Chapter 2, Problem 7SQ

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which the pH scale is used to measure the acidity.

Introduction: The hydrogen atoms that are involved in a chemical bond or chemical reaction can easily lose its electron and forms hydrogen ion (H+). The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Based on this, the nature of the solution can be identified.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To identify: The strongest acid from the given pH values of 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To identify: The strongest base from the given pH values of 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To identify: The pH at which the bacterium Thiobacillus thioparis can damage ancient marble from the given pH values of 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.

8. Aerobic respiration of a 5 mM solution of tripeptide that is composed of the following three amino acids; alanine, leucine and isoleucine. Alanine breaks down to pyruvate, leucine breaks down to Acetyl-CoA and isoleucine breaks down to succinyl-CoA. Alanine NADH FADH2 OP ATP SLP ATP Total ATP Leucine Isoleucine Totals Show your work using dimensional analysis here: 4
9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=
