A polypeptide in its native conformation has weak interactions between its R groups. However, when that same polypeptide is dena

tured, these R groups similarly interact with water. Why, then, is the native structure more stable than the denatured one

Answer:

A protein is more stable in its native form, because apart of weak interactions between R groups, it also presents other stronger interactions, as those including covalent bonds  

Explanation:

For example, covalent bonds between sulfur atoms when disulfide bridges are built.  These links are very difficult to break and maintains the protein shape.  Disulfide bonds are a few but they use to incide in the structure of native proteins

pashok25 [27]
The protons of methylene group between the two carbonyl groups in ethylacetoacetate are acidic in nature. When compounds containing such acidic protons are treated with bases the loose proton and form enolates.

In this particular example when ethylacetoacetate is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide, the methyl group abstracts the acidic proton and converts into methane gas. The enolate when hydrolyzed is again converted into ethylacetoacetate as shown below,

Coal containing 15.0% H2O, 2.0% S and 83.0% C by mass is burnt with the stoichiometric amount of air in a furnace. What is the m
devlian [24]

Answer:

This is a coal combustion process and we will assume

Inlet coal amount = 100kg

It means that there are

15kg of H2O, 2kg of Sulphur and 83kg of Carbon

Now to find the mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust?

Molar mass of S = 32kg/kmol

Initial moles n  of S = 2/32 = 0.0625kmols

Reaction:  S + O₂ = SO₂

That is 1 mole of S reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to give 1 mole of SO₂

Then, it means for 0.0625 kmoles of S, we will have 0.0625 kmole of SO2 coming out of the exhaust

The mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust=0.0625kmols

Does anyone know how to do this? the solubility of barium carbonate, BaCO3, is 0.0100 g/L. Its molar mass is 197.3 g/mol. What i
g100num [7]
It's simple, just follow my steps.

1º - in 1 L we have 0.0100~g of BaCO_3

2º - let's find the number of moles.

\eta=\frac{m}{MM}

\eta=\frac{0.0100}{197.3}

\boxed{\boxed{\eta=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol}}

3º - The concentration will be

C=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol/L

But we have this reaction

BaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ba^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}

This concentration will be the concentration of Ba^{2+}~~and~~CO_3^{2-}

K_{sp}=\frac{[Ba^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]}{[BaCO_3]}

considering [BaCO_3]=1~mol/L

K_{sp}=[Ba^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]

and

[Ba^{2+}]=[CO_3^{2-}]=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol/L

We can replace it

K_{sp}=(5.07\times10^{-5})*(5.07\times10^{-5})

K_{sp}\approx25.70\times10^{-10}

Therefore the K_{sp} is:

\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{K_{sp}\approx2.57\times10^{-11}}}}

It was calculated that 4.3mL of 0.417 M HCl is required to titrate 11.9 mL of 0.151 M Mg(OH)2. Show evidence 2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the described chemical reaction:

2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

We can notice there is a 2:1 molar ratio between the moles of hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide, therefore, at the equivalence point:

n_{HCl}=2*n_{Mg(OH)_2}

And in terms of volumes and concentrations we verify:

V_{HCl}M_{HCl}=2*V_{Mg(OH)_2}M_{Mg(OH)_2}

So we use the given data to proof it:

4.3mL*0.417M=2*11.9mL*0.151M\\1.793=3.594

Therefore, we can conclude the data is wrong by means of the 2:1 mole ratio that for sure was not taken into account. This is also supported by the fact that normalities are actually the same, but the nomality of magnesium hydroxide is the half of the hydrochloric acid normality since the acid is monoprotic and the base has two hydroxyl ions.

Best regards.
