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.

Thanks for your question!

The answer is science influencing technology, as it was discovered in a science experiment. It doesn't really influence society as much because it doesn't influence the way people act, just the how things work.

Hope this helped!

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!! CHEMISTRY QUESTION: If 38 g of Li3P and 15 grams of Al2O3 are reacted, what total mass of products will r
maksim [4K]

Answer:

21.5 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between the given compounds is:

2Li_3P+Al_2O_3\rightarrow 3Li_2O+2AlP

We can see that according to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, the total mass of products equals the total mass of reactants based on the stoichiometric proportions; in such a way, we first need to compute the reacted moles of Li3P as shown below:

n_{Li_3P}^{reacted}=38gLi_3P*\frac{1molLi_3P}{51.8gLi_3P}=0.73molLi_3P

Now, the moles of Li3P consumed by 15 g of Al2O3:

n_{Li_3P}^{consumed \ by \ Al_2O_3}=15gAl_2O_3*\frac{1molAl_2O_3}{101.96gAl_2O_3} *\frac{2molLi_3P}{1molAl_2O_3} =0.29molLi_3P

Thus, we infer that just 0.29 moles of 0.73 react to form products; which means that the mass of formed products is:

m_{Li_2O}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{3molLi_2O}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{29.88gLi_2O}{1molLi_2O} =13gLi_2O\\\\m_{AlP}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{2molAlP}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{57.95gAlP}{1molAlP} =8.5gAlP

Therefore, the total mass of products is:

m_{products}=13g+8.5g\\\\m_{products}=21.5g

Which is not the same to the reactants (53 g) because there is an excess of Li₃P.

Best Regards!

A certain element exists as two different isotopes. 65.0% of its atoms have a mass of 24 amu and 35.0% of its atoms have a mass
Sauron [17]

Answer:

24.7 amu

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element can have different number of neutrons but they have same number of protons.

In order to calculate the average atomic mass with the given information do the following operations:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

I like to make a table, to organize all data and I believe is easier to understand.

65/100 = 0.65

35/100 = 0.35

% fraction

65.0 0.65

35.0 0.35

total100.0 1

Now multiply each mass with their corresponding fraction

24 (0.65) = 15.6

26 (0.35) = 9.1

%    fraction uma uma

65.0 0.65 24 15.6

35.0 0.35 26 9.1

total100.0    1          24.7

Finally you add the resulting mass and the units will be in uma.

15.6+9.1 = 24.7

Therefore the average atomic mass of this element will be 24.7 uma.
