16.9.5, Citric acid cycle, "Krebs cycle"
Krebs cycle is a cycle of reactions in mitochondria as part of aerobic cell respiration in which oxaloacetic acid is regenerated by a series of reactions in which ADP is converted to energy rich ATP, as part of the energy conversion processes in the body.
(Sir Hans Adolf Krebs, Germany / Great Britain, 1900-1981)

12.6.1, Prepare citric acid crystals with lemon juice
Squeeze a lemon with the help of a lemon squeezer and transfer the juice to a beaker.
Add an equal amount of water and boil the liquid gently over a gauze and tripod for quarter of an hour.
Filter the liquid while still hot into an evaporating basin.
The filtrate is a solution of citric acid.
Evaporate the solution on the gauze and tripod until only one third of it remains.
Then put it on one side to cool and crystallize.
The crystals of citric acid obtained in this way are not very pure.
They are usually coloured brown.
To obtain purer crystals, dissolve the impure substance in water and boil the solution with powdered charcoal (preferably "decolorizing" charcoal), for ten minutes.
Then filter the liquid and leave it in a hot place to evaporate and crystallize.

12.6.2, Heat citric acid to form carbon
Put 2 mL of citric acid crystals in a metal spoon.
Hold the end of the spoon in a paper holder and heat the citric acid crystals over a flame.
The first melt and then give off a vapour that ignites and burns with a yellow flame.
A black deposit of carbon remains on the spoon after the reaction, showing that citric acid is an organic substance.
The carbon can be burned off the spoon by continuing the heating.

12.6.5, Citric acid solubility and temperature.
The solubility of solid substances in water usually increases with rise of temperature.
However, calcium citrate is less soluble in hot water than in cold water.
Put 2 mL of calcium carbonate in a test-tube and add drops of citric acid.
Carbon dioxide forms.
When the reaction stops, add more drops of the acid solution until the calcium carbonate has completely dissolved.
The clear liquid is a solution of calcium citrate.
Hold the test-tube in a paper holder and heat the solution over a flame.
A white precipitate of calcium citrate forms in the liquid, because of the lower solubility of calcium citrate at higher temperatures.

12.6.6, Citric acid with sodium hydrogen carbonate solution
C6H8O7 + 3NaHCO3 --> C6H5Na3O7 + 3CO2 + 3H2O
citric acid + sodium hydrogen carbonate --> sodium citrate + carbon dioxide + water
Lemon juice with sodium bicarbonate
Do not use a glass container.
Put lemon juice into a plastic or tin plate container that can be sealed with a lid, e.g. coffee powder tin, film canister.
Squash absorbent paper, e.g. toilet tissue, newspaper, into the container so that it is wedged against the sides of the container, but does not touch the lemon juice.
Sprinkle sodium bicarbonate powder over the paper.
Seal the container then invert it.
The citric acid in the lemon juice reacts with the sodium hydrogen carbonate to form carbon dioxide, which increases the gas pressure in the container and blows off the lid.
Such reactions have been used to make simple rockets.
If the container is attached to a rocket stick, by Newton's third law the force with which the lid is blown off (down), is equal to an equivalent upward force up, so the rocket moves up.
Be careful! Do the experiment outside with a small amount of reactants.
Stand well away from the container after inverting it and do not look down from directly over the container.

