<span>50 quarts of 60% solution and 50 quarts of 40% solution. You want a total of 100 quarts, so we'll use the following expressions x = amount of 60% solution (100 - x) = amount of 40% solution. The total amount of alcohol will be 0.6x + 0.4(100-x) We want the final result to be 100 quarts of 50% solution, so we express that as 0.5 * 100 Now we set them equal to each other, and solve for x 0.6x + 0.4(100-x) = 0.5 * 100 Distribute the .4 0.6x + 0.4*100 - 0.4x = 0.5 * 100 0.6x + 40 - 0.4x = 50 Subtract 40 from both sides and combine the x terms 0.2x = 10 Divide both sides by 0.2 x = 50 Now we know we need 50 quarts of the 60% solution. And we need (100 - 50) = 50 quarts of the 40% solution as well.</span>

Indicate the peptides that would result from cleavage by the indicated reagent: a. Gly-Lys-Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg-Ala-Phe by trypsin b.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a. Gly-Lys + Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg + Ala-Phe

b. Glu-Ala-Phe + Gly-Ala-Tyr

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember which peptidic bonds can break each protease:

-) <u>Trypsin</u>

It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of lysine or arginine.

-) <u>Chymotrypsin</u>

It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine.

With this in mind in "peptide a", the peptidic bonds that would be broken are the ones in the <u>"Lis"</u> and <u>"Arg"</u> (See figure 1).

In "peptide b", the peptidic bond that would be broken is the one in the <u>"Phe"</u> (See figure 2). The second amino acid that can be broken is <u>tyrosine</u>, but this amino acid is placed in the <u>C terminal spot</u>, therefore will not be involved in the <u>hydrolysis</u>.

A certain atom has 11 electrons 8 neutrons and a charge of -1. What is it’s atomic mass
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

20 amu

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.

In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1  charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.

Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.

Atomic mass of given atom:

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu
