When a double bond is placed between two carbon atoms in oelic acid, the shape of the molecule tends to bend. This is a similar occurrence of shape changing in general with fatty acids when a double bond forms

Although the molecule is broken up it does not change the fact that it is carbon dioxide. Therefore you still have carbon dioxide.

Do benzene dissolve in CCl4?

Benzene is a nonpolar molecule as well as carbon tetrachloride, however water is a polar molecule. Based on the rules of solubility, "like dissolves like"; the attraction between nonpolar molecules have the same kind of interaction and strength but the attractions between the highly polar molecule of water are very different, therefore substituting these attractions for new attraction with benzene will require a greater change in enthalpy.

What are the Products of the Krebs cycle per molecule of pyruvate?

For one molecule of Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) the Krebs cycle produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2), 3 molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2, and one molecule of ATP.Also, the change from pyruvate to acetyl CoA produces one NADH and one carbon dioxide molecule; CoA is recycled in and out of the cycle.
