The activation energy for proline isomerization of a peptide depends on the identity of the preceding residue and obeys Arrheniu

s rate behavior. Experiments are conducted on the isomerization of an alanine- proline peptide. At 25°C (298 K) the observed rate constant is 0.05 sec–1 and the value of EA is calculated to be 60 kJ•mol–1. Similar measurements are performed on a phenylalanine-proline peptide at 25°C, with a measured rate constant of 0.005 sec–1. Assuming an identical preexponential factor as the alanine-proline peptide, what is the activation energy for this peptide (kJ/mol)?

Answer:

Activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation-     k=Ae^{\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}}    , where k is rate constant, A is pre-exponential factor, E_{a} is activation energy, R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

As A is identical for both peptide therefore-

                                   \frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=e^\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-E_{a}^{ala-pro}]}{RT}

Here \frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=\frac{0.05}{0.005} , T = 298 K , R = 8.314 J/(mol.K) and E_{a}^{ala-pro}=60kJ/mol

So, \frac{0.05}{0.005}=e^{\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-(60000J/mol)]}{8.314J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}\times 298K}}

   \Rightarrow E_{a}^{phe-pro}=65705J/mol=66kJ/mol (rounded off to two significant digit)

So, activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol

What causes the Brownian motion of particles in a colloid?
LekaFEV [45]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is a) collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules causes the Brownian motion of particles in a colloid.

Brownian motion is the irregular movement of the microscopic particles in a fluid which bombard into each other.

It basically is the result of the molecules of a dispersion medium colliding with the dispersed particles of the phase.

Three test tubes contain white crystalline organic solids A, B, and C, each of which melts at 149-150 degrees C. A 50-50 mixture
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The mixture of B and C will melt as 130 - 139 ºC.

Explanation:

If the melting point (130 - 139 ºC) of a mixture of A and B is lower than the pure substances that is 149 - 150 ºC that means that one of these susbtances is an impurity because reduces the melting point.

If the melting point of the mixture of A and C is the same as the pure substances, we can deduce that they are the same substances, also because the melting point when a substance is pure is just 1 or 2 ºC like in this case.

So in a Mixture of B and C is going to be like the first case of the mixture among A and B, because the B substance is the impurity.
