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
Chemistry
1 answer:
WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
7 0

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 best explains why the trend in noble gas boiling points increases down the group?A) increasing dispersion interactions B)
zhenek [66]

Answer:

A) increasing dispersion interactions

Explanation:

Polarizability allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (for example,  to condense. In these gases, the most important kind of interaction produces <em>dispersion forces</em>, <em>attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.</em>

<em>Dispersion forces</em>, which are also called <em>London forces</em>, usually <u>increase with molar mass because molecules with larger molar mass tend to have more electrons</u>, and <u>dispersion forces increase in strength with the number of electrons</u>. Furthermore, larger molar mass often means a bigger atom whose electron distribution is more easily disturbed because the outer electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei.

Because the noble gases are all nonpolar molecules, <u>the only attractive intermolecular  forces present are the dispersion forces</u>.

Find the [H+] in an acetic acid solution that has a pH of 5.12
Eva8 [605]
<span>Data:
pH = 5.2
[H+] = ?

Knowing that: (</span><span>Equation to find the pH of a solution)</span>
pH = -log[H+]
<span>
Solving:
</span>pH = -log[H+]
5.2 = - log [H+]
Knowing that the exponential is the opposite operation of the logarithm, then we have:
[H+] = 10^{-5.2}
\boxed{\boxed{[H+] = 6.30*10^{-6}}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

What aqueous solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure? A) 1.0 M KCl(aq) B) 1.0 M CaCl2(aq) C) 2.0 M KCl(aq) D
Lapatulllka [165]
The increase in the boiling point of a solvent is a colligative property.


That means that the increase in the boling point will be related to the number of particles (molecules or ions) present in the solution.


The higher the number of particles (molecules or ions) the higher the increase in the boiling point.


All the aqueous solutions presented are electrolytes, i.e. the solutes are ionic compounds.


Then, you have to compare the number of ions that you have in each solution.


A) 1.0 M KCl ---> 1.0 M K+     +      1.0 MCl-    = 2 moles of particles / liter


B) 1.0 M CaCl2 --> 1.0M Ca(2+)      +      1.0M * 2 Cl (-)    = 3 moles of particle / liter


C) 2.0M KCl ---> 2.0 M K+      +      2.0 M Cl-  = 4 moles of particle / liter


D) 2.0 M CaCl2 ----> 2.0 M Ca (2+)      + 2.0M * 2 Cl (-)  = 6 moles of particle / liter.


Then, the solution 2.0M CaCl2(aq) has the highest increase in the boiling point.


Answer: option D) 2.0 M Ca Cl2(aq)
