Answer:

I > III > II

Explanation:

I) A disulfide bond between two cystines is created when a sulfur atom from one cystine forms a strong, single covalent bond with a sulfur atom from a second cystine. When a disulfide bond is created, each cystine loses one hydrogen atom. The atom count is 11 for a cystine in mid-chain, but changes to 10 if the cystine joins with another in a disulfide bond. This lead to a much more stable intermolecular interaction.

III) Hydrogen Bonding in water

These hydrogen bonds are at best an interaction, inducing slight positive and negative charges in the Hydrogen and Oxygen/Nitrogen atoms.

The Hydrophilic amino acids have O & N atoms, which form hydrogen bonds with water. These atoms have an uneven distribution of electrons, creating a polar molecule that can interact and form hydrogen bonds with water.

The hydrogen bonds aren't as strong as the covalent bonds in disulfides.

II) Hydrophobic interactions between two leucines

A hydrophobic interaction is formed between two nonpolar molecules.

It describes the preference of nonpolar molecular surfaces to interact with other nonpolar molecular surfaces, thereby displacing water molecules from the interacting surfaces.

How many magnesium atoms are in the product
strojnjashka [21]

Answer: Im not sure if you are doing this in your class.

Explanation:

So... for the element of MAGNESIUM, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 12 electrons in a magnesium atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one, eight in shell two, and two more in shell three

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HBr à MgBr2 + 2 H2O
AnnyKZ [126]

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the reaction is given as;

Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HBr (aq) → MgBr2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

1. How many grams of MgBr2 will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 1 mol of  MgBr2

Converting to masses using;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Molar mass of HBr = 80.91 g/mol

Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

This means;

(2 * 80.91 = 161.82g) of HBr produces (1 * 184.113 = 184.113g) MgBr2

18.3g would produce x

161.82 = 184.113

18.3 = x

x = (184.113 * 18.3 ) / 161.82 = 20.8 g

2. How many moles of H2O will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

Converting the mass to mol;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 18.3 / 80.91 = 0.226 mol

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 2 mol of H2O

0.226 mol would produce x

2 =2

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 2 / 2 = 0.226 mol

3. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to completely react with 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of Mg(OH)2

18.3g of HBr =  0.226 mol

2 = 1

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 1 /2

x = 0.113 mol
