(a)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The ΔG value at pH 7.0 for the LDH-catalyzed reduction of pyruvate under the given condition.

Concept introduction: Pyruvate is known as the end product of glycolysis that continues in two different conditions. In aerobic process, it undergoes aerobic respiration; whereas in anaerobic process, it undergoes fermentation. There are two types of fermentation that occurs by pyruvate, one is the lactic acid fermentation and the other one is the alcoholic fermentation.

(b)

Draw and explain your answer thoroughly: a. What is the molar mass of aspirin (C9H8O4)?b. What is the mass of 0.00225mol of aspirin?c. How many moles of aspirin are present in 500mg of aspirin?
Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate 5 is converted by general acid-base catalysis to 6, and then to the natural product 7. For clarity only limited atom numbers are shown, but the main chain carbons are numbered 1 to 16, and the off-chain methyl substituents are numbered 17-20.  A. Based on what you specified in A, use curly arrows on the drawing above to convert 5 to 6, and 6 to 7. Invoke general acids and general bases as needed, and draw in hydrogens as necessary  . B. On the structure of 7, write in the atom numbers for the carbons marked with an asterisk
