Answer:

Amino acids join by linking the acid group of one amino acid to the amino group of another.

Explanation:

Amino acids are organic molecules that form the basic molecules for making proteins and there are. An amino acid comprises of an acidic carboxyl (-COOH) functional group and an amino group (-NH2) as well as a side an organic side chain (R group).

In the formation of proteins, several amino acids join together by the formation of peptide bonds between each amino acids to form a long polypeptide. These peptide bods are formed by the linking of the acidic carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another amino acid, during this process water is removed.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

53.6 grams of silver chloride was produced.

Explanation:

$AgNO_3+HCl+\rightarrow AgCl+HNO_3$

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

Mass of silver nitrate = 50.0 g

Mass of hydrogen chloride = 50.0 g

Mass of silver chloride = x

Mass of nitric acid = 46.4 g

Mass of silver nitrate + Mass of hydrogen chloride =

Mass of silver chloride + Mass of nitric acid

[te]50.0 g+50.0 g=x+46.4 g[/tex]

$x=50.0 g+50.0 g - 46.4 g = 53.6 g$

53.6 grams of silver chloride was produced.

When 6.040 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 18.95 grams of CO2 and 7.759 grams of H

algol [13]

Answer: The empirical formula is $CH_2$ and molecular formula is $C_4H_8$

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 18.95 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 7.759 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 18.59 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 18.59=5.07g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 7.759 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 7.759=0.862g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of C = 5.07 g

Mass of H = 0.862 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{5.07g}{12g/mole}=0.422moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.862g}{1g/mole}=0.862moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.422}{0.422}=1$

For H = $\frac{0.862}{0.422}=2$

The ratio of C : H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is $CH_2$ .

The empirical weight of $CH_2$ = 1(12)+2(1)= 14 g.

The molecular weight = 56.1 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{56.1}{14}=4$

The molecular formula will be= $4\times CH_2=C_4H_8$

What would happen to the water’s boiling point if MgSO4 is added to it?

kirill [66]

Answer:

When Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) dissolves, it separates into its ions: a magnesium ion (Mg2+) and a sulfate ion (SO4 2-), which results in hard water. When hard water and soap are mixed, the magnesium ion reacts with soap molecules and forms a solid material called a precipitate, which does not dissolve.

In a calorimetry experiment, a salt is dissolved in water within an insulating container. The temperature of the solution (surro

Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat released by the solution

= 120 x 3.18 x ( 25 - 14 )

= 4197.6 J

= 4.1976 kJ

This is the heat gain by the salt

so enthalpy change = + 4.1976 kJ

because there is increase in enthalpy

It is endothermic process .
