An alpha helix which is 18 amino acids long will have 12 hydrogen bonds.

<h3>What is alpha helix (α-helix) ?</h3>

The alpha helix (α-helix) is a common in the secondary structure of proteins and is a right hand-helix conformation in which every backbone N−H group hydrogen bonds to the backbone C=O. group of the amino acid located four residues earlier along the protein sequence.

The alpha helix is stabilized by hydrogen bonds (shown as dashed lines) from the carbonyl oxygen of one amino acid to the amino group of a second amino acid.

Because the amino acids connected by each hydrogen bond are four apart in the primary sequence, these main chain hydrogen bonds are called "n to n+4.

Which statement describes the formation of metamorphic rocks? Rocks beneath the surface melt. Rocks above the surface are eroded

butalik [34]

Answer:

<h3><em>i gotchu babes!</em></h3>

Explanation:

<h3><u><em>Metamorphic rocks started out as some other type of rock, but have been substantially changed from their original igneous, sedimentary, or earlier metamorphic form. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.</em></u></h3>

Consider the decomposition of a metal oxide to its elements, where M represents a generic metal. M 3 O 4 ( s ) − ⇀ ↽ − 3 M ( s )

Fiesta28 [93]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Consider the decomposition of a metal oxide to its elements, where M represents a generic metal.

$M_3O_4(s)\rightleftharpoons 3M(s)+2O_2(g)$

Substance ΔG°f (kJ/mol)

M₃O₄ -9.50

M(s) 0

O₂(g) 0

What is the standard change in Gibbs energy for the reaction, as written, in the forward direction? delta G°rxn = kJ / mol.

What is the equilibrium constant of this reaction, as written, in the forward direction at 298 K?

What is the equilibrium pressure of O₂(g) over M(s) at 298 K?

Answer :

The Gibbs energy of reaction is, 9.50 kJ/mol

The equilibrium constant of this reaction is, 0.0216

The equilibrium pressure of O₂(g) is, 0.147 atm

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

$PCl_3(l)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)$

First we have to calculate the Gibbs energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

$\Delta G^o=G_f_{product}-G_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta G^o=[n_{M(s)}\times \Delta G^0_{(M(s))}+n_{O_2(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(O_2(g))}]-[n_{M_3O_4(s)}\times \Delta G^0_{(M_3O_4(s))}]$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Gibbs energy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta G^o=[3mole\times (0kJ/mol)+2mole\times (0kJ/mol)]-[1mole\times (-9.50kJ/K.mol)]$

$\Delta G^o=9.50kJ/mol$

The Gibbs energy of reaction is, 9.50 kJ/mol

Now we have to calculate the equilibrium constant of this reaction.

The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard Gibbs free energy is:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = 9.50kJ/mol = 9500 J/mol

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mol

T = temperature = 298 K

K = equilibrium constant = ?

$9500J/mol=-(8.314J/K.mol)\times (298K)\times \ln (K)$

$K=0.0216$

The equilibrium constant of this reaction is, 0.0216

Now we have to calculate the equilibrium pressure of O₂(g).

The expression of equilibrium constant is:

$K=(P_{O_2})^2$

$0.0216=(P_{O_2})^2$

$P_{O_2}=0.147atm$

The equilibrium pressure of O₂(g) is, 0.147 atm
