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.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Vaporization and Condensation When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules move randomly about, they will occasionally collide with the surface of the condensed phase, and in some cases, these collisions will result in the molecules re-entering the condensed phase.

Calculate the solubilities of the following compounds in a 0.02 M solution of barium nitrate using molar concentrations, first i

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a. 1.7 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹; b. 5.5 × 10⁻⁹ mol·L⁻¹

c. 2.3 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹; 5.5 × 10⁻⁸ mol·L⁻¹

Explanation:

a. Silver iodate

Let s = the molar solubility.

AgIO₃(s) ⇌ Ag⁺(aq) + IO₃⁻(aq); Ksp = 3.0 × 10⁻⁸

E/mol·L⁻¹: s s

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ag$^{+}$][IO$_{3}$$^{-}$]} = s\times s = s^{2} = 3.0\times 10^{-8}\\s = \sqrt{3.0\times 10^{-8}} \text{ mol/L} = 1.7 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L}$

b. Barium sulfate

BaSO₄(s) ⇌ Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq); Ksp = 1.1 × 10⁻¹⁰

I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.02 0

C/mol·L⁻¹: +s +s

E/mol·L⁻¹: 0.02 + s s

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ba$^{2+}$][SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$]} = (0.02 + s) \times s \approx 0.02s = 1.1\times 10^{-10}\\s = \dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{0.02} \text{ mol/L} = 5.5 \times 10^{-9} \text{ mol/L}$

c. Using ionic strength and activities

(i) Calculate the ionic strength of 0.02 mol·L⁻¹ Ba(NO₃)₂

The formula for ionic strength is

$\mu = \dfrac{1}{2} \sum_{i} {c_{i}z_{i}^{2}}\\\\\mu = \dfrac{1}{2} (\text{[Ba$^{2+}$]}\cdot (2+)^{2} + \text{[NO$_{3}$$^{-}$]}\times(-1)^{2}) = \dfrac{1}{2} (\text{0.02}\times 4 + \text{0.04}\times1)= \dfrac{1}{2} (0.08 + 0.04)\\\\= \dfrac{1}{2} \times0.12 = 0.06$

(ii) Silver iodate

a. Calculate the activity coefficients of the ions

$\log \gamma = -0.51z^{2}\sqrt{I} = -0.051(1)^{2}\sqrt{0.06} = -0.51\times 0.24 = -0.12\\\gamma = 10^{-0.12} = 0.75$

b. Calculate the solubility

AgIO₃(s) ⇌ Ag⁺(aq) + IO₃⁻(aq)

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ag$^{+}$]$\gamma_{Ag^{+}}$[IO$_{3}$$^{-}$]$\gamma_{IO_{3}^{-}}$} = s\times0.75\times s \times 0.75 =0.56s^{2}= 3.0 \times 10^{-8}\\s^{2} = \dfrac{3.0 \times 10^{-8}}{0.56} = 5.3 \times 10^{-8}\\\\s =2.3 \times 10^{-4}\text{ mol/L}$

(iii) Barium sulfate

a. Calculate the activity coefficients of the ions

$\log \gamma = -0.51z^{2}\sqrt{I} = -0.051(2)^{2}\sqrt{0.06} = -0.51\times16\times 0.24 = -0.50\\\gamma = 10^{-0.50} = 0.32$

b. Calculate the solubility

BaSO₄(s) ⇌ Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ba$^{2+}$]$\gamma_{ Ba^{2+}}$[SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$]$\gamma_{ SO_{4}^{2-}}$} = (0.02 + s) \times 0.32\times s\times 0.32 \approx 0.02\times0.10s\\2.0\times 10^{-3}s = 1.1 \times 10^{-10}\\s = \dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{2.0 \times 10^{-3}} \text{ mol/L} = 5.5 \times 10^{-8} \text{ mol/L}$
