Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The <u>tertiary structure </u>of proteins is related to the interactions between the amino acids of the <u>primary structure</u>. Thus, these interactions give it a specific three-dimensional configuration which is very sensitive to <u>functionality</u>.

For example, <u>allosteric inhibitions</u> are related to this concept. When the <u>inhibitor</u> changes the tertiary structure of the protein it loses all <u>activity</u> and for the catalysis of the reaction.

Thus, the primary structure (which is related to the specific <u>sequence of amino acids</u>) will determine the tertiary structure since the chain folds will be a consequence of<u> intra-amino acid interactions</u>.

<em>Answer</em>

A. tertiary; primary structure

<em>Explanation.</em>

The tridimentional geometry of a protein is known as tertiary structure. The localization of turns inside the protein, determined by the presence of aminoacids such as Pro, Thr, Ser and Gly are examples of the influence of the primary structure in the tertiary structure of a protein. Also, the interactions between aminoacids inside the polipeptidic chain allow the protein have a specific tertiary structure.

Would the ph at the equivalence point be acidic, basic, or neutral for each given titration?.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

At the equivalence point, equal amounts of H+ and OH– ions will combine to form H2O, resulting in a pH of 7.0 (neutral). The pH at the equivalence point for this titration will always be 7.0, note that this is true only for titrations of strong acid with strong base.

Calcium hydroxide is a strong base but is not very soluble ( Ksp = 5.02 X 10-6 ). What is the pH of a saturated solution of Ca(O
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer : The pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33

Explanation : Given,

K_{sp} = 5.02\times 10^{-6}

First we have to calculate the solubility of OH^- ion.

The balanced equilibrium reaction will be:

Ca(OH)_2\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+2OH^-

Let the solubility will be, 's'.

The concentration of Ca^{2+} ion = s

The concentration of OH^- ion = 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^-]^2

Let the solubility will be, 's'

K_{sp}=(s)\times (2s)^2

K_{sp}=(4s)^3

Now put the value of K_[sp} in this expression, we get the solubility.

5.02\times 10^{-6}=(4s)^3

s=1.079\times 10^{-2}M

The concentration of Ca^{2+} ion = s = 1.079\times 10^{-2}M

The concentration of OH^- ion = 2s = 2\times (1.079\times 10^{-2}M)=2.158\times 10^{-2}M

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (2.158\times 10^{-2})

pOH=1.67

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-1.67=12.33

Therefore, the pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33

What mass of sulfur has to burn to produce 4.5L SO2 at 300°C and 101 kPa in the following reaction?s(s)+O2(g) SO,(g)
Alex_Xolod [135]
<span>Answer: option B. 3.07 g

Explanation:

1) given reaction:

S(s) + O₂ (g) → SO(g)

2) Balanced chemical equation:

</span><span>2S(s) + O₂ (g) → 2SO(g)

3) Theoretical mole ratios:

2 mol S : 1 mol O₂ : 2 mol SO

3) number of moles of 4.5 liter SO₂ at</span><span> 300°C and 101 kPa

use the ideal gas equation:

pV = nRT

with V = 4.5 liter
p = 101 kPa
T = 300 + 273.15 K = 573.15 K
R = 8.314 liter×kPa / (mol×K)

=> n = pV / (RT) =

n =  [101 kPa × 4.5 liter] / [8.314 (liter×kPa) / (mol×K)  × 573.15 K ]

n = 0.0954 mol SO

4) proportion with the theoretical ratio S / SO

 2 mol S                   x
-------------- = ----------------------
 2 mol SO      0.0954 mol SO

=> x = 0.0954 mol S.

5) Convert mol of S to grams by using atomic mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.0954 mol × 32.065 g/mol = 3.059 g of S

6) Therefore the answer is the option B. 3.07 g
