Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, is in multiples of 10.

Explanation:

The metric system refers to an internationally acclaimed decimalized system of measurement. It is used globally, and it is the most usual or the only system of measures and weight in the places where it is adopted.

As the metric system is a decimal system of measures and weight, it is easy to transform in between the units, for example, from grams to kilograms, or from millimeters to meters, basically by dividing or multiplying by 10, 100, 1000, and others. Usually, this is the case of moving the decimal point to the left from the right.

For the elementary reaction NO3 + CO → NO2 + CO2 the molecularity of the reaction is ________, and the rate law is rate = ______

blagie [28]

Answer: For the elementary reaction $NO_3+CO\rightarrow NO_2+CO_2$ the molecularity of the reaction is 2, and the rate law is rate = $k[NO_3]^1[CO]^1$

Explanation:

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

Molecularity of the reaction is defined as the number of atoms, ions or molecules that must colloid with one another simultaneously so as to result into a chemical reaction. Thus it can never be fractional.

For elementary reaction $NO_3+CO\rightarrow NO_2+CO_2$ , molecularity is 2 and rate law is $rate=k[NO_3]^1[CO]^1$

A + B = C + D + heat

Marrrta [24]

The reaction is an exothermic one because heat is released to the surroundings. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction where energy is being released as the reaction by light or heat. On the other hand, endothermic reaction needs energy input for the reaction to proceed.

Hank's Garage has an air compressor with a holding tank that contains 200L of compressed air at 5200 torr. One day a hose ruptured and all the compressed air was released to a volume of 1370 L at atmospheric pressure.

Hank's Garage has an air compressor with a holding tank that contains a volume of 200L (V₁) of compressed air at a pressure of 5200 torr (P₁).

One day a hose ruptured and all the compressed air was released. The final pressure was the atmospheric pressure (1 atm = 760 torr) (P₂).

We can calculate the new volume (V₂) in these conditions using Boyle's law, which states there is an inverse relationship between the volume and the pressure of an ideal gas.

$P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\\\V_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{P_2} = \frac{5200 torr \times 200L}{760torr} = 1370 L$

Determine the primary structure of an octapeptide from the following data: acid-catalyzed hydrolysis gives 2 arg, leu, lys, met,

erma4kov [3.2K]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The sequence of these amino acid would be

Lue Arg Lys Arg Met Phe Arg Ser

Explanation:

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis from makes us to understand that the polypeptides contains 8 amino acids

From the question we are told that the Edman's reagent releases Leu it means that the N-terminal amino acid would be Lue(i.e Leucine)

Also from the question we are told that the Carboxypeptidase released Ser this mean the the C-terminal amino acid would be Ser ( i.e Serine)

The Amino acids would in the polypeptides would be arranged like this

Lue __ __ __ __ __ __ Ser

Now from the question we are told that treatment with cranogen bromide form two peptides.

Now generally cranogen bromide divides a peptide on the C- side(i.e the extreme left side ) of Met(Methionine)(This is an amino acid obtained by hydrolysis of most common peptides )

So this means that any peptides containing Met(Methionine) must have Methionine as a C- terminal amino acid(i.e at extreme left) and for peptides that does not contain Met must be C - terminal peptides

From the question we see that it is the second peptide that contain Met and it is a penta peptide(i.e it contains 5 amino acid)

Thus the fifth amino acid is Met

So the sequence of these amino acid would now be

Lue __ __ __ Met __ __ Ser

From the question we are told that the the Trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis forms two amino acid and two peptides

Now generally Trypsin divides a peptide on the C- side(i.e the extreme left) of Arg(Arginine) and Lys (lysine) and any peptide that holds Arg or Lys must have them as their C- terminal amino acids

From the first peptide in the two peptide formed we see that Arg would be the Seventh amino acid of the octapeptide because commonly the trypsin that sticks to the C-side of Arg would for Ser

and Phe would be the sixth amino acid of the octapeptide

So the sequence of these amino acid would be

Lue __ __ __ Met Phe Arg Ser

Looking at the first amino acid formed from the Trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis we see that Arg would be the fourth amino acid of octapeptide as Trypsin divides a peptide on the C- side(i.e the extreme left) of Arg(Arginine).

From the second peptide of the Trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis we see that Lys would be the third amino acid of the octapeptide as trypsin divides on the C- side of Lys (lysine) and Tyr would be the second amino acid of the octapeptide

So the sequence of these amino acid would be

Lue Arg Lys Arg Met Phe Arg Ser
