What gives an amino acid its unique identity?What gives an amino acid its unique identity?

Chemistry

Salsk061 [2.6K]3 years ago

The unique identity of amino acid is that each amino acid is bonded to each central atom known as R-group.

Explanation:

Amino acids are nothing but a basic structure which has a central atom called the "alpha carbon atom". This \alpha carbon atom is bonded to an "amino group" (NH_{2}), a "carboxyl group" (COOH) or a "hydrogen atom".

There are totally "20 types" of amino acids having a central atom bonded from the R-group. For example: When the R-group is hydrogen, then the amino acid is named glycine. Similarly, if it is attached to methyl group, then the amino acid is alanine. This makes the amino acids unique.

When a magnesium ribbon is heated in air the product former is heavier.on the other hand when potassium manganate(VII) is heated
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: On heating, Magnesium forms its oxide; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes

Explanation:

Magnesium Mg, on heating forms Magnesium oxide

2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO

Potassium permanganate KMnO4, on heating decomposes to potassium manganate K2MnO4, manganese dioxide MnO2, and Oxygen gas O2.

2KMnO4 --> K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2

The difference in observation is that, on heating, Magnesium forms its OXIDE as product; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes, giving OFF most of its constituents and reducing its weight.

Does sodium (Na) and argon (Ar) on the periodic table have similar properties? Explain in terms of location on the periodic tabl
iVinArrow [24]

Sodium (Na) and Argon (Ar) on the periodic table does not have similar properties.

PERIODIC TABLE:

  • Periodic table is the organized table that showcases the position of elements. The periodic table is organized into groups and periods.

  • Groups of the periodic table is in a vertical format labeled 1 - 7 while the period is in a horizontal format labeled 1 - 7.

  • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and hence, possess similar chemical properties.

  • Sodium (Na) belongs to group 1 while argon is a noble gas, hence, they are not in the same group of the periodic table and cannot have same properties.

The solubility of NaCH3CO2 in water is ~1.23 g/mL. What would be the best method for preparing a supersaturated NaCH3CO2 solutio
Len [333]

Answer:

b) add 130 g of NaCH₃CO₂ to 100 mL of H₂O at 80 °C while stirring until all the solid dissolves, then let the solution cool to room temperature.

Explanation:

The solubility of NaCH₃CO₂ in water is ~1.23 g/mL. This means that at room temperature, we can dissolve 1.23 g of solute in 1 mL of water (solvent).

<em>What would be the best method for preparing a supersaturated NaCH₃CO₂ solution?</em>

<em>a) add 130 g of NaCH₃CO₂ to 100 mL of H₂O at room temperature while stirring until all the solid dissolves.</em> NO. At room temperature, in 100 mL of H₂O can only be dissolved 123 g of solute. If we add 130 g of solute, 123 g will dissolve and the rest (7 g) will precipitate. The resulting solution will be saturated.

<em>b) add 130 g of NaCH₃CO₂ to 100 mL of H₂O at 80 °C while stirring until all the solid dissolves, then let the solution cool to room temperature. </em>YES. The solubility of NaCH₃CO₂ at 80 °C is ~1.50g/mL. If we add 130 g of solute at 80 °C and let it slowly cool (and without any perturbation), the resulting solution at room temperature will be supersaturated.

<em>c) add 1.23 g of NaCH₃CO₂ to 200 mL of H₂O at 80 °C while stirring until all the solid dissolves, then let the solution cool to room temperature.</em> NO. If we add 1.23 g of solute to 200 mL of water, the resulting solution will have a concentration of 1.23 g/200 mL = 0.00615 g/mL, which represents an unsaturated solution.
