Answer : The correct option is, $-NH_2$

Explanation :

Amino acid : The acid that contains two functional groups that are carboxylic group, $-COOH$ and ammine group, $-NH_2$ .

When the two or more that two amino acids join together with the help of peptide bond, they produces polypeptide chain or protein.

The bond present between the two amino acid is called a peptide bond.

The peptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed between the two molecules when the nitrogen of one amino acid react with the carbon of another amino acid by releasing a water molecule. This is a dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction.

From this we conclude that, only two functional groups carboxylic group, $-COOH$ and ammine group, $-NH_2$ are present in all amino acids.

Hence, the correct option is, $-NH_2$

We can write the balanced equation for the synthesis reaction as
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)

We use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and hydrogen gas H2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2 needed:
mass of H2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2)
= 4.056 g H2

We also use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and chlorine gas CL2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2:
mass of CL2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(70.91 g Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2)
= 142.4 g Cl2

Therefore, we need 4.056 grams of hydrogen gas and 142.4 grams of chlorine gas to produce 146.4 grams of hydrogen chloride gas.

P.1 is a variant of SARS-CoV2. This is the so-called "Brazil variant". It has the amino acid the substitution N501Y in the spike

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

more negative

Explanation:

There are various variants of Coviid virus. The Brazilian variant P also known as Gamma variant is the third variant of the original SARS-CoV2. This variant has raised concerns since it has ability to spread more quickly then previous variants and this is more negative variant. It is assumed that Coviid variant Gamma and Delta has ability to absorb move UV light but this is not proved yet and research is underway.

A student weighed an empty graduated cylinder. It weighed 35.86 g. She then carefully added water to the graduated cylinder unti

Firdavs [7]

Question:

A student weighed an empty graduated cylinder. It weighed 35.86 g. She then carefully added water to the graduated cylinder until it reached the 7.5 mL mark. When she weighed the graduated cylinder again, this time with the 7.5 mL of water in it, it weighed 43.18 g. What was this student's experimental density of water?

Answer:

0.976 g/mL

Explanation:

Weight of empty cylinder = 35.86g

Volume of water = 7.5mL

Weight of cylinder + water = 43.18g

Experimental density = ?

Density of water = Mass of water / volume of water

Mass of water = (Weight of cylinder + water) - Weight of empty cylinder

Mass of water = 43.18 - 35.86 = 7.32g

Density = 7.32 / 7.5 = 0.976 g/mL
