Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO

Explanation:

The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:

Element                            Carbon           Hydrogen          Nitrogen         Oxygen

1. % Composition              40.66              8.53                 23.72                27.09

2. Mole ratio =

%mass/ atomic mass       40.66/12         8.53/1          23.72/14            27.09/16

                                       =  3.3883            8.53              1,6943             1.6931

3. Divide by smallest

value (0.6931)          3.3883/1.6931    8.53/1.6931    1.6943/1.6931   1.6931/1.6931

                               =      2.001                  5.038           1.0007                      1

4. Whole number ratio        2                       5                   1                               1

The empirical formula = C2H5NO

The R group or side chain of the amino acid leucine is non-polar. The R group of serine is polar. Where would you expect to find
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Serine will be on the exterior of the globular protein while leucine on the interior of the globular proteins

Explanation:

The nature or solubility of the side cham determines the poition of amino acid on the globular protein and it is either hydrophilic or hydrophobic.

Serine is an hydrophilic amino acid and so it is position on the surface of the globular protein (Exterior)

While Leucine side chain is hydrophobic in nature is positioned on the interior of the globular protein.

Which of the following processes would you predict to have an increase in entropy?
arlik [135]

Among the choices given, the best answer is the third option. Melting ice shows an increase in entropy. Entropy is the degree of disorderliness in a system. Among the phases, solid has the most ordered structure which means it has the least entropy. The ice melting shows a phase change from solid to liquid. Liquid molecules are more disorganized than the solid thus there is an increase in entropy.

Which of the following animals are an example of coevolution? *
pychu [463]

Acacia ant and acacias animals are an example of coevolution

Coevolution is the reciprocal evolutionary change in a set of interacting population over time resulting from the interaction between those population and an example of coevolution that is not characteristics of an arm race but one which provides a mutual benefit to both a plant species and insect is that of the acacia ant and acacia plant and many cases of coevolution can be found between plants and insects

What is the pH of 0.000134 M solution of HCI?
mafiozo [28]

Answer: The pH will be 3.87

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^{-}

According to stoichiometry,

1 mole of HCl gives 1 mole of H^+

Thus 0.000134 moles of HCl gives =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.000134=0.0001342 moles of H^+

Putting in the values:

pH=-\log[0.000134]

pH=3.87

Thus the pH will be 3.87
