Answer:

Explanation:

Quaternary structure of proteins is composed of two or more polypeptide chains. Insulin has two; one alpha and one beta chain. The two chains are joined together by disulfide bonds at two points (at cysteines). Other examples of quaternary proteins structures are DNA polymerase and hemoglobin.

Where did the molecules of carbon dioxide come from while the tortilla chip was burning

CaHeK987 [17]

The answer can be explained when you burn something cleanly (with a very hot item) or not. With a candle lots of Carbon dioxide is producted but when using a bunson burner hardly any CO2 is produced.

Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. The forward reaction i

anygoal [31]

Answer:

A. for K>>1 you can say that the reaction is nearly irreversible so the forward direction is favored. (Products formation)

B. When the temperature rises the equilibrium is going to change but to know how is going to change you have to take into account the kind of reaction. For endothermic reactions (the reverse reaction is favored) and for exothermic reactions (the forward reaction is favored)

Explanation:

A. The equilibrium constant K is defined as

$K=\frac{Products}{reagents}$

In any case

aA +Bb equilibrium Cd +dD

where K is:

$K= \frac{[C]^{c}[D]^{d}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}$

[] is molar concentration.

If K>>> 1 it means that the molar concentration of products is a lot bigger that the molar concentration of reagents, so the forward reaction is favored.

B. The relation between K and temperature is given by the Van't Hoff equation

$ln(\frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}})=\frac{-delta H^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})$

Where: H is reaction enthalpy, R is the gas constant and T temperature.

Clearing the equation for $K_{2}$ we get:

$K_{2}=\frac{K_{1}}{e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}$

Here we can study two cases: when delta $H^{o}$ is positive (exothermic reactions) and when is negative (endothermic reactions)

For exothermic reactions when we increase the temperature the denominator in the equation would have a negative exponent so $K_{2}$ is greater that $K_{1}$ and the forward reaction is favored.

When we have an endothermic reaction we will have a positive exponent so $K_{2}$ will be less than $K_{1}$ the forward reactions is not favored.

${e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}$

Heptane (C7H16) and octane (C8H18) are constitutents of gasoline. At 80 degree celsius, the vapor pressure of heptane is 428mmHg

ss7ja [257]

Looking at this equation P= (pa*pb)/ (pa+(pb-pa)) ya where pa=vap press a and ya= vap composition a and P= total pressure,it relates vapor pressure mixture to vapor composition. This is derived using the combination of Dalton's and Raoult's laws.
