Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Amino acids can be classified depending on the side chain structure in

acidic
basic
neutral
aliphatic
aromatic
sulfur containing amino acids.

Aspargine is a neutral amino acid that has a key role in glycoproteins biosynthesis. Aspargine helps the body to resist fatigue and contributes to a smooth functioning of the liver.

What is the percent composition of N H S O in (NH4)2SO4

Lena [83]

Answer:

The percent composition is 21% N, 6% H, 24% S and 49% O.

Explanation:

1st) The molar mass of (NH4)2SO4 is 132g/mol, and it represents the 100% of the mass composition.

In 1 mole of (NH4)2SO4, there are:

- 2 moles of N.

- 8 moles of H.

- 1 mole of S.

- 4 moles of O.

2nd) It is necessary to calculate the mass of each element, multiplying its molar mass by the number of moles:

- 2 moles of N (14g/mol) = 28g

- 8 moles of H (1g/mol) = 8g

- 1 mole of S (32g/mol) = 32g

- 4 moles of O (16g/mol) = 64g

3rd) With a mathematical rule of three we can calculate the percent composition of each element in the molecule of (NH4)2SO4:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Nitrogen:} \\ 132g-100\% \\ 28g-x=\frac{28g*100\%}{132g} \\ x=21\% \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \text{ Hydrogen:} \\ 132g-100\operatorname{\%} \\ 8g-x=\frac{8g*100\operatorname{\%}}{132g} \\ x=6\% \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \text{ Sulfur:} \\ 132g-100\operatorname{\%} \\ 32g-x=\frac{32g*100\operatorname{\%}}{132g} \\ x=24\% \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \text{ Oxygen:} \\ 100\%-21\%-6\%-24\%=49\% \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

In this case, we can calculate the percent composition of Oxygen by subtracting the other percentages, since the total must be 100%.

So, the percent composition is 21% N, 6% H, 24% S and 49% O.

Why is DDT a dangerous environmental pollutant?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

DDT was one of the first chemicals in widespread use as a pesticide.
Food supplies: USDA found DDT breakdown products in 60% of heavy cream samples, 42% of kale greens, 28% of carrots and lower percentages of many other foods.Body burden: DDT breakdown products were found in the blood of 99% of the people tested by CDC.Health impacts: Girls exposed to DDT before puberty are 5 times more likely to develop breast cancer in middle age, according to the President’s Cancer Panel.

A 60.0 g block of iron that has an initial temperature of 250. °C and 60.0 g bloc of gold that has an initial temperature of 45.

Maslowich

Answer:

The final temperature at the equilibrium is 204.6 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of iron = 60.0 grams

Initial temperature = 250 °C

Mass of gold = 60.0 grams

Initial temperature of gold = 45.0 °C

The specific heat capacity of iron = 0.449 J/g•°C

The specific heat capacity of gold = 0.128 J/g•°C.

Step 2: Calculate the final temperature at the equilibrium

Heat lost = Heat gained

Qlost = -Qgained

Qiron = -Qgold

Q=m*c*ΔT

m(iron) * c(iron) *ΔT(iron) = -m(gold) * c(gold) *ΔT(gold)

⇒with m(iron) = the mass of iron = 60.0 grams

⇒with c(iron) = the specific heat of iron = 0.449 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(iron)= the change of temperature of iron = T2 - T1 = T2 - 250.0°C

⇒with m(gold) = the mass of gold= 60.0 grams

⇒with c(gold) = the specific heat of gold = 0.128 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(gold) = the change of temperature of gold = T2 - 45.0 °C

60.0 *0.449 * (T2 - 250.0) = -60.0 * 0.128 * (T2 - 45.0 )

26.94 * (T2 - 250.0) = -7.68 * (T2 - 45.0)

26.94T2 - 6735 = -7.68T2 + 345.6

34.62T2 = 7080.6

T2 = 204.5 °C

The final temperature at the equilibrium is 204.6 °C

Plz Help! What are antibodies and what role do vaccines play in producing them?

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Antibodies are types of proteins in the body that can prevent diseases. Once a vaccine is introduced into the bloodstream, it immediately causes the production of antibodies to occur by using T-cells and B lymphocytes, or at least, most vaccines work like that.

Which term refers to a universal fact sometimes based on mathematical equations?

torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is a scientific law.

Explanation:

The laws of science or scientific laws refer to the statements, which predict or illustrate an array of natural processes. It is a statement based on observations or spontaneous experiments, which illustrate some characteristics of the natural world.

The term law exhibits different uses in various circumstances, that is, across all the branches of natural science. The laws are formulated through data and can be further created via mathematics, in all the conditions, they are indirectly or directly based on empirical evidence. The scientific laws recapitulate the outcomes of observations or experiments, generally within some point of application.
