In a particular enzyme, an alanine residue is located in a cleft where the substrate binds. A mutation that changes this residue

to a glycine has little effect on activity; however, another mutation, which changes the alanine to a glutamate residue, leads to a complete loss of activity. Provide a brief explanation for these observations.

Explanation:

There are non-polar side chains also present in alanine. And, these non-polar side chains are involved in some hydrophobic interactions in active sideand then it changes into polar amino acid glutamate that will destroy the hydrophobic interaction.

Whereas in glycine there is only hydrogen present in the side chain therefore, it will not affect much.

1.00 L of a gas at STP is compressed to 473mL. What is the new pressure of gas?
Ratling [72]

Hello!

1.00 L of a gas at STP is compressed to 473 mL. What is the new pressure of gas?

  • <u><em>We have the following data:</em></u>

Vo (initial volume) = 1.00 L  

V (final volume) = 473 mL → 0.473 L  

Po (initial pressure) = 1 atm (pressure exerted by the atmosphere - in STP)  

P (final pressure) = ? (in atm)

  • <u><em>We have an isothermal transformation, that is, its temperature remains constant, if the volume of the gas in the container decreases, so its pressure increases. Applying the data to the equation Boyle-Mariotte, we have:</em></u>

P_0*V_0 = P*V

1*1 = P*0.473

1 = 0.473\:P

0.473\:P = 1

P = \dfrac{1}{0.473}

\boxed{\boxed{P \approx 2.11\:atm}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\green{\checkmark}

<u><em>Answer:  </em></u>

<u><em>The new pressure of the gas is 2.11 atm  </em></u>

Answer:

FeCl3 is the limiting reactant

O2 is in excess

Theoretical yield Cl2 = 9.84 grams

The % yield is 96.5 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of FeCl3 = 15.0 grams

Moles O2 = 4.0 moles

Mass of Cl2 produced = 9.5 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

4FeCl3 + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 6Cl2

Step 3: Calculate moles FeCl3

Moles FeCl3 = mass FeCl3 / molar mass FeCl3

Moles FeCl3 = 15.0 grams / 162.2 g/mol

Moles FeCl3 = 0.0925 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

FeCl3 is the limiting reactant. Because we have way more (more than ratio 3:4) moles O2 than FeCl3. It will completely be consumed (0.0925 moles). O2 is in excess. There will react = 0.069375 moles O2

There will remain 4.0 - 0.069375 = 3.930625 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles Cl2

For 4 moles FeCl3 we need 3 moles O2 to produce 2 moles Fe2O3 and 6 moles Cl2

For 0.0925 moles FeCl3 moles we'll have 6/4 * 0.0925 = 0.13875 moles Cl2.

Step 6: Calculate mass Cl2

Mass Cl2 = moles * molar mass

Mass Cl2 = 0.13875 moles * 70.9 g/mol

Mass Cl2 = 9.84 grams

Step 7: Calculate % yield

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%

% yield = (9.5 grams / 9.84 grams ) * 100%

% yield = 96.5 %

The % yield is 96.5 %

How many seconds are there in two 24 hour days?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

86,400 seconds in a day.

Explanation:

There are 24 hrs in a day. So there are 2460 mins in a day. ( 1hr=60 mins) So there are 246060 seconds in a day. (1 min = 60 seconds) Therefore 86,400 seconds in a day.
