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.

How many moles are in 85.0 grams of water
alexgriva [62]
To convert from grams to moles, you must divide the given mass by the molecular weight. If this is so, then:

Water ≈ 18.02 grams/mol.

85.0 g/ 18.02 g/mol ≈ 4.72 moles

How many molecules of ethane ( C2H6) are present in 0.197g of C2H6?
Brut [27]

Answer:

3.945 x 10²¹ molecules

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles using the relation:
  • n = mass/molar mass = (0.197 g)/(30.07 g/mol) = 6.55 x 10⁻³ mol.
  • It is known that every 1.0 mol of a molecule contains Avogadro's number of molecules (NA = 6.022 x 10²³).
  • <em>∴ 0.197 g of C₂H₆ will contain</em> = (6.55 x 10⁻³ mol)(6.022 x 10²³) = <em>3.945 x 10²¹ molecules.</em>

Pleaaaaase helppppppppppppp ASAP
laiz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) The forward reaction is exothermic, hence when temperature is increased the equilibrium shift towards the reactants side to get rid of the excess energy. This will mean that more reactants are produced decreasing yield

b) There are a fewer number of moles of gas on the right side compared to the left side (Just count the coefficients before each compound) so a higher pressure will mean that the equilibrium will shift towards the products side in order to decrease the pressure. This will mean that more products are formed increasing yield

c) When something is powdered it's surface area to volume ratio increases. A higher surface area means that the particles around it have more area to work on so the frequency of collisions will increase increasing the rate of reaction. This is why iron is powdered.
