Principles of General Organic & Biological Chemistry, Chapter 18, Problem 18.40UKC , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

Fatty acid catabolism by β-oxidation produces two-carbon acetyl CoA units. Catabolism of fatty acids starts from conversion of fatty acids into acyl CoA. This process consumes 2 units of ATP. In this process, produced number of acetyl CoA molecules is equal to half of total number of carbon present in fatty acid. Also, number of cycles is 1 fewer than total number of molecules of acetyl CoA formed.

Number of NADH and FADH2 molecules produced in fatty acid catabolism by β-oxidation are equal to number of cycles required to completely catabolize fatty acids.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Number of β-oxidation cycles required in complete catabolism of fatty acid below has to be determined.

k₁ Given the reaction R₂ R + R, indicate k-1 (A). the rate law with respect to R2: (B). the rate law with respect to R: d[R₂] dt d[R] dt
Given the reaction R+ Q → P, indicate (A). the rate law with respect to P: (B). the rate law with respect to R: (C). the rate law with respect to Q: d[P] dt d[R] dt d[Q] dt
The reaction for obtaining NO2 from NO and O2 has the rate equation: v = k[NO]2[O2]. Indicate which of the following options is correct.(A). This rate equation is inconsistent with the reaction consisting of a single trimolecular step.(B). Since the overall order is 3, the reaction must necessarily have some trimolecular step in its mechanism.(C). A two-step mechanism:  1) NO + NO ⇄ N2O2 (fast);   2) N2O2 + O2 → NO2 + NO2 (slow).(D). The mechanism must necessarily consist of three unimolecular elementary steps with very similar rate constants.
