Procaryotic structural components consist of macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, polysaccharides, phospholipids, or some combination thereof. The macromolecules are made up of primary subunits such as nucleotides, amino acids and sugars (Table 1). It is the sequence in which the subunits are put together in the macromolecule, called the primary structure, that determines many of the properties that the macromolecule will have. Thus, the genetic code is determined by specific nuleotide base sequences in chromosomal DNA; the amino acid sequence in a protein determines the properties and function of the protein; and sequence of sugars in bacterial lipopolysaccharides determines unique cell wall properties for pathogens. The primary structure of a macromolecule will drive its function, and differences within the primary structure of biological macromolecules accounts for the immense diversity of life.

Consider the above unbalanced equation. What volume of CO2 is produced at 270. mm Hg and 38.5°C when 0.820 g of C4H8 reacts with

irinina [24]

Answer:

The volume of CO2 is 4.20 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Pressure = 270 mm Hg = 260 /760 = 0.355263 atm

Temperature : 38.5 °C = 311.65 K

Mass of C4H8 = 0.820 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

C4H8 + 6O2 → 4CO2 + 4H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles C4H8

Moles C4H8 = mass C4H8 / molar mass C4H8

Moles C4H8 = 0.820 grams / 56.11 g/mol

Moles C4H8 = 0.0146 moles

Step 4: Caalculate moles CO2

For 1 mol C4H8 we need 6 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 4 moles H2O

For 0.0146 moles we'll have 4*0.0146 = 0.0584 moles CO2

Step 6: Calculate Volume CO2

p*V = n*R*T

V = (n*R*T) /p

⇒ with V = the volume of CO2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n = the moles of CO2 = 0.0584 moles

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm / mol*K

⇒ with T = The temperature = 311.65 K

⇒ with p = the pressure = 0.355263 atm

V = (0.0584 * 0.08206 * 311.65) / 0.355263

V = 4.20 L

The volume of CO2 is 4.20 L

Experiment #1A melting point of an old sample of Naphthalene was completed and a melting range of 77-83 oC was observed and reco

White raven [17]

Answer:

%error = 0.32%

Explanation:

Let's answer both questions, by parts.

1. Percentage error:

In this case, I do not have the video, but I do have the reported melting point of naphtalene which is 80.26 °C.

The expression to calculate the percentage error is the following:

%Error = absolute error / actual percentage. (1)

And the absolute error is:

Abs error = actual value - experimental value (2)

But the experimental value is a range, so we just have to get a average of that:

Exp value = 77 + 83 / 2 = 80 °C

Now the absolute error:

Abs error = 80.26 - 80 = 0.26 °C

Finally the %error:

%error = (0.26 / 80.26) * 100

<h2>%error = 0.32%</h2>

2. Meaning of melting point range and %error

The melting point range just means that the sample of naphtalene has impurities, and when a sample of any compound has impurities, melting point tends to be low. However, this decrease of temperature is a wider range. But usually a range of just 5° C means that compound has little traces of impurities but it can still be used for reactions.

The %error means that the impurities of the sample are really low, so the sample is practically pure with little traces of impurities.

HELPPPPPPP<br><br>DETERMINE THE CHARGE OF ELECTRON CLOUD OF POTASSIUM

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Potassium atom is represented with the sign "K" in chemistry and have atomic number 19.

The charge of electrons causes a matter to experience a force and it can be positive or negative.

In Potassium atom, the electric charge is +1 to enter a stable electron configuration as there is only one valence electron in the outermost shell of potassium atom. As potassium atom will lose electron it will become positively charged.

Hence, the correct answer is "+1".
