Which of the following statements about the formation of polypeptides from amino acids is true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A.

Explanation:

a. A bond forms between the carboxyl functional group of one amino acid and the amino functional group of the other amino acid.  This is the correct answer because peptide bonding is very specific, only happens between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another.

b. A bond can form between any carbon and nitrogen atom in the two amino acids being joined.  The answer is incorrect because peptide bonding is very specific it can not happen between any carbon or any nitrogen.

c. Polypeptides form by condensation or hydrolysis reactions.  This answer is wrong because hydrolysis does not occur instead of that water is form as a product of this reaction.

d. The reaction occurs through the addition of a water molecule to the am , this answer is wrong, water is formed in this reaction, water is a product of the reaction not a reactant.

Consider the following reaction to generate hydrogen gas: Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) The hydrogen gas is collected by
Helen [10]

Answer:

0.925 atm

Explanation:

By Dalton's Law, the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressure of its components. The vapor pressure of the water is the pressure that some molecules that evaporated do under the liquid surface. The gas and the liquid are at equilibrium. So, the gas mixture is water vapor and hydrogen gas.

Ptotal = Pwater + PH₂

745 = 42 + PH₂

PH₂ = 703 torr

Transforming to atm:

1 atm ------------------760 torr

x ------------------ 703 torr

By a simple direct three rule

760x = 703

x = 0.925 atm

4. Naming Molecules<br> a) Describe how ionic bonds are formed at the atomic level.
RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

Ionic bonds involve a cation and an anion. The bond is formed when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. Another atom, typically a non-metal, is able to acquire the electron(s) to become a negative ion, or anion.

A gas cylinder contains exactly 15 moles of oxygen gas (O2). How many molecules of oxygen are in the cylinder? 4.01 × 1022 molec
kolezko [41]
Moles are used conveniently in chemistry especially in stoichiometric calculations involving reactions. The unit of mole is a collective term that holds 6.022×10^23 particles. These particles is a general term for any small units of matter including molecules, atoms and sub-particles. This ratio of 6.022×10^23 particles to 1 mole is known to be the Avogadro's number. Its exact number is actually <span>6.0221409</span>×10^23. We use this constant in our stoichiometric calculation as follows:

15 moles oxygen * (6.022×10^23 molecules/ 1 mole oxygen) = 9.033×10^24 molecules of oxygen

What would be the voltage (Ecell) of a voltaic cell comprised of Cr (s)/Cr3+(aq) and Fe (s)/Fe2+(aq) if the concentrations of th
zaharov [31]

Answer:

0.35 V

Explanation:

(a) Standard reduction potentials

                            <u> E°/V</u>

Fe²⁺ + 2e- ⇌ Fe; -0.41

Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⇌ Cr; -0.74

(b) Standard cell potential

                                             <u>  E°/V</u>

2Cr³⁺ + 6e⁻ ⇌ 2Cr;               +0.74

<u>3Fe  ⇌ 3Fe²⁺ + 6e-;             </u>  <u>-0.41 </u>

2Cr³⁺ + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺; +0.33

3. Cell potential

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e⁻ ⇌ 2Cr

<u>3Fe  ⇌ 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e- </u>

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹)

The concentrations are not 1 mol·L⁻¹, so we must use the Nernst equation

E = E^{\circ} - \dfrac{RT}{zF}\ln Q

(a) Data

  E° = 0.33 V

   R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

   T = 298 K

   z = 6

   F = 96 485 C/mol

(b) Calculations:  

Q = \dfrac{\text{[Fe}^{2+}]^{3}}{ \text{[Cr}^{3+}]^{2}} = \dfrac{0.25^{3}}{ 0.75^{2}} =\dfrac{0.0156}{0.562} = 0.0278\\\\E = 0.33 - \left (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{6 \times 96485}\right ) \ln(0.0278)\\\\=0.33 -0.00428 \times (-3.58) = 0.33 + 0.0153 = \textbf{0.35 V}\\\text{The cell potential is }\large\boxed{\textbf{0.35 V}}
