate) = 0.015M
[HA] is molar concentration of weak acid (Formic acid) = 1.45M - 0.015M = 1.435M
Replacing:
pH = 3.74 + log [0.015M] / [1.435M]

Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Yes, there are multiple combinations.
Firstly, a solvent or soap combination could be used as a polar solvent with soap. In this way, the nonpolar region of the soap molecules would mix directly with the stain while the solvent would surround the soap-stain micelle.
Secondly, another method or way is to have a combination of a nonpolar solvent with no soap. In this method, however, it is the solvent that would mix directly with the stain.

The half life for the radioactive decay of potassium-40 to argon-40 is 1.26×109 years. Suppose nuclear chemical analysis shows that there is 0.359 mmol of argon-40 for every 1.000mmol of potassium-40 in a sample of rock. Calculate the age of the rock.
Answer:
2.42x10⁹ years is the age of the rock
Explanation:
The decay of an isotope follows the equation:
Ln[A] = -kt + Ln[A]₀
Where [A] is amount of isotope after time t, k is decay constant and [A]₀ is the initial amount of the isotope
To find decay constant from half-life:
k = ln2 / half-life
k = ln2 / 1.26x10⁹years
k = 5.501x10⁻¹⁰ years⁻¹
As in the reaction, K-40 produce Ar-40:
[A] = 0.359mmol
[A]₀ = 0.359mmol + 1.000mmol = 1.359mmol
Replacing:
Ln[0.359mmol] = -5.501x10⁻¹⁰ years⁻¹t + Ln[1.359mmol]
-1.3312 = -5.501x10⁻¹⁰ years⁻¹t
t = 2.42x10⁹ years is the age of the rock
g The most stable nucleon in terms of binding energy per nucleon is 56Fe. If the atomic mass of Fe-56 is 55.9349 amu, calculate the binding energy in J/nucleon and in Mev/nucleon for Fe-56. The atomic mass of a proton is 1.00782 amu and the atomic mass of a neutron is 1.00866 amu. Would the binding energy per nucleon for U-235 be larger or smaller than that of Fe-56
Answer:
The binding energy per nucleon of U-235 is lesser than that Fe-56
Explanation:
The binding energy refers to the energy required to hold the nucleons together in the nucleus of an atom.
It also corresponds to the energy that must be supplied in order to disintegrate the nucleus of an atom.
The binding energy per nucleon of elements depends on the number of nucleons present in the nucleus of the atom of that element. It is defined as the binding energy of the nucleus divided by the number of nucleons.
U-235 contains more nucleons than Fe-56, the binding energy per nucleon of U-235 is less than that of Fe-56. This is further confirmed by the fact that the greater the number of protons in the nucleus, the greater the coulumbic repulsion in the nucleus and the lesser the nuclear force of attraction between nucleons.
