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.

A metal is found that has a mass of 27g and will displace 6mL of water. Calculate its density and identify the metal.

melisa1 [442]

The density of metal = 4.5 g/ml, and the metal = Titanium

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

Density formula:

$\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}$

ρ = density

m = mass

v = volume

mass of metal=27 g

volume = 6 ml

The density :

$\tt \rho=\dfrac{27}{6}\\\\\rho=4.5~g/ml$

The metal with a density of 4.5 g/ml is Titanium

5.00 g of an unknown compound was dissolved in 250.0 mL of water. The unknown compound was found to be a non-electrolyte and the

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

This unknown compound has a molar mass of 33.74g/mole

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

The formula for the osmotic pressure is:

π = MRT = 14.5 atm

⇒ with M = Concentration of the solution

⇒ with R = gas constant = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

⇒ with T = absolute temperature (in Kelvin) = 298K

Step 2: Calculate concentration

M = π/ RT

M = 14.5 / (0.08206 * 298)

M = 0.593 M this is 0.593 moles per L

Step 3: Calculate number of moles

Since the volume is only 0.250 L, the amount of moles is:

0.593 * 0.250 L = 0.1482 moles

Step 4: Calculate molar mass

The molar mass is : mass / moles

Molar mass of this unknown compund = 5g / 0.1482 moles = 33.74 g/mole

This unknown compound has a molar mass of 33.74g/ mole

How does a scientist explain something when a controlled experiment cannot be carried out

alina1380 [7]

Usually the controlled experiment is the one that is not tested so they look at the experimental experiment to find the differences. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question.

Balance the following reaction. A coefficient of \"1\" is understood.

USPshnik [31]

To balance a reaction, we must say to it that the number of elements in one side is equal to the other side. For a combustion reaction such as the one given, we first need to balance the number of carbon atoms, then the hydrogen atoms and lastly the oxygen atoms.

C4H10 + 13/2O2 → 4CO2 + 5H2O.
