Which of these characteristics differentiate electrons from protons and neutrons

1 answer:

8 0

Electrons are not in a fixed position — they float around the outside of the nucleus in a cloud. In contrast, the protons and neutrons are found inside the nucleus. Electrons are also much smaller than both protons and neutrons.

An "empty" container is not really empty if it contains air. How may moles of nitrogen are in an "empty" two-liter cola bottle a

Lisa [10]

Answer:

1. 0.0637 moles of nitrogen.

2. The partial pressure of oxygen is 0.21 atm.

Explanation:

1. If we assume ideal behaviour, we can use the Law of ideal gases to find the moles of nitrogen, considering that air composition is mainly nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%) and argon (1%):

$V_{N_2}=V_{T}\times 0.78=2L \times 0.78 =1.56 L\\PV=nRT\\n_{N_2}=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1 atm\times 1.56 L}{0.0821\frac{atmL}{molK}\times 298 K}\\n_{N_2}= 0.0637 mol$

2. Now, in order to find he partial pressure of oxygen we need to find the total moles of air, and then the moles of oxygen. Then, we use these results to determine the molar fraction of oxygen, to multiply it with total pressure and get the partial pressure of oxygen as follows:

$n_{total}=\frac{1 atm \times 2L}{0.0821 \frac{atmL}{molK}298K}=0.0817 mol$

$V_{O_2}=2L \times 0.21 = 0.42 L\\n_{O_2}=\frac {1atm \times 0.42 L}{0.0821 \frac{atm L}{mol K}298 K}=0.0172 mol\\X_{O_2}=\frac{n_{O_2}}{n_{total}}=\frac{0.0172 mol}{0.0817 mol}= 0.21$

$P_{O_2}=X_{O_2} \times P = 1 atm \times 0.21 = 0.21 atm$

As you see, the molar fraction and volume fraction are the same because of the assumption of ideal behaviour.

According to the text, which amino acid(s) contains a side chain..

solniwko [45]

Answer:

(b) that is hydrophobic

Explanation:

e.g, alanine

Cause, Alanine possess hydrophobic side chain and the most appropriate answer is (d) part......

Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid, because the side-chain connected to the α-carbon atom is a methyl group (-CH3), alanine is the simplest α-amino acid after glycine. The methyl side-chain of alanine is non-reactive and is therefore hardly ever directly involved in protein function..

Hope it will help you☺☺☺☺☺
