Amino acids has two functional groups, amino-group (usually looks like NH2-  and carboxyl group -COOH)
Amino-group has basic properties , and carboxyl group - is acidic group.
When amino group of one amino acid reacts with carboxyl group of another one,
the peptide bond is formed. Amino acids can connect to each other and form long chains. (peptides and proteins)

Amino refers to the -NH2 group of atoms. Generally, organic acids have the carboxylic acid group -COOH. Thus, amino acids are compounds that have both the basic -NH2 & acidic -COOH groups.

By weight atmospheric air is approximately 23.15% oxygen and 76.85% nitrogen. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air
inna [77]

Answer:

Partial pressure of oxygen = 23.38 kpa (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of oxygen = 23.15%

Amount of nitrogen = 76.85%

Pressure (missing) = 101 kpa

Find:

Partial pressure of oxygen

Computation:

Partial pressure of oxygen = [Amount of oxygen x Pressure]/100

Partial pressure of oxygen = [23.15% x 101]/100

Partial pressure of oxygen = 23.38 kpa (Approx)

OverLord2011 [107]

Question: The question is incomplete. Below is the complete question and the answer;

While ethanol (CH3CH2OH is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene CH2CH2) with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 50.0 L tank at 22. °C with 24. mol of ethylene gas and 24. mol of water vapor. He then raises the temperature considerably, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium determines that it contains 15.4 mol of ethylene gas and 15.4 mol of water vapor The engineer then adds another 12. mol of water, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

Number of moles of ethanol = 11 mol

Explanation:

A rectangular block of copper has a mass of 143.584 g and measures 5.05 cm by 2.55 cm by 1.25 cm. Find the density of the copper
Luba_88 [7]
Density=mass/volume
Volume= 5.05 x 2.55 x 1.25 = 16.096875 cm^3

Density= 143.584/16.096875 
                                               = 8.919992235 g/cm^3

Select all of the statements that are true about a buffer solution. Select one or more: a. A buffer solution reacts with basic s
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

a. A buffer solution reacts with basic solutions.

c. A buffer solution reacts with acidic solutions.

e. A buffer solution resists small changes in pH

Explanation:

1. Buffer questions

a, c, and e are TRUE. A buffer resists a change in the pH when small amounts of a strong acid or base are added to it.

b is wrong. A buffer can have a pH of 7, but it can also have many other pH values.

d is wrong. Most buffers are colourless, and they resist a change in pH.

2. Titration curves

The solution is the best buffer at the mid-point of the titration curve.

In the figure below, the equivalence point is at 13 mL, so the mid-point is at 6.5 mL.  

The solution is buffered at pH 3.2.

However, the solution is a buffer at any point in the range pH = 3.2 ± 1.

That would be in the range of 1 mL to 12 mL.

The buffering ability becomes worse the further you are from the mid-point of the titration.
