What determines the shape and function of a protein?

1 answer:

6 0

The function is determined by shape. The protein is determined by its primary structure which is the sequence of amino acids.
Amino acid sequence is determined by nucleotides in the gene (DNA)

What is some fun facts about the person who started Sand Storms? What can be the worst in a Sand Storms? If you were caught in o

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The clouds that carry the dust can be huge, and miles long. They can rise to be over 305m. They also have wind speeds of at least 40 kilometers.Sandstorms can happen really quickly.

Explanation:

Sandstorms carry with them large volumes of sand and dust. But more than sand, they also carry with them virus spores that interact with the atmosphere. Because of this, I can contact any disease from it.

Other immediate effects of sandstorms to me include the worsening of lung functions if I have asthma. Due to inhalation of large amounts of dust, dust pneumonia could be developed. Diseases such as silicosis could also develop from prolonged exposure to sand. If left untreated, it will eventually lead to asphyxiation and lung cancer. The eyes could also be affected by the particles. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or dry eyes, could develop which could lead to blindness. My exposure to sandstorms could have adverse effects on my circulatory system. So I could either die immediately or fall terrible sick it depend on my health issue.

For the reaction

azamat

Answer:

Mass = 5.56 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Cl₂ = 4.45 g

Mass of NaCl produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Cl₂ + 4NaOH → 3NaCl + NaClO₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of Cl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.45 g/ 71 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.063 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with NaCl.

Cl₂ : NaCl

2 : 3

0.063 : 3/2×0.063 =0.095 mol

Mass of NaCl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.095 mol × 58.5 g/mol

Mass = 5.56 g

According to the combined gas law, the pressure exerted by a gas is:

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

Charles' Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

$V\propto T$

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$

Combined gas law : It is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{PV}{T}=K$

or,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

From the above information we conclude that the pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature.

Hence, the correct option is, (d)

Methanol, ethanol, and n−propanol are three common alcohols. When 1.00 g of each of these alcohols is burned in air, heat is lib

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

For methanol: Heat of combustion = -22.6 kJ / 0.0312 moles = -724.3590 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

For ethanol: Heat of combustion = -29.7 kJ / 0.0217 moles = -1368.6636 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

For propanol: Heat of combustion = -33.4 kJ / 0.0166 moles = -2012.0482 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Methanol = 1.0 g

Mass of ethanol = 1.00 g

Mass of n-propanol = 1.00 g

For methanol:

2 CH₃OH + 3 O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + 4 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -22.6 kJ/g (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of methanol on combustion gives 22.6 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of methanol:

$moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}$

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

Thus moles of methanol = 1 g/ (32.04 g/mol) = 0.0312 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

Heat of combustion = -22.6 kJ / 0.0312 moles = -724.3590 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

For ethanol:

C₂H₅OH + 3 O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -29.7 kJ/g (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of ethanol on combustion gives 29.7 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of ethanol:

$moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}$

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Thus moles of ethanol = 1 g/ (46.07 g/mol) = 0.0217 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

Heat of combustion = -29.7 kJ / 0.0217 moles = -1368.6636 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

For propanol:

2 C₃H₇OH + 9 O₂ ----> 6 CO₂ + 8 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -33.4 kJ/g , (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of methanol on combustion gives 33.4 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of methanol:

$moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}$

Molar mass of methanol = 60.09 g/mol

Thus moles of methanol = 1 g/ (60.09 g/mol) = 0.0166 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

Heat of combustion = -33.4 kJ / 0.0166 moles = -2012.0482 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)
