When a polypeptide is in its native conformation,there are weak interactions between its R groups. However, when it is denatured

there are similar interactions between the protein groups and water.What then accounts for the greater stability of the native conformation?

Answer:

In the unfolded polypeptide, there are ordered solvation shells of water around the protein

groups. The number of water molecules involved in such ordered shells is reduced when the protein

folds, resulting in higher entropy. Hence, the lower free energy of the native conformation.

how many moles of iron will be produced from 6.20 moles of carbon monoxide reacting with excess iron (III) oxide (FeO3) to produ
Gelneren [198K]

0.20 moles of iron will be formed in the reaction.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide to form Fe is to be known first.

the balanced reaction is :

Fe2O3 + 3CO⇒ 2 Fe + 3 CO2

so from the data given the number of moles of carbon monoxide can be known:

3 moles of CO reacted with Fe2O3 to form 2 moles of iron in the reaction.

Number of moles of CO is 6.20 moles

11.6 gm of iron is formed

so the number of moles of iron formed is calculated as

n = mass of iron ÷ atomic weight of iron

  = 11.6 ÷ 55.84

  = 0.20 moles of iron will be formed when 11.6 gram of iron is produced.

If the value for ΔS is postive, and the value for ΔH is negative, thr reaction will be
dmitriy555 [2]

It follows that the reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures Option A.

<h3>What is ΔS ?</h3>

The term ΔS is referred to as the change in the entropy of the system. Now recall that entropy is defined as the degree of disorderliness in a system. If a system is highly disorderly then it means that it has a high entropy. Also, ΔH has to do with the heat change that accompanies a reaction.

We know that both the entropy and the heat change can both either be positive or negative. Now we know that the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS can be used to ascertain whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous. If the result is negative, then the reaction will be spontaneous.

As such, when then it follows that the reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures Option A.

What is the maximum number of moles of Al2O3 that can be produced by the reaction of .4 mol of Al with .4 mol of O2
Darya [45]

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of Al = 0.4

Moles of O2 = 0.4

<u>To determine:</u>

Moles of Al2O3 produced

<u>Explanation:</u>

4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

4 moles of Al produces 2 moles of Al2O3

Therefore, 0.4 moles of Al will produce:

0.4 moles Al * 2 moles Al2O3/4 moles Al = 0.2 moles Al2O3

Similarly;

3 moles O2 produces 2 moles Al2O3

0.4 moles of O2 will yield: 0.4 *2/3 = 0.267 moles

Thus Al will be the limiting reactant.

Ans: Maximum moles of Al2O3 = 0.2 moles
