Answer:

Proteins are usually referred to as the large molecules that are made up of amino acids. It plays an important role in the body of living organisms. Some of its functions are as follows-

  • It helps in carrying out the various body process
  • It helps in the transportation of body materials
  • It is one of the main sources of energy
  • It helps in maintaining the immune system of the body
  • It helps in the creation of hormones, enzymes and other types of chemicals.

Answer:

Explanation:

Proteins are a class of macromolecules that perform a diverse range of functions for the cell. They help in metabolism by providing structural support and by acting as enzymes, carriers, or hormones. The building blocks of proteins (monomers) are amino acids.

The standard cell potential Ec for the reduction of silver ions with elemental copper is 0.46V at 25 degrees celsius. calculate
Cloud [144]

Answer : The \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : 2Ag^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o

where,

\Delta G^o = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

E^o = standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times 0.46)=-88780J/mole

Therefore, the \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.
