Almost all amino acids are chiral. The body only uses L amino acids, and proteins are chains of amino acids that in the most sim

ple sense fold up into a single structure by themselves when they are formed. Do you think a cell could live with all D (the opposite of L) amino acids, explain your logic. When I ask 'live', I mean could the organism/cell be composed completely of D amino acids and live (This is just a thought question, don't bother trying to find the answer anywhere…)

Answer:

An organism that is completely composed D amino acids cannot survive.

Explanation:

Most of amino acids in all organism are present in L conformation.As result  in all organism the enzymes are specific for L amino acids but not for D amino acids.

   Bacterial cell wall contain some D amino acids such as D glutamate,D alanine but not entirely composed of D amino acids.

Which of the following molecules is diamagnetic according to molecular orbital theory? A) N₂⁺ B) N₂⁻ C) CN D) CN⁻
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

D) CN⁻

Explanation:

    Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.

On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.

According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.

How many grams do 6.534e+24 molecules of phosphoric acid weigh?
fredd [130]

Answer:

1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Explanation:

To find the mass of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), you should (1) convert molecules to moles (via Avogadro's number) and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass from periodic table).

Molar Mass (H₃PO₄): 3(1.008 g/mol) + 30.974 g/mol + 4(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mas (H₃PO₄): 97.99 g/mol

6.534 x 10²⁴ molecules H₃PO₄                       1 mole                         97.99 g
---------------------------------------------  x  -------------------------------------  x  --------------
                                                            6.022 x 10²³ molecules          1 mole

= 1,063 grams H₃PO₄
