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.]

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.

If a tablet of acetaminophen, C8H9NO2, weighs 324 mg, how many moles are there in the tablet? If a tablet of acetaminophen, C8H9
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

2.14*10^{-3} mol

Explanation:

number of moles of C8H9NO2 = \frac{mass}{molar mass}=\frac{324*10^{-3} g}{151.163g/mol}=2.14*10^{-3}mol

The trick is to remember to convert milligrams to grams because molar mass is normally presented in grams per mole

How can a change to another population could affect births and deaths in the parrot population.
forsale [732]

Answer:

read it first

Explanation:

Population change is governed by the balance between birth rates and death rates. If the birth rate stays the same and the death rate decreases, then population numbers will grow. If the birth rate increases and the death rate stays the same, then population will also grow.

Atoms of which types of elements tend to gain electrons? Atoms of which types of elements tend to lose electrons?
ollegr [7]
Atoms of elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons. Metals have few electrons in their valence shells. By losing those electrons, these metals achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule. Nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in their valence shells readily accept electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. An example is the reaction between calcium and oxygen. Calcium is a metal and has 2 valence electrons. Oxygen is a nonmetal and has 6 valence electrons. Calcium gives up its two valence electrons and oxygen accepts them and an ionic bond is established resulting in the formation of anew compound namely calcium oxide.

V(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.00 mL.
d(C₄H₆O₃) = 1.08 g/mL.
m(C₄H₆O₃) = V(C₄H₆O₃) · d(C₄H₆O₃).
m(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.00 mL · 1.08 g/mL.
m(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.4 g.
n(C₄H₆O₃) = m(C₄H₆O₃) ÷ M(C₄H₆O₃).
n(C₄H₆O₃) = 5.4 g ÷ 102 g/mol.
n(C₄H₆O₃) = 0.0529 mol.
n(C₇H₆O₃) = 2.08 g ÷ 138.1 g/mol.
n(C₇H₆O₃) = 0.015 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(C₄H₆O₃) : n(C₉H₈O₄) = 1 : 1.
n(C₉H₈O₄) = 0.015 mol.
m(C₉H₈O₄) = 0.015 mol · 180.16 g/mol.
m(C₉H₈O₄) = 2.71 g; theoretical yield.
percent yield od aspirine = 2.57 g ÷ 2.71 g · 100% = 94.83%.
