How many acetyl coa molecules may be obtained from oxidation of a 16-carbon fatty acid?

The oxidation of a 16-carbon fatty acid produces 8 acetyl CoA molecules. A 16-carbon fatty acid is a palmitic acid. To determine the number of moles produced in the oxidation reaction, divide the number of carbon chains in the fatty acid by 2. 

16 moles / 2 = 8 moles CoA 

This is what i found on google “when one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and atp is converted to adenosine diphosphate (adp). likewise, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from adp to form adenosine monophosphate (amp).” i hope this you .
