Answer:

- Alanine =  5.61 mmoles

- Leucine = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 3.40 mmoles

Explanation:

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

Milimoles = Mol . 1000

500 mg / 1000 = 0.5 g

- Alanine = 0.5 g / 89 g/m → 5.61x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 5.61mmoles

- Leucine = 0.5 g / 131 g/m → 3.81 x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 0.5 g / 204 g/m →  2.45x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 0.5 g / 121 g/m → 4.13x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 0.5 g 147 g/m → 3.40x10⁻³ moles . 1000 =  3.4 mmoles

A piece of unknown metal with mass 30 g is heated to 110.0 °C and dropped into 100.0 g of water at 20.0 °C. The final temperatur
Ymorist [56]

<u>Answer:</u> The specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by metal will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]       ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of metal = 30 g

m_2 = mass of water = 100 g

T_{final} = final temperature = 25°C

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 110°C

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.0°C

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

30\times c_1\times (25-110)=-[100\times 4.186\times (25-20)]

c_1=0.821J/g^oC

Hence, the specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

A horse gallops along a racecourse at a speed of 40 km/h. It takes the horse 3 minutes to run the length of the track.
Natali [406]

To convert minutes to hours we divide the minutes by 60. So if we divide 3 by 60 we get 0.05 hours.

<h3>How to convert minutes into hour?</h3>

We know that in hour, there are 60 minutes so if we go from minutes to hours then we have to divide the number by 60 and when we go from hours to minutes we multiply with the same 60 number.

So we can conclude that to convert minutes to hours we divide the minutes by 60. So if we divide 3 by 60 we get 0.05 hours.

What pressure is required to reduce 40 ml of a gas at standard conditions to 20 ml at a temperature of 21?c? answer in units of
ElenaW [278]
If you need half the volume, you need double the pressure (V * p). Normal air pressure in the atmosphere is 101300 Pa so that means you need double that, thus 202600 Pa (or 2,026 bars)

What is a chemical treatment process used to remove dissolved ionic species from contaminated aqueous streams?
NeTakaya

Answer:

Ion exchange.

Explanation:

One of the ways in which water can be treated is through the process known as ION EXCHANGE. Using this for treating water has to do basically with the transfer or say the exchange of ions.

Ion exchanges is done by exchanging ions which are considered as 'unfit' or contaminants by the ones that are "fit".

Ions from what is known as zeolite or resin is been exchanged with the ions in the water. Cations are exchanged with cations and anions are exchanged with anions.

NB: this method is a good method or removing contaminants that are ions but not contaminants that are not ions.
