(a) Glutenin, a wheat protein rich in disulfide bonds, is responsible for the cohesive and elastic character of dough made from

wheat flour. Similarly, the hard, tough nature of tortoise shell is due to the extensive disulfide bonding in its -keratin. What is the molecular basis for the correlation between disulfide-bond content and mechanical properties of the protein?

Answer: Through extensive bonding

Explanation:

Oxidation of two cysteine gives disulphide bonds. They are covalent in nature. Given as;

R-CH2-SH + R'-CH2 +02 = R-CH2-S-S-CH2-R' + H202

They are the stabilizing force behind protein folding the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins being the backbone of our genetic constitution require disulphide bonding to stabilize the peptide molecules and the extent and number of this bonding determines the Resistance of the protein molecule to extreme conditions e.g extreme heat which denatures proteins and elasticity as well.

One difference between mixtures and pure substances is that
defon

Answer:

The mixture is made up of different atoms and pure substance is made up of same type of atom.

The main difference is that mixture can be separated into its component by physical mean while pure substances can not be separated by physical process

Explanation:

Mixture:

  • The properties of the mixture are not same and contains the properties of all those component present in it.
  • it is a combination of one or more Pure substances and can be separated by simple physical methods.
  • it have varying boiling and melting point

Examples are:

  • mixture of salt and sand
  • Salt water is mixture of water and NaCl and can be separated by physical mean.
  • Alloys: its a mixture of different metal
  • Air: mixture of gases

Pure Substance:

Pure substances are those made of same type of atoms all elements and compounds are pure substances.

  • it can not be separated by simple physical mean
  • it have very constant and consistent melting and boiling point

Examples are:

  • Water : contain only water molecule
  • All elements: all elements are pure substance made of same atoms
  • All compounds: can not be separated by physical mean.

A salt bridge is used to provide electrons a path to flow from the electrode of one half-cell to another. TRUE FALSE
kicyunya [14]
It is false. The salt bridge is not a path for electrons, but a path for ions to flow from one half-cell to another. It help to balance the charge between the oxidation and reduction vessels.

Determine the heat of reaction (ΔHrxn) for the combustion of ethanol (C2H5OH) by using heat of formation data: C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

\Delta H_{rxn}=-1234.782kJ

Explanation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n_{i}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(product)_{i}]-\sum [n_{j}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(reactant_{j})]

Where n_{i} and n_{j} are number of moles of product and reactant respectively (equal to their stoichiometric coefficient).

\Delta H_{f}^{0} is standard heat of formation.

So, \Delta H_{rxn}=[2mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(CO_{2})_{g}]+[3mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(H_{2}O)_{g}]-[1mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(C_{2}H_{5}OH)_{l}]-[3mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(O_{2})_{g}]

or, \Delta H_{rxn}=[2mol\times -393.509kJ/mol]+[3mol\times -241.818kJ/mol]-[1mol\times -277.69kJ/mol]-[3mol\times 0kJ/mol]

or, \Delta H_{rxn}=-1234.782kJ
