Write the balanced equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to form water and oxygen.

Lerok [7]3 years ago

Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, while water is H2O and oxygen (a diatomic gas) is O2. The (unbalanced) reaction is:
H2O2 --> H2O + O2
Notice that the H2O2 has 2 H atoms, and so does H2. This means that both must have the same coefficients, and we can adjust the coefficient of O2. Since H2O2 has 2 O atoms, and H2O has 1, we multiply O2 by 1/2:
H2O2 --> H2O + (1/2)O2
This has an equivalent number of H and O atoms on either side, but we want the coefficients to be whole numbers, so we multiply everything by 2:
2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2

Which reaction is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids?
Bad White [126]

Answer: B. Hydrolysis (adding water)

Explanation:

When peptide bonds join two or more amino acids together, this is refered to as a peptide. A polypeptide simply means several amino acids. We should also note that proteins contains polypeptides.

The reaction that is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids is hydrolysis. This simply means a chemical process whereby a water molecule is being added to a particular substance.

What is the mass of 1.25 L of ammonia gas at STP
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

mass 1.25 Liters NH₃(gas) = 0.949 grams (3 sig-figs)

Explanation:

At STP (Standard Temperature-Pressure conditions => 0°C(=273K) and 1atm pressure,  1 mole <u>any</u> gas will occupy 22.4 Liters.

So, given 1.25 Liters ammonia gas at STP, convert to moles then multiply by formula wt. (17g/mole gives mass of NH₃.

moles NH₃(gas) = 1.25L NH₃(gas)/22.4L NH₄(gas)· NH₃(gas)mole⁻¹ = 0.0558 mole NH₃(gas).  

Converting to grams NH₃(gas) = 0.0558 mole NH₃(gas) x 17 g·mol⁻¹ = 0.949 grams NH₃(gas).
