Hi there!
Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins.
In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.
Answer:
- Volume = <u>2.0 liter</u> of 1.5 M solution of KOH
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
a) Solution: KOH
b) M = 1.5 M
c) n = 3.0 mol
d) V = ?
<u>2) Formula:</u>
Molarity is a unit of concentration, defined as number of moles of solute per liter of solution:
<u>3) Calculations:</u>
- Solve for n: M = n / V ⇒ V = n / M
- Substitute values: V = 3.0 mol / 1.5 M = 2.0 liter
You must use 2 significant figures in your answer: <u>2.0 liter.</u>
This problem is requiring the empirical formula for CaCO₃, which is its molecular formula, and turns out to be equal, this is A. CaCO3 according to the following:
<h3>Empirical formulas:</h3><h3 />
In chemistry, molecular formulas show both the actual type and number of atoms in a chemical compound, based on the elements across the periodic table and the subscripts standing for the number of atoms in the compound.
However, the empirical formula is a reduced expression of the molecular one, which shows the minimum number of atoms in a compound after simplifying to the smallest whole numbers.
In such a way, since the given compound is CaCO₃ and both Ca and C have a one as their subscript, it is not possible to simplify any further and therefore the empirical formula equals the molecular one this time, making the answer to be A. CaCO3.