12.6.9, Properties of cobalt salts
Co(H2O)6 2+ = pink hexa aqua cobalt (II) ion, hexaaquacobalt (II) ion
1. Heat cobalt carbonate in a small hard glass tube.
The brown residue is cobalt (II) oxide.
CoCO3 --> CoO + CO2
Transfer the oxide to a crucible and heat to redness.
The black residue is cobalt (II) cobalt (III) oxide, Co2O4.
2. Add excess of hot sodium hydroxide solution to 3 cm of a cobalt salt solution.
Note the pink precipitate of cobalt (II) hydroxide.
Note the change to brown cobalt (III) oxide, Co2O3 on exposure to air.
Cobalt (II) hydroxide is soluble in ammonia solution, NH3 (aq) ("ammonium hydroxide"), because of the formation of the complex ion Co(NH)6 2+ .
Co 2+ + 2OH - --> Co(OH)2 (s)
3. Add a suspension of bleaching powder to a test-tube containing a cobalt (II) salt solution.
Note the black precipitate of cobalt (II) hydroxide.
The bleaching powder acts as an alkaline hydroxide and an oxidizer.
Divide the precipitate into two parts.
Add excess hydrochloric acid to one part to obtain a brown solution of the unstable cobalt (II) chloride.
Heat the second part to obtain oxygen gas and a residue containing cobalt (II) oxide.
Cobalt (II) hydroxide behaves as a weak base.
4. Evaporate cobalt (II) chloride solution to dryness and note the blue colour of the anhydrous salt.
Cobalt chloride is stable compare to hydrated iron (II) chloride.
Write on a piece of paper with dilute cobalt chloride solution.
Leave to dry and the writing becomes invisible.
Heat the paper from below and writing appears bright blue, because of dehydration of the salt.
So cobalt chlorine solution is a kind of "invisible ink".
5. Put drops of pink cobalt chloride solution on filter paper, hold it over a flame, see brilliant blue colour of the anhydrous salt.
A weather indicator can be made by soaking white paper in a concentrated solution of cobalt chloride.
6. Cobalt ions with carbonate ions.
Pink cobalt ions solution, Co(H2O)6 2+ , reacts with carbonate ions solution to form gelatinous calcium carbonate precipitate in a pink solution.
Co 2+ (aq) + CO 3 2- (aq) --> CoCO3 (s)
7. Add a dilute solution of ammonia to a cobalt chloride solution to form a green-blue precipitate.
Add excess ammonia to dissolve the precipitate to leave a light brown solution.
Leave to stand to allow oxidation in the air to form a deep red-brown solution.
The same colour change occurs if hydrogen peroxide is used.
Co(H2O)6 2+ + 2NH3 --> Co(H2O)4(OH)2 + 2NH4 +
(Hydrogen ions are detached from the complex ions to form a green-blue neutral complex precipitate).
Co(H2O)6 2+ + 2NH3 --> Co(NH3)6 2+ + 6H2O
(With excess ammonia, the neutral complex dissolves to form a green solution containing hexa amine cobalt (II) ions, hexaaminecobalt (II) ions).
Co(NH3)6 2+ + O2 in the air --> Co(NH3)6 3+
(Leave to stand so that the hexaminecobalt (II) complex is oxidized to deep red-brown hexaminecobalt (III) complex).
2Co(NH3)6 2+ + H2O2 --> 2Co(NH3)6 3+ + 2OH -
(It is the same colour change as above reaction only faster).
8. Add limewater CaOH)2, or sodium hydroxide solution to cobalt chloride solution.
A light blue precipitate forms that on standing the solution turns pink.
Co(H2O)6 2+ + limewater --> Co(H2O)4(OH)2 (neutral complex)
9. Test for aluminium compounds
Put drops of red cobalt chloride solution on filter paper.
Add drops of aluminium sulfate solution.
Dry the filter paper over a flame then ignite it over a ceramic bowl.
The blue ash formed is a test for all aluminium compounds in solution.
10. Tests for heat, heat-sensitive paper
Add cobalt (II) chloride solution to ammonium chloride solution (sal ammoniac).
Dilute this solution until it is pale pink.
Soak absorbent paper in the solution and leave to dry and become almost colourless.
The paper turns bright green colour when heated.

Cracking
Thermal cracking is the use of heat and pressure for controlled breakdown of naphtha, C 10, to form smaller hydrocarbon molecules and light olefins (alkenes)
For example ethylene, propylene butylene, which can later be polymerized.
The process increases the yield of petrol (gasoline), C 6-10, from crude oil and increases the octane rating.
Catalytic cracking
Catalytic cracking is the use of silica or aluminium as a catalyst to lower the temperature needed to break down heavy hydrocarbons in crude petroleum, or liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas to form monomers, e.g. ethane, propane.
The smaller molecules formed by cracking often have branch chains.

Indigenous Chemistry
Detoxification of cycasin
The development of complex detoxification processes by the rainforest Aboriginal peoples of North Queensland was driven by the food needs of that society.
Data, gathered from experiments that attempted to remove toxins, allowed this cultural group to modify and perfect the detoxification processes.
Europeans survived a near-fatal experience after consuming under-processed cycad kernels on the first voyage to Australia by Cook and his party in 1770.
Many of the detoxification processes of poisonous plant foods employed by Aboriginal peoples throughout Australia have been documented.
These detoxification processes provide evidence of Australia's First Nations peoples’ extensive scientific knowledge of chemical and physical processes.
Cycads are a source of carbohydrates, but they contain toxic cycasin, which causes vomiting, nausea and abdominal pains, damage to the nervous system and liver.
Cycasin has been linked to various types of cancer.
Cycasin consists of glucose chemically bound to the active toxic substance, methylazoxymethanol (MMA), C2H6N2O2.
In water, cycasin is broken up into these two parts, thus facilitating the removal of the toxic and water soluble MMA - Methoxymethanol.
This is a slow reaction, so Aboriginal peoples had to discover measures to speed up the reaction, increasing the contact surface with water and the temperature.
If the untreated cycad kernels are consumed, the same reaction happens at a much greater rate in the body due to β-glucosidase), causing acute symptoms.

Cytochromes
Cytochrome C, CYP, myohematin, hematin-protein, C42H52FeN8O6S2
CYP refers to enzymes in the liver and small intestines that use iron to oxidize harmful substances and drugs by making them more water-soluble, the process called "Phase I metabolism".
They may add a hydroxyl group then conjugation to groups such as glucuronide to increase the solubility even further, the process called "Phase 2 metabolism".
Cytochrome P450 catalysed reaction NADPH+ H + + O2 + RH--> NADP + + H2O + R-OH
(Where NADPH is a protein in the endoplasmic reticulum).
Also, CYP affects vascular autoregulation, in the brain and the formation of cholesterol, and steroids.
About 50 CYPs occur in humans.
Just as plants develop new alkaloids to limit their consumption by animals, animals develop new enzymes to metabolise the plant toxins.
Most CYP is anchored to membranes of the microsomal portion of the cell.
After adding an agent to reduce haem, part is exposed to carbon monoxide and if it strongly absorbs light at 450nm wavelength.
compared with the original solution, it must contain CYP, a process called "difference spectroscopy".
