Chapter 23, Problem 23.70QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The condition when the brain uses ketone bodies as a source of energy has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

When the body starves for prolonged periods or when the diets are carbohydrates restricted in such a situation the brain gets inadequate glucose thus the human body has evolved a manner to replenish the inadequacy of glucose. In such a situation, the ketone bodies are synthesized by the utilization of fatty acid stored in the liver via a process called ketogenesis. These ketone bodies such as acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate   acts as fuel for the brain that itself is unable to metabolize the fatty acids.

6. Consider the following exothermic reaction below. 2Cu2+(aq) +41 (aq)2Cul(s) + 12(aq) a. If Cul is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). b. If Cu2+ is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). c. If a solution of AgNO3 is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). d. If the solvent hexane (C6H14) is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). Hint: one of the reaction species is more soluble in hexane than in water. e. If the reaction is cooled, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). f. Which of the changes above will change the equilibrium constant, K?
