The bond that holds amino acids together are called peptide bonds

Answer and Explanation:

The bond that holds together the two amino acids is a peptide bond, or a covalent chemical bond between two compounds (in this case, two amino acids). It occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule.

Anastasy [175]

These types of reactions are called endothermic reactions. This is when the system absorbs the heat from the surrounding. In this case, the system is the chemical reaction and the environment is the direct vicinity of the chemical reaction. You notice that the pack becomes cold because heat from the surrounding is being absorb.

The bonds involved in this substance includes ionic bonding and polar covalent.

A 0.25-mol sample of a weak acid with an unknown Pka was combined with 10.0-mL of 3.00 M KOH, and the resulting solution was dil

Masteriza [31]

Answer : The value of $pK_a$ of the weak acid is, 4.72

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of KOH.

$\text{Moles of }KOH=\text{Concentration of }KOH\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }KOH=3.00M\times 10.0mL=30mmol=0.03mol$

Now we have to calculate the value of $pK_a$ of the weak acid.

The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

$HA+KOH\rightleftharpoons HK+H_2O$

Initial moles 0.25 0.03 0

At eqm. (0.25-0.03) 0.03 0.03

= 0.22

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[HK]}{[HA]}$

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

$3.85=pK_a+\log (\frac{0.03}{0.22})$

$pK_a=4.72$

Therefore, the value of $pK_a$ of the weak acid is, 4.72

Identify which of these molecules has the highest boiling point and give the reasoning why in terms of intermolecular force. CHC

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

CH3COOH

Explanation:

CH3COOH has the highest boiling point because it participates in the strongest intermolecular interactions. The -OH group can participate in hydrogen bonding with other -OH groups. Hydrogen bonds are very strong because they are the result of large partial positive charge on the hydrogen and large partial negative charge on the oxygen. When surrounded by other -OH groups, the partial positive charge on the hydrogen can form temporary bonds with the partial negative charge of an oxygen on another molecule. The stronger the intermolecular interactions, the more difficult they are to overcome, thus increasing the boiling point.

The strongest IMF the other molecules participate in are dipole-dipole. These interactions are not as strong as hydrogen bonding.
