Explanation:
Copper (II) sulfate is usually present as a hydrous state, which is of the form CuSO4 * nH2O, where n is a whole number.
Mass of sample (CuSO4 * nH2O)
= 152.00g - 128.10g = 23.90g.
Mass of water loss during heating
= 152.00g - 147.60g = 4.40g.
Molar mass of H2O = 18g/mol
Moles of H2O in sample
= 4.40g / (18g/mol) = 0.244mol.
Mass of anhydrous sample (CuSO4)
= 23.90g - 4.40g = 19.50g
Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.61g/mol
Moles of CuSO4 in sample
= 19.50g / (159.61g/mol) = 0.122mol.
Since mole ratio of CuSO4 to H2O
= 0.122mol : 0.244mol = 1:2, n = 2.
Hence we have CuSO4 * 2H2O.
Answer:
Collagen is a "fibrous proteins" present in the extracellular matrix.
Explanation:
Protein are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids and is made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur and is found in many foods. Proteins are organic molecules found in living organisms.
There are three types of proteins; fibrous, globular, and membrane.
Collagen which is a fibrous proteins, form muscle fiber, tendons, connective tissue and bone.
Collagen are naturally occurring proteins that consist of single molecules made up of amino-acids, which are in turn built of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. It is mostly found in fibrous tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin.
The synthesis of collagen occurs in two stages: intracellular and extracellular.
Collagen is an abundant connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons, bones, and ligaments. Collagen is a contributing factor to variation in meat tenderness and texture.
