Which of the following molecules would be the best hydrogen bond donor?

Chemistry
1 answer:
leva [86]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a hydrogen atom comes in contact with an electronegative atom then it results in the formation of a chemical bond.

More is the electronegativity of combining atom, more stronger will be the bond with hydrogen atom. As a result, the compound formed will not easily give up hydrogen atom upon dissociation.

Whereas less is the electronegativity of atom combining with hydrogen atom, easily it will donate the hydrogen atom upon dissociation.

Since, out of the given option sulfur (S) atom has low electronegativity as compared to oxygen and nitrogen atom.

Hence, CH_{3}SH will easily donate hydrogen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that CH_{3}SH molecule would be the best hydrogen bond donor.

A binding protein binds to a ligand L with a Kd of 400 nM. What is the concentration of ligand when Y is (a) 0.25, (b) 0.6, (c)
Mrac [35]

Answer:

(a) 133.33nm

(b) 600nm

(c) 7,600nm

Explanation:

The concentration of Y can be determined by using the formula:

Y = \dfrac{[L]}{k_d+[L]}

where;

[L] = concentration of the binding ligand.

kd = 400 nm

Thus:

When Y = 0.25; we get :

0.25 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.25 (400 + [L]) = [L]

100 + 0.25[L] = [L]

100 = [L] - 0.25 [L]

100 = 0.75 [L]

[L] = 100/0.75

[L] = 133.33 nm

At, Y = 0.6

0.6 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.6 (400 + [L]) = [L]

240 + 0.6[L] = [L]

240 = [L] - 0.6 [L]

240 = 0.4 [L]

[L] = 240/0.4

[L] = 600 nm

At, Y = 0.95

0.95 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.95 (400 + [L]) = [L]

380 + 0.95[L] = [L]

380 = [L] - 0.95 [L]

380 = 0.05 [L]

[L] = 380/0.05

[L] = 7600 nm

Why is the sky orange and red at sunrise and sunset?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

gas molecules scatter short wavelengths of light (blue and violet) more than long (red and orange) so the sky looks blue. at sunrise and sunset, the light passes through thicker atmosphere and blue light is scattered more, so mostly red and orange light is visible.

Drag each tile to the correct box.
ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

Wind turbines generate electricity by following simple principle. Moving wind transfers energy to the to the blades of the wind mill which results in spinning of the blades. These blades are connected to internal shaft which also starts spinning. This spinning of shaft generates electricity which is further distributed to electrical substations to provide electricity to homes and businesses.

Step 1: Wind moves the blades of the turbine.

Step 2: Internal shaft spins

Step 3: Generator produces electricity

Step 4: Distribution lines carry electricity to substation

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

C.) 2-butyne

Explanation:

Since the molecule has 4 central carbons, it has the prefix but-.

Since the molecule has a triple bond between central carbons, it has an ending of -yne.

Since the triple bond starts on the second carbon, it has a 2 - prefix.
