How common is tryptophan in our food, what effect does it have on our body?

dedylja [7]3 years ago

I can't give you an exact number or anything for how common it is. However, I can say that it is QUITE common in our food.

There's many effects it has to the human body, therefore I'll only list a few.

~social behavior~irritability~mood swings~sleepiness
Also, if tryptophan is used as a drug it can be used to treat depression. Though, it can only help to a certain extent. It varies as well; depending on the person. (Don't quote me on that completely though.)

I hope this helped :)

How is the orbital configuration of neutral atoms related to the atoms chemical properties
timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical properties of atoms relies solely on the number of electrons they contain, more particularly, the valence or outermost electrons in the orbit round the nucleus of an atom.

A neutral atom is one that has not gained or lost electron or even shared electrons with any other atom.

On close examination of how electrons are distributed in the orbits of an atom, we can know if an atom will gain or lose electrons in a reaction. This is very important in determining the chemical properties of an atom.

6. If 0.500 mol NaN3 react, what mass in grams of nitrogen will result?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

21 g of N₂ are produced by the decomposition

Explanation:

The reaction is: 2 NaN3 → 2 Na + 3 N2

2 moles of sodium nitride decompose in order to produce 2 moles of Na and 3 moles of nitrogen gas.

According to stoichiometry, ratio is 2:3. Therefore we say,

2 moles of nitride can produce 3 moles of N₂

Then, 0.5 moles of NaN₃ will produce (0.5 . 3) / 2 = 0.75 moles of N₂

We convert the moles to mass, to find the answer

0.75 mol . 28 g / 1 mol = 21 g

A molecule is polar when:
natima [27]
The answer would be B. One region of the molecule has a small negative charge while another region has a small positive charge. However usually in polar bonds, charges or bond between the atoms are unequal (as opposed to having small equal charges).

An elastic cord can be stretched to its elastic limit by a load of 2N.If a 35cm length of the cord is extended 0.6cm by a force
Levart [38]

Explanation:

from \: hookes \: law \\ F = k.e \\ but \: e = 0.6 \: cm \\ 2 = k \times 0.6 \\ k = 3.33 \\ when \:F \: is \: 2.5 \\ 2.5 = 3.33 \times e {}^{.}   \\  {e}^{. }  = 0.75 \: cm \\ new \: length = 35 -  {e}^{.}  \\  = 35 - 0.75 \\  = 34.25 \: cm

A cylinder of compressed gas has a volume of 350 ml and a pressure of 931 torr. What volume in Liters would the gas occupy if al
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

0.384\ \text{L}

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial pressure = 931 torr = 931\times \dfrac{101.325}{760}=124.12\ \text{kPa}

P_2 = Final pressure = 113 kPa

V_1 = Initial volume = 350 mL

V_2 = Final volume

From the Boyle's law we have

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{124.12\times 350}{113}\\\Rightarrow V_2=384.44\ \text{mL}=0.384\ \text{L}

The volume the gas would occupy is 0.384\ \text{L}.
