Answer:

The general formula is R-CH(NH₂)-COOH

Explanation:

An amino acid is the basic unit of proteins.

As the name suggests, amino acid contains essentially, one amino (NH-) group and a carboxylic group.

Both the amino group and carboxylic groups are attached on the same carbon.

The other two valencies of carbon are satisfied with hydrogen and/or alkyl groups/aryl groups.

The molar absorptivity for aqueous solutions of phenol at 211 nm is 6.17x103L/mol/cm. Calculate the linear range of phenol conce

Scilla [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$\lambda$ = 211 nm, $\sum = 6.17 \times 10^{3} mol/L/cm$

l = 1 cm, 7% < Transmittance < 85%

Suppose the aqueous solution follows Lambert-Beer's law. Therefore,

Absorbance = $-log \frac{\text{Percentage transmittance}}{100}$

Hence, for 7% transmittance the value of absorbance will be as follows.

Absorbance = $-log \frac{7}{100}$

$A_{1}$ = 1.155

For 85% transmittance the value of absorbance will be as follows.

Absorbance = $-log \frac{85}{100}$

$A_{2}$ = 0.07058

According to Lambert-Beer's law.

A = $\sum \times l \times C$

where, A = absorbance

$\sum$ = molar extinction coefficient

C = concentration

Therefore, concentration for 7% absorbance is as follows.

$A_{1} = \sum \times l \times C_{1}$

$C_{1}$ = $\frac{1.155}{6.17 \times 10^{3} \times 1}$

= $0.187 \times 10^{-3} mol/L$

= 0.187 mmol/L

Concentration for 85% absorbance is as follows.

$A_{2} = \sum \times l \times C_{2}$

$C_{2}$ = $\frac{0.07058}{6.17 \times 10^{3} \times 1}$

= $0.01144 \times 10^{-3} mol/L$

= 0.01144 mmol/L

Thus, we can conclude that linear range of phenol concentration is 0.01144 mmol/L to 0.187 mmol/L.

The heat of vaporization of 1–pentanol is 55.5 kJ/mol, and its entropy of vaporization is 148 J/K•mol. What is the approximate b

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

375 K

Explanation:

Using the experssion shown below as:

$\Delta G^0=\Delta H^0_{vap}-T\Delta S^0_{vap}$

At vaporization point, the liquid and the gaseous phase is in the equilibrium.

Thus,

$\Delta G^0=0$

So,

$Delta H^0_{vap}=T\Delta S^0_{vap}$

Given that:

$Delta H^0_{vap}=55.5\ kJ/mol$

Also, 1 kJ = 10³ J

So,

$Delta H^0_{vap}=55500\ J/mol$

$\Delta S^0_{vap}=148\ J/K.mol$

So, temperature is :

$T=\frac{Delta H^0_{vap}}{\Delta S^0_{vap}}$

$T=\frac{55500}{148}$

T= 375 K

Which statement best describes the properties of covalent compounds?

AnnyKZ [126]

Covalent network. A solid that is extremely hard, that has a very high melting point, and that will not conduct electricity either as a solid or when molten is held together by a continuous three-dimensional network of covalent bonds. Examples include diamond, quartz (SiO 2 ), and silicon carbide (SiC). The electrons are constrained in pairs to a region on a line between the centers of pairs of atoms.
