How does coenzyme A produce proton from pyruvate ions?
The reversible conversion of pyruvate ion and coenzyme A (CoA) into $\ce{acetyl-CoA}$ and formate ion (Figure 1) is not a one step reaction but a complex multistep radical reaction (Ref.1), thus it is ...

What will happen if the electrolysis of Brine takes place for a long time?
If the electrolysis is done without a separation membrane, the chlorine gas will partly be dissolved in the solution and react with NaOH according to : $\ce{2 NaOH + Cl2 -> NaClO + NaCl + H2O}$. So ...

Reduction of unsymmetrical ketones using BINAL-H (Enantioselectivity)
I think our readers need a good explanation for this question based on user55119's comment "The question arises, why isn't the alkynyl group in the TS axial having a smaller A-value than the ...

Spontaneous reaction between chlorine and a hypothetical atom
This thought experiment needs more thinking. Both scenarios are essentially Born-Haber cycles not possible mechanisms. Forming a positive ion always requires energy so that makes equations 4,5,6 not ...

Spontaneous reaction between chlorine and a hypothetical atom
There is a flaw in hypothesis 1 - getting the atoms "really close" will provide activation energy.
At sufficiently close distance the combined electron Pauli repulsion and nuclear core ...
