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.

Which element has the same number of valence electrons as calcium?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.

Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

<u>Calcium</u> is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.

<u>Sulfur </u>is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.

<u>Potassium</u> is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means  Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.

<u>Neon</u> is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.

<u>Barium</u> an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.

This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.

Question 21
Mumz [18]
There are 2 moles of O stones present in 88 grams of CO2. Why? Well, we can find the amount of moles present in 88 grams of CO2 by dividing the mass by the molar mass. The mass of CO2 comes out to be 88 grams. The molar mass of CO2 comes out to be 44 grams. Because 88 is the mass of CO2 and 44 is the molar mass of CO2, we can divide 88 by 44 to identify that there are 2.0 moles of O atoms present in 88 grams of CO2.

Your final answer: There are 2.0 moles of O atoms present in 88 grams of CO2. Your final answer to this question is D, or 2.0 moles. If you need to better understand, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Given 3.4 grams of x compound with a molar mass of 85 g and 4.2 grams of y compound with a molar mass of 48 g How much of compou
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

4.36~g~XY

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the reaction:

2X + Y_2~->~2XY

If we check the reaction, we will have 2 X and Y atoms on both sides. So, <u>the reaction is balanced</u>. Now, the problem give to us two amounts of reagents. Therefore, we have to find the <u>limiting reagent</u>. The first step then is to find the moles of each compound using the <u>molar mass</u>:

3.4~g~X\frac{1~mol~X}{85~g~X}=0.04~mol~X

4.2~g~Y_2\frac{1~mol~Y_2}{48~g~Y_2}=0.0875~mol~Y_2

Now, we can <u>divide by the coefficient</u> of each compound (given by the balanced reaction):

\frac{0.04~mol~X}{1}=~0.04

\frac{0.0875~mol~Y_2}{2}=0.04375

The smallest value is for "X", therefore this is our <u>limiting reagent</u>. Now, if we use the <u>molar ratio</u> between "X" and "XY" we can calculate the moles of XY, so:

0.04~mol~X\frac{2~mol~XY}{2~mol~X}=0.04~mol~XY

Finally, with the molar mass of "XY" we can calculate the grams. Now, we know that 1 mol X = 85 g X and 1 mol Y_2 = 48 g Y_2 (therefore 1 mol Y = 24 g Y). With this in mind the <u>molar mass of XY</u> would be 85+24 = 109 g/mol. With this in mind:

0.04~mol~XY\frac{109~g~XY}{1~mol~XY}=4.36~g~XY

I hope it helps!
