What do proteins act as?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tresset [83]4 years ago
8 0

Proteins are made from long chains of smaller molecules called amino acids. These long chains are folded into particular shapes. This is important in relation to how antibodies and enzymes work.

Enzymes are biological catalysts. There are optimum temperatures and pH values at which their activity is greatest. Enzymes are also proteins. If the shape of an enzyme changes, it may no longer work (it is said to have been 'denatured'). maybe right?

A ph less than 7 is an ___, with ____ numbers indicating stronger acids.
Inga [223]

Answer:

A pH less than 7 is an acid, with number 1 indicating stronger acids

Explanation:

The pH scale has a range of 1 to 14. The following has been concluded on the pH scale:

1. Between 1 and 6 indicates an acid solution.

2. 7 indicates a neutral solution

3. Between 8 and 14 indicates an alkaline or basic solution.

Now with these information, we can answer the above questions as follow:

A pH less than 7 is an acid, with number 1 indicating stronger acids

Use coulomb's law to calculate the ionization energy in kj/mol of an atom composed of a proton and an electron separated by 185.
Tems11 [23]
Coulomb's law mathematically is:
F = kQ₁Q₂/r²
we integrate this with respect to distance to obtain the expression for energy:
E = kQ₁Q₂/r; where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹; Q are the charges, r is the seperation
Charge on proton = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
E = (9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) / (185 x 10⁻¹²)
E = 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸ Joules per proton/electron pair
Number of pairs in one mole = 6.02 x 10²³
Energy = 6.02 x 10²³ x 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸
= 746.5 kJ

What is the density of an object if its mass is 10 g and a volume of 2 mL?
Lilit [14]

Hi there! Let's solve this problem shall we!

⠀Volume = 10g

      Mass = 2 mL

In this specific problem, they are asking us to find the <u><em>density </em></u>of the object. So,<u><em> using the information given to us</em></u> (volume and mass), let's solve the problem!

Now, if you remember, D = M ÷ V

So, let's fill in the blanks!

D = Our unknown value

M = 2mL

V = 10g

Here is the filled out formula:

D = M ÷ V

D = 2mL ÷ 10g

D = 5 g/mL

*Make sure you put the units for your final solution!*
