- The Eo values for the NAD/NADH and Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate/1,3- Bisphosphoglycerate conjugate redox pairs are -0.32 V and -0.19 V, respectively. Beginning with 1 M concentrations of each reactant and product at pH 7 and 25 C, which statement is TRUE? Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate would become oxidized; NAD would become reduced. No reaction would occur because all reactants and products are already at their standard concentrations. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate would become oxidized; NADH2 would be unchanged because it is a cofactor. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate would become oxidized; NAD and NADH would become reduced. 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate would become reduced; NADH would become oxidized.Consider the following questions about glutamate dehydrogenase.(a) The reaction has NH3 as a reactant, instead of NH4+, which is far more abundant at physiological pH. Why is NH3 preferred?(b) Glutamate dehydrogenase has a KM for ammonia (NH3) of ~1 mM.However, at physiological pH, the dominant ionic species is ammoniumion, NH4+ (pKa = 9.2). Calculate the velocity (as a fraction of Vmax) that would be achieved by glutamate dehydrogenase if the total intracellularammonia concentration (NH3 + NH4+) is 100 mM (approximatephysiological concentration). Assume a mitochondrial matrix pH of 8.0.(c) The thermodynamic equilibrium for the reaction greatly favors aketoglutarate reduction; yet in mitochondria the enzyme acts primarily to oxidize glutamate to a-ketoglutarate. Explain.(d) Propose a reasonable mechanism for this reaction.Potassium permanganate solutions used in oxidation-reduction titrations are sometimes standardized against Fe²⁺ ion. The reaction involved is 8H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5Fe²⁺(aq) → 5Fe³⁺(aq) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 4H₂O(l). A convenient source for Fe²⁺ ion is ammonium iron(II) sulfate, (NH₄)₂Fe(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₆ (FW = 392.14), also known as Mohr's salt, which is readily crystallized, and the crystals resist oxidation by air. A 0.6735 g sample of Mohr's salt is dissolved in 100 mL of acid solution, and the permanganate solution is added slowly from a buret. The endpoint is reached when 17.86 mL of the permanganate solution has been added. Calculate [MnO₄⁻], the molar concentration of the permanganate solution. Note: 0.0461 M and 0.0462 M are incorrect
