Question
Chapter 25, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The equation for the synthesis of orotate from glutamine, aspartate, and carbon dioxide is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Pyrimidine is a heterocyclic nitrogenous base, which is found in the DNA and RNA. DNA has cytosine and thymine as pyrimidines, and RNA has uracil and cytosine has pyrimidines. It is a six-membered ring that contains two nitrogen atoms at 1 and 3 positions.

(10 points) Pulverized coal pellets, which may be ° approximated as carbon spheres of radius r = 1 mm, are burned in a pure oxygen atmosphere at 1450 K and 1 atm. Oxygen is transferred to the particle surface by diffusion, where it is consumed in the reaction C + O₂ →> CO₂. The reaction rate is first order and of the form No2 = k₁C₁₂(r), where k₁ = 0.1 m/s. Neglecting changes in r, determine the steady-state O₂ molar consumption rate in kmol/s. At 1450 K, the binary diffusion coefficient for O2 and CO2 is 1.71 x 10ª m²/s.arrow_forward

Combustion occurs at constant temperature and pressure according to the chemical reaction 2H₂+ O₂→ 2H₂O. Measurements under steady-state conditions at 10 mm from the wall indicate that the molar concentrations of hydrogen, oxygen, and water vapor are 0.10, 0.10, and 0.20 kmol/m³, respectively. The generation rate of water vapor is 0.96x102 kmol/m³s throughout the region of interest. The binary diffusion coefficient for each of the species (H, O̟, and H₂O) in the remaining species is 0.6 X 10-5 m²/s.

An important aspect of the biochemical system design is the effective diffusion coefficient of glucose (A) into the cell- immobilized gel. Consider the experiment shows below where a slab of the cell-immobilized gel of 1.0cm thickness is placed within a well-mixed aqueous solution of glucose maintained at a concentration of 50 mmol/L. The glucose consumption within the cell-immobilized gel proceeds by a zero-order process given by R₁ = -0.05 mmol/(L min). The solubilities of glucose in both the water and the gel are the same; that is, the concentration of the glucose on the water side of the water-gel interface is equal to the concentration of the glucose on the gel side of the water gel interface. A syringe is mounted at the center of the gel carefully excises a tiny sample of the gel for glucose analysis. A Well mixed solution Constant concentration 50nmol/L Living…arrow_forward
