What is the structure of hair?

Chemistry

Arturiano [62]3 years ago

The basic protein of hair is the keratin. Keratin is a fibrous protein which is insoluble in water. Fibrous proteins are long and narrow strands. Keratin molecules are held by hydrogen bonds, giving hair its structure.

Hydrogens bonds are easily broken and formed; [for example straightening curly hairs. Hydrogen bonds are broken when heated, hairs are straightened, the hydrogen bonds form again holding its stucture (straight) unless water is applied which disrupt the hydrogen bonds.]

Hope it helped!

A protective layer composed of overlapping cells, like fish scales or roof tiles, but facing downwards. The outer cuticle holds your hair in your hair follicle by means of a Velcro-like bond. It also minimizes the movement of water (moisture) in and out of the underlying cortex.

How many grams of Al2O3are present in 7.1 x 10^22 molecules of Al2O3?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

13.4g

Explanation:

we know that:

1 mole = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms

make the unknown number of moles = x

x = 7.1 × 10²² atoms

putting them both together:

1 mole = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms

x = 7.1 × 10²² atoms

Cross multiply:

6.02 × 10²³ x = 7.1 × 10²²

divide both sides by 6.02 × 10²³

x =  \frac{7.1  \times  10²² }{  6.02 × 10²³}

x =  \frac{71}{602}

we now have the number of moles of Al₂CO₃

to calculate the grams (mass):

moles =  \frac{mass}{relative \: formula \: mass}

mass = moles \:  \times  \: relative \: formula \: mass

add up all of the atomic masses of Al₂CO₃ to calculate relative formula mass:

(27 × 2) + 12 + (16 × 3) = 114

the grams (mass) of Al₂CO₃:

\frac{71}{602}  \times 114 = 13.4g

A volume of 75.0 mL of H2O is initially at room temperature (22.00 ∘C). A chilled steel rod at 2.00 ∘C is placed in the water. I
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: 17.78g

Explanation:

Assume there is no heat exchange with the environment, then the amount of heat taken by the steel rod, Q(s), is equal to the amount of heat lost by the water, Q(w), but with opposite sign.

Q(s) = -Q(w)

Remember, Q = mc(ΔΦ)

Where Q = amount of heat

m = mass of steel

c = specific heat capacity of steel

ΔΦ = Initial temperature T1 - Final temperature T2

Q = mc(T1-T2)

Recall, Q(s) = -Q(w). Then,

m(s)*c(s)*(T1s - T2s) = - m(w)*c(w)*(T1w - T2w)

Substituting each values

Note: m(w) = volume of water*density = 75mL*1g/mL = 75g

m(s)*0.452*(21.5-2) = -75*4.18*(21.5-22)

m(s)*8.814 = 156.75

m(s) = 156.75/8.814

m(s) = 17.78g

Therefore, the mass of steel is 17.78g
