Chapter 8.4, Problem 8.32QAP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To find if succinic acid oxidized or reduced: Succinic acid is converted to fumaric acid in the citric acid cycle by the following reaction:

  C4H6O4C4H4O4  + 2H

Concept Introduction:

If a compound accepts hydrogen atoms then the compound undergoes reduction reaction. But if the compound loses hydrogen atoms then the compound undergoes oxidation reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

To find if FAD oxidized or reduced: The reaction is accompanied by the reaction of a coenzyme, flavin adenine dinucleotide(FAD).

  FAD + 2HFADH2

Concept Introduction:

If a compound accepts hydrogen atoms then the compound undergoes reduction reaction. But if the compound loses hydrogen atoms then the compound undergoes oxidation reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Succinic acid is converted to fumaric acid in the citric acid cycle by the following reaction:

  C4H6O4C4H6O4  + 2H

The reaction is accompanied by the reaction of a coenzyme, flavin adenine dinucleotide(FAD).

  FAD + 2HFADH2

To find the reason two reactions occur together.

Concept Introduction:

If a compound accepts hydrogen atoms then the compound undergoes reduction reaction. But if the compound loses hydrogen atoms then the compound undergoes oxidation reaction.
