How many different kinds of monomers are there in proteins?

1 answer:

4 0

There are 20 different type of monomers present in proteins. Amino acids are in reality the monomers of proteins. Out of the 20 amino acids, only 9 are considered essential. The other 11 are of little use to the humans. The nine of the essential amino acids required by humans are Tryptophan, lysine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Methionine and Leucine. The amino acids combine with one another to form different types of proteins. These proteins satisfy a number of our physical functional needs.

Statement:

The best way to measure the mass of an orange is to use a balance. You put the orange and the mass pieces in the same cup on the balance and find out how many centimeters it is. The mass of my orange was 145.

Explanation:

Problem 1

The student has not done a good job in measuring the weight of the orange. In fact, the has complicated his simple problem.

Reasons:

Using the mass pieces and the cup to find the weight of the orange is wrong approach.

He can easily place the orange on the balance and read off the weight.

Centimeters is a unit of length. What length is he measuring and recording?

The unit of weight is in newtons(N).

Mass is not read from a balance. A balance gives the weight of substance. Mass is different from weight.

Problem 2

Rewriting to paragraph to correct the errors:

The best way to measure the mass of an orange is to use a balance. You put the orange on the balance and find out how many newtons it is. The weight in newtons can be converted to mass in kilogram. The mass of my orange will be 145kg.

What is used to represent a bond in an ionic compound ?

Pie

Answer:

Electronegativity difference between 2 atoms

Explanation:

1. If the electronegativity difference (usually called ΔEN) is less than 0.5, then the bond is nonpolar covalent.

2. If the ΔEN is between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond is considered polar covalent

3. If the ΔEN is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.

25.0cm3 of s saturated potassium hydroxide is neutralized by 35.0cm3 of hydrogen chloride acid of concentration 0.75 mol/dm3. Ca

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Concentration of the original $\rm KOH$ solution: approximately $1.05\; \rm mol \cdot dm^{-3}$ .

Explanation:

Notice that the concentration of the $\rm HCl$ solution is in the unit $\rm mol\cdot dm^{-3}$ . However, the unit of the two volumes is $\rm cm^{3}$ . Convert the unit of the two volumes to $\rm dm^{3}$ to match the unit of concentration.

$\begin{aligned} V(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= 25.0\; \rm cm^{3} \\ &= 25.0\; \rm cm^{3} \times \frac{1\; \rm dm^{3}}{1000\; \rm cm^{3}} \approx 0.0250\; \rm dm^{3} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} V(\mathrm{HCl}) &= 35.0\; \rm cm^{3} \\ &= 35.0\; \rm cm^{3} \times \frac{1\; \rm dm^{3}}{1000\; \rm cm^{3}} \approx 0.0350\; \rm dm^{3} \end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm HCl$ molecules in that $0.0350\; \rm dm^{3}$ of $0.75\; \rm mol \cdot dm^{3}$ $\rm HCl\!$ solution:

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{HCl}) &= c(\mathrm{HCl}) \cdot V(\mathrm{HCl}) \\ &= 0.00350\; \rm dm^{3} \times 0.75\; \rm mol \cdot dm^{3} \\ &\approx 0.02625\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

$\rm HCl$ is a monoprotic acid. In other words, each $\rm HCl\!$ would release up to one proton $\rm H^{+}$ .

On the other hand, $\rm KOH$ is a monoprotic base. Each $\rm KOH\!$ formula unit would react with up to one $\rm H^{+}$ .

Hence, $\rm HCl$ molecules and $\rm KOH\!$ formula units would react at a one-to-one ratio.

${\rm HCl}\, (aq) + {\rm NaOH}\, (aq) \to {\rm NaCl}\, (aq) + {\rm H_2O}\, (l)$ .

Therefore, that $0.02625\; \rm mol$ of $\rm HCl$ molecules would neutralize exactly the same number of $\rm NaOH$ formula units. That is: $n(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 0.02625\; \rm mol$ .

Calculate the concentration of a $\rm NaOH$ solution where $V(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 0.0250\; \rm dm^{3}$ and $n(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 0.02625\; \rm mol$ :

$\begin{aligned}c(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{V(\mathrm{NaOH})} \\ &= \frac{0.02625\; \rm mol}{0.0250\; \rm dm^{3}}\approx 1.05\; \rm mol \cdot dm^{-3}\end{aligned}$ .

Explain how the understanding of atomic emission spectrum lead to development of the atomic theory

kiruha [24]

here we have to explain the development of the atomic theory by the atomic emission spectrum.

The most important aid in determining the structure of an atom has been study of radiation emitted and absorbed by the elements. The glowing atoms of an element emit radiations.

These are called the atomic spectra. This study helped to understand the structure of the atoms.

To explain the atomic spectra the Bohr's model was introduced. The postulates of the Bohr's model explain the fine spectrum of the atom up to the particle nature of the electrons.

Later some modification on the Bohr's postulates was made to explain the wave nature of the electrons as well. But the atomic spectra is best be understood by the Bohr's atomic model which developed the atomic theory.

Thus the understanding of emission spectrum of atom to develop the atomic theory is explained.
