The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

Amino acids are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH2, and carboxyl group, -COOH.

Alpha amino acids , RCH(NH2)COOH, are the building blocks from which proteins are constructed.

The NH group of one amino acid and the COOH group of the other amino acid are joined together and a peptide bond -CONH- is formed between the two amino acids and the product is called a dipeptide.

1.00 L of a gas at STP is compressed to 473mL. What is the new pressure of gas?

Hello!

1.00 L of a gas at STP is compressed to 473 mL. What is the new pressure of gas?

We have the following data:

Vo (initial volume) = 1.00 L

V (final volume) = 473 mL → 0.473 L

Po (initial pressure) = 1 atm (pressure exerted by the atmosphere - in STP)

P (final pressure) = ? (in atm)

We have an isothermal transformation, that is, its temperature remains constant, if the volume of the gas in the container decreases, so its pressure increases. Applying the data to the equation Boyle-Mariotte, we have:

$P_0*V_0 = P*V$
