How are vibrations different between bigger sizes rubber bands and smaller sized rubber bands?

Assuming the kind of vibration you are talking about is the kind where you stretch the rubber band between two points and then "twang" it, then the answer is fairly complex. What happens when you cause the vibrations to start is you make something called a "standing wave". In a standing wave, each particle in the rubber band has a certain amount of energy which causes it to move backwards and forwards, the particles with more energy have a larger "amplitude" (how much they move), and of course the particles with less energy have a smaller amplitude. Now a standing wave has two main components: The amplitude, and the frequency. The amplitude of the whole wave refers to the largest amplitude any particles has. The frequency refers to how often it takes for one of the particles to move between the two furthest away points it can be.
To compare rubber bands, you must remember to keep certain things constant. If you're looking at their vibrations, the amount of energy you use to "twang" the rubber band should be the same each time you twang it (which is the same as applying the same force each time you twang it).

A larger rubber band has more area over which to spread the energy, as well as it has more mass for the energy to move, so the vibrations will have smaller amplitudes, and smaller frequencies, overall vibrating less and with smaller vibrations.

1. Separation of amino acids by ion-exchange Chromatography. Mixtures of amino acids can be analyzed by first separating the mix

mart [117]

a.) Asp and Lys

Asp will elute first from the column because it has less positively charged functional groups than Lys.

b.) Arg and Met

Met will elute first from the column because it has less positively charged functional groups than Lys.

c.) Glu and Val

Glu will elute first from the column because it has more negativity functional groups than Lys and will be not be much retained by the -SO₃⁻ groups from the ion-exchange coloumn.

d.) Gly and Val

Gly will elute first from the column because Lys have a longer alkyl chain which will be attracted by the strongly hydrophobic backbone for the resin.

e.) Ser and Ala

Ser will be eluted first from the column because Ala alkyl chain will be more attracted by the strongly hydrophobic backbone for the resin. Ser have an -OH group which will decrease the hydrophobicity of the alkyl chain and will not be so much retained on the column.

How many moles are in 110 grams of nahco3

yuradex [85]

Molar mass NaHCO₃ = 23 + 1 + 12 + 16 x 3 = 84 g/mol

1 mole ---------- 84 g
? mole ---------- 110 g

moles NaHCO₃ = 110 . 1 / 84

moles NaHCO₃ = 110 / 84

= 1.309 moles

hope this helps!
