If, in a peptide chain, there were 85 amino acids each joined by peptide bonds, there would only be 1 N-terminus group that would be present. The N-terminus group is always the start of the chain of a amino acid chain or a protein or a polypeptide. It refers to the free amine group present that is located at the end part of the chain. So, that no matter how many amino acids in a chain there would always be only one N-terminus group.

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

The given statement is true.

As per an estimate, to convert graphite into diamond nearly 1 billion to 3.3 billion years of time is required.

Graphite converts into diamond when high-pressure is applied deep in the earth core.

If one adds 0.1 mol of the weak acid hf (pk_a = 3.2) to a solution with a ph = 2, which species would be most abundant and how m

zavuch27 [327]

$F^{-}$ is most abundant and 6310 times more than HF.

<h3>What is a strong and weak acid?</h3>

When an acid is dissolved in water, all of its molecules disintegrate, making the acid powerful.

When an acid is dissolved in water, only a small number of its molecules disintegrate, making the acid weak. Strong acids have a lower pH than weak acids.

The powerful acids include perchloric acid, chloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, and hydroiodic acid.

Given:

Pka=3..2

pH=7

Let the volume be 1 liter

[HF]=01 M

$pH=pka+log \frac{F^{-}}{HF} \\\\7=3.2+log\frac{F^{-}}{HF} \\3.8=log\frac{F^{-}}{HF}\\ \frac{F^{-}}{0.1}=10^{3.8} \\F^{-}=630.95 M$

Now,

$\frac{F^{-}}{HF}=\frac{630.95}{0.1}\\ =6309.57$

F-:HF= 6309.57:1

Therefore, the most abundant is $F^{-}$ and has 6310 times more than HF is $F^{-}$ .

How does the size of a nanoparticle compare with the size of an atom?

RSB [31]

A nanoparticle is larger than an atom. A nanoparticle is usually made from a few hundred atoms. These particles range from 1 nanometers to 100 nanometers. On the other hand an atom ranges from 0.1 nanometers to 105 nanometers. Using the sizes above, one can clearly see and understand that an atom is smaller.
