Describe the R group found within an amino acid

Chemistry
1 answer:
madreJ [45]3 years ago
5 0

Hello!

An amino acid has five basic parts. An amino group, a carboxyl group, a central carbon atom, a hydrogen, and a R group.

The r group is the side chain specific to each amino acid. The r group varies between each kind of amino acid, while everything else stays the same. Therefore, the r group decides the identity of the amino acid.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need a more specific explanation.

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when excess hydroiodic acid and nickel(II) sulfide are combined.
tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced "molecular" equation:

2HI(aq) + NIS (s) → NiI₂(aq) + H₂S(g)

Step 2: H₂S is written in molecular form. Consult the solubility and net ionic equation rules on the information page to determine which of the other substances will dissociate:

2HI(aq) + NIS (s) → NiI₂(aq) + H₂S(g)

yes no yes

Step 3: Dissociate all soluble salts, strong acids, and strong bases (except calcium hydroxide). Leave together all "not soluble" salts and weak acids or bases:

{2H₃O}^{ + }  (aq) +  {2I}^{ - }  (aq) + NiS(s)→  { Ni}^{2 + }(aq) +  {2I}^{ - }(aq) + H₂S(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Step 4: Cross out "spectator ions" that appear on both sides of the reaction (these ions do not participate in the chemistry) and rewrite the "net" reaction using the smallest possible coefficients:

{2H₃O}^{ + } (aq) + NiS(s) →   { Ni}^{2 + } (aq) + H₂S(g) + 2H₂O(l)

19 grams of sodium and 34 grams of chlorine are measured out and put into separate glass vials that weigh 10 grams each. Then so
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

63.02 g.

Explanation:

  • Na reacts with Cl₂ according to the balanced equation:

<em>2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl,</em>

It is clear that 2 mole of Na react with 1 mole of Cl₂ to  produce 2 moles of NaCl.

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of Na and Cl₂:

no. of moles of Na = (mass/atomic mass) = (19.0 g/22.9897 g/mol) = 0.826 g.

no. of moles of Cl₂ = (mass/atomic mass) = (34.0 g/70.906 g/mol) = 0.48 g.

  • From the stichiometry, Na reacts with Cl₂ with a molar ratio (2:1).

<em>So, 0.826 mol of Na "the limiting reactant" reacts completely with 0.413 mol of Cl₂ "left over reactant".</em>

The no. of moles of Cl₂ remained after the reaction = 0.48 mol - 0.413 mol = 0.067 mol.

∴ The mass of Cl₂ remained after the reaction = (no. of moles of Cl₂ remained after the reaction)(molar mass of Cl₂) = (0.067 mol)(70.906 g/mol) = 4.75 g.

  • To get the no. of grams of produced NaCl:

<u><em>using cross multiplication:</em></u>

2 mol of Na produce  → 2 mol of NaCl, from the stichiometry.

∴ 0.826 mol of Na produce  → 0.826 mol of NaCl.

∴ The mass of NaCl produced after the reaction = (no. of moles of NaCl)(molar mass of NaCl) = (0.826 mol)(58.44 g/mol) = 48.27 g.

∴ The total weight of the glass vial containing the final product = the weight of the glass vial + the weight of the remaining Cl₂ + the weight of the produced NaCl = 10.0 g + 4.75 g + 48.27 g = 63.02 g.
