Well first off, the inch of mercury is a unit of measure for pressure. It mostly used for barometric pressure in weather reports, refrigeration, and aviation in the US.

Answer: The solubility of oxygen at 682 torr is $4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{A}=K_H\times p_{A}$

Or,

$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{p_{1}}{p_2}$

where,

$C_1\text{ and }p_1$ are the initial concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

$C_2\text{ and }p_2$ are the final concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

We are given:

Conversion factor used: 1 atm = 760 torr

$C_1=1.38\times 10^{-3}M\\p_1=0.27atm\\C_2=?\\p_2=682torr=0.897atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}}{C_2}=\frac{0.27atm}{0.897atm}\\\\C_2=\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}\times 0.897atm}{0.27atm}=4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the solubility of oxygen gas at 628 torr is $4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

A scientist is conducting a Sanger's sequencing experiment to determine the number of polypeptides present in an oligomeric prot

seropon [69]

Answer:

Depends on molecule.

Explanation:

The number of the polypeptide chains present in the oligomer depends on the molecule. Some molecules have more polypeptide chains whereas some of them have less polypeptide chains. For example, Hemoglobin is a oligomer that consists of four Polypeptide Chains, two of these Polypeptide Chains are α-globin molecules, each comprise of 141 amino acids, and the other two are (β, γ, δ, or ε) globins, each consist of 146 amino acids.

Who discovered atomic structure

John Dalton

Although the concept of the atom dates back to the ideas of Democritus, the English meteorologist and chemist John Dalton formulated the first modern description of it as the fundamental building block of chemical structures.

Compare Ion and Radical Atom and molecule Organic and inorganic compounds

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

'An ion has a non-zero electric charge. A radical has an atom with unfilled electron shells and so is very reactive, but is electrically neutral.'

'Atoms are single neutral particles. Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.'

'The primary difference that lies between these organic compounds and inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always have a carbon atom while most of the inorganic compounds do not contain the carbon atom in them.'
