The hydrogen bonding atoms in melatonin are phospholipids and cholesterol.

<h3>What is Hydrogen bonding?</h3>

This is the type of interaction which involves a hydrogen atom being covalently bound to a more electronegative "donor".

Melatonin controls sleep-wake cycle and has phospholipids and cholesterol which have high affinity for hydrogen bonding.

How many liters would 4.56 mol sulfur dioxide occupy at STP?

algol13

The volume of Sulfur dioxide-SO₂ at STP : = 102.144 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

4.56 mol Sulfur dioxide-SO₂

Required

The volume

Solution

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters/mol.

so for 4.56 mol :

= 4.56 x 22.4 L

= 102.144 L

Answer:

4.26 %

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.249 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant of nitrous acid is 4.50 × 10 ⁻⁴.</em>

<em />

Step 1: Given data

Initial concentration of the acid (Ca): 0.249 M

Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 4.50 × 10 ⁻⁴

Step 2: Write the ionization reaction for nitrous acid

HNO₂(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of nitrite in the equilibrium ([A⁻])

We will use the following expression.

$[A^{-} ] = \sqrt{Ca \times Ka } = \sqrt{0.249 \times 4.50 \times 10^{-4} } = 0.0106 M$

Step 4: Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid

We will use the following expression.

$\alpha = \frac{[A^{-} ]}{[HA]} \times 100\% = \frac{0.0106M}{0.249} \times 100\% = 4.26\%$
