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.

Use tabulated half-cell potentials to calculate ΔG∘rxn for each of the following reactions at 25 ∘C.
Ilya [14]

Answer:- \Delta G^0 for the reaction is -58 kJ/mol.

Solution:- Oxidation half reaction taking place at the anode is--

3Sn(s)\rightarrow 3Sn^2^+(aq) + 6e^- E^0 = 0.14 V

Reduction half equation taking place at the cathode is---

2Fe^3^+(aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2Fe(s) E^0 = -0.04V

E^0 for the cell = E_(reduction) + E_(oxidation)

E^0 for the cell = -0.04V + 0.14V = 0.10V

Now we could easily calculate \Delta G^0 by using the below formula--

\Delta G^0 = -nFE^0

where n is the number of electrons transferred in the over all reaction. Looking at two half equations the value of n is 6.

F is Farady constant and it's value is 96500 C/mol.

Plugging in the values in the formula...

\Delta G^0 = -(6)(96500)(0.10)

\Delta G^0 = -57900 J

Since, 1000 J = 1 kJ

So, \Delta G^0 = -58 kJ/mol

Why are comets icy bodies?
krok68 [10]

Comets are icy bodies because they originate in areas beyond Neptune.

Option a

<u>Explanation:</u>

Comets are icy, “small solar system” bodies that, warms up and begins to release gases or dust when it passes close to the Sun. The nucleus of a comet is made up of an combination of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and ammonia while the surface of the nucleus is generally dry, dusty or rocky.

They are often called as dirty snowballs because of their physical appearance and due to the fact that these Short-period comets originate in the Kuiper belt that lies beyond the orbit of Neptune. Comets have an icy body because they originate from a disk-shaped band of icy objects known as the “Kuiper Belt” that lies just “beyond Neptune's orbit”, with gravitational interactions with the outer planets dragging these bodies inward.

What is the IUPAC name of a bromobenzene with carboxylic acid attached
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Bromobenzoic acid  

Explanation:

COOH has higher priority than Br, so the parent name is benzoic acid.

The COOH group is automatically on C1 of the ring, and the other aromatic carbons are numbered sequentially around the ring.

The name of the substituent is joined to that of the parent, and the locant is attached to that with a hyphen.

The generic IUPAC name is bromobenzoic acid.

There are three isomers of benzoic acid — 2-bromobenzoic acid, 3-bromobenzoic acid, and 4-bromobenzoic acid —  so you must always specify which one you mean.
