<h2><u>Full Question:</u></h2>

In hemoglobin, a single amino acid change at position 6 from Glu to Val has major consequences on hemoglobin structure that makes the molecule defective leading to sickle cell anemia. Predict whether the following hypothetical change would or would not have a major effect at position 6. Briefly explain (1-2 sentences). Glu to Leu Hint: Look at the structures of the R groups and consider their chemical properties

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The structure of the haemoglobin, hence the RBC won't be same as normal.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Both the leucine and glutamic acid are alpha amino acids which have an alpha carboxylic acid group and an alpha amino group. The variable in case of glutamic acid is propyl acid while the variable in case of leucine is isobutyl.

The glutamic acid is the normal amino acid of the 6th position of Beta chain of hemoglobin. Its an acid group, so can form bonds with another base inside the haemoglobin, or can form other hydrogen bonds. But the isobutyl group is an alkyl group. So it doesn't have that much effect in the recovering the structure, and sickle cell anemia prevails.

Five gases combined in a gas cylinder have the following partial pressures: 3.00 atm (N2), 1.80 atm (O2), 0.29 atm (Ar), 0.18 at
levacccp [35]
In order to solve the total pressure that is exerted by the gases, we need to use the Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. These are the calculations that you need to find out the total amount of pressure exerted to the gases:

3.00atm (N2) + 1.80atm (O2) + 0.29atm (Ar) + 0.18atm (He) + 0.10atm (H),
add up all of that, and the answer would turn out to be: 5.37atm.

Determine the number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound listed. AlF3
scoray [572]
Answer is: the number of ions produced in the dissociation of aluminium fluoride is 4.
<span>
Chemical dissociation of aluminium fluoride in water:
AlF</span>₃(aq) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3F⁻(aq).<span>
There are four ions, one aluminium cation and three fluoride anions.
Aluminium has oxidation +3, because it lost three electrons, to have electron configuration as noble gas neon and fluorine has oxidation -1, because it gain one electron to </span>have electron configuration as noble gas neon.

If an element has 10 protons and 11 neutrons and 10 electrons, which expression correctly identifies the element? Atomic numbers
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, it should be noted that atomic number (number of protons) determines element. And the element with the atomic number 10 (10 protons) is Neon. Hence, Neon-10 (₁₀Ne) is the answer.

Note that sodium has an atomic number of 11. Also, number of protons is usually equal to the number of electrons in neutral atoms, this is because the total number of positive particles (protons) must be equal to the total number of negative particles (electrons) to give a neutral atom.
