Answer:

As proteins vary widely in structures than that of nucleic acid there will be greater structural  and functional diversity of proteins  than nucleic acid.

Explanation:

Proteins are the macromolecules which have more structural diversity than any other macromolecules such as carbohydrate,lipid,nucleic acid.

  The are 4 types of protein structure primary structure,secondary structure,tertiary structure and Quaternary structure.Due the existence of many types of structure various protein exhibit various functions.

 On the other hand nucleic acid such as DNA has widely accepted secondary structure discovered by watson and crick.As a result there is no such structural diversity exist in nucleic acid.

what is the empirical formula of vanadium 1 oxide given that 20.38 grams of vandium combines with oxygen to form 23.58 grams of
Alex

Answer:

The empirical formula is V₂O

Empirical formula of a compound is the formula that shows the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms of elements in a given compound. Empirical formula is normally calculated when the mass of each element in a compound is known or the percentage composition by mass of each element in a compound is known.

Step by Step Explanation:

Step 1: Percentage composition of each element

Percentage composition=(mass of an element/ mass of the compound)100%

Mass of Vanadium = 20.38 g

Mass of the compound = 23.58 g

% composition of Vanadium = (20.38 g/23.58 g) 100%

                                                 = 86.43 %

Mass of Oxygen = 23.58 g -20.38 g

                           = 3.2 g

% composition of oxygen = (3.2/g/23.58 g) 100%

                                          =  13.57%

Step 2: Find the number of atoms of each element in the compound

Number of atoms  = percentage composition/ atomic mass

Atomic mass of Vanadium = 50.94 g/mol

Number of atoms of V = 86.43 /50.94

                                  = 1.6967

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Number of atoms of O = 13.57/16

                                      = 0.8481

Step 3:  Find the simplest ratio of atoms

Vanadium : Oxygen

            1.6967 : 0.8481

= 1.6967/0.8481 : 0.8481/0.8481

= 2: 1

Whole number ratio = 2 : 1

Therefore; the empirical formula is V₂O

If 15 g of C₂H₆ reacts with 60.0 g of O₂, how many moles of water (H₂O) will be produced?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

n_{H_2O}=1.5molH_2O

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2C_2H_6 + 7O_2 \rightarrow 4CO_2 + 6H_2O

Next, we identify the limiting reactant by computing the available moles of ethane and the moles of ethane consumed by 60.0 grams of oxygen:

n_{C_2H_6}^{available}=15g*\frac{1mol}{30g} =0.50molC_2H_6\\n_{C_2H_6}^{reacted}=60.0gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2}*\frac{2molC_2H_6}{7molO_2} =0.536molC_2H_6

Thus, we notice there are less available moles, for that reason, the ethane is the limiting reactant. Finally, we can compute the produced moles of water by:

n_{H_2O}=0.50molC_2H_6*\frac{6molH_2O}{2molC_2H_6}\\\\n_{H_2O}=1.5molH_2O

Best regards.
