Alpha helices are a type of secondary structure in proteins. What is the length of a 33.0 kDa single‑stranded α‑helical protein

segment? Assume a mean residue mass of 110 Da . length: Å

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

Answer:

450 Å

Explanation:

The amino acids in an α-helix are arranged in a right-handed helical structure where each amino acid residue corresponds to a 100° turn in the helix, and a translation of 1.5 Å (0.15 nm) along the helical axis

Mass of protein= 33.0 kDa

33.0 kDa ×(1000Da/kDa) × ( 1 residue/ 110 Da)

=33.0 ×1000 × 0.0091

= 300 residues

300 residues × (1.5Å /residue)

=450 Å

Which of these is not a covalent molecule?<br> 1. F2<br> 2. CO<br> 3. LiF<br> 4. NH3
beks73 [17]

LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.

Option 3.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.

The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.

Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.

So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.

A certain radioactive atom has 90 protons and 142 neutrons. If this atom undergoes alpha decay, what is the mass number of the d
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

228

Explanation:

alpha decay is removing alpha particle _2^{4}He

2 number of protons, 4 mass number = 2 protons + 2 neutrons

We have

      90 protons and 142 neutrons

<u>       - 2 protons         -  2 neutrons</u>

      88 protons         140 neutrons

Mass number of new (daughter) atom = 88 +140 = 228

A mixture of ch4 and h2o is passed over a nickel catalyst at 1000. k. the emerging gas is collected in a 5.00-l flask and is fou
Scrat [10]
                    
According to that Kc is an equilibrium constant in terms of molar concentrations.
and Kc = [C]^c *[D]^d / [A]^a * [B]^b >>>> (1)
in the general reaction:
aA + bB ↔ cC + dD 
and, from our balanced equation:
CH4 + H2O ⇔ Co + 3H2 >>> (2)
So, we need to calculate the concentrations (molarity) of the products and reactants:
the Molarity of CH4 = no. of moles/volume (L)
 and no. of moles = weigh / Molecular weight = 42.3 / 16 = 2.643 moles
so the molarity of CH4 = 2.643 / 5 = 0.528 molar
the molarity of H20 = (49.2 / 18) / 5 =  0.546 molar
the molarity of CO = (8.32/28) / 5 = 0.059 molar
the molarity of H2 = (2.63 / 2) / 5 = 0.263 molar 
By substitution in (1) according to (2);
∴ Kc = [0.059]*[0.263]^3 / ( [0.528]*[0.546]) = 3.7 * 10 ^-3  >>>> (3)
Kp = Kc (RT)^(Δn) >>> (4)
where R is the gas constant = 0.0821,
and Δn is the change in moles in gas= (3(H2) + 1 (CO) - (1 H2O + 1 CH4) = 2
by substition in (4):
∴ Kp = 3.7*10^-3 (0.0821* 1000)^2= 24.939
