Answer:

Explanation:

In this chemistry lab, students investigate how to build and launch a simple rocket that uses hydrogen and oxygen gases that will be mixed to propel the rocket (large bulb plastic pipette). Students will understand the principles of combustion reactions, kinetics, stoichiometry of reactions, activation energy, explosive mixtures, rocketry, and different types of chemical reactions. Students will explore and determine the proportions of hydrogen and oxygen mixture that will achieve the best launch results. Students will compare the balanced chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen with their lab results; students should discover that the optimal distance occurs when the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is two to one hydrogen, oxygen mixture ratio and this can be determined theoretically from the balanced chemical reaction equation. Students will perform the lab, collect data, and discuss, compare, and contrast their lab findings with the balanced chemical reaction equation. Students will present their structured inquiry investigations using a power-point presentation. Other groups along with the teacher will assess each group by using a provided rubric. Group assessments will be the deciding assessment for the final lab score. A follow up activity could investigate how NASA scientists launch real rockets into space and propose a procedure to investigate and collect data on a launching a heavier object at the school football field.

Helga [31]

Answer:

2.2×10^8

Explanation:

Cu(OH)2(s)<---------> Cu^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) Ksp=2.2 x 10 ^-20

2H3O^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) <-------> 4H2O(l). Kw= 1×10^14

Cu^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l) <--------> [Cu(H2O)4]^2+(aq)

Overall ionic reaction:

Cu(OH)2(s) +2H3O^+(aq) <---------> [Cu(H20)4]^2+(aq)

Equilibrium constant for the reaction: Ksp×Kw= 2.2 x 10 ^-20 × (1/(1×10^-14))^2

Keq= 2.2×10^8

Kw= ion dissociation constant of water

irvinase is an enzyme that has 4 cys residues tied up in 2 disulfide bonds. you denature irvinase with 8m urea in the presence o
Elena L [17]

Answer:

1. Quaternary structure of proteins relates to the interactions between separate polypeptide chains within the protein. The word polypeptide refers to a polymer of amino acids. A protein may contain one or more polypeptides and is folded and may be covalently modified.

2. Hemoglobin (and many other proteins) have multiple polypeptide subunits. Interactions between the subunits include ionic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. Modification of the quaternary structure of a protein may have the same effects as modification of its tertiary structure - alteration of its function/activity.

3. The enzyme ribonuclease (RNase) is interesting in being very stable to heat and other things that denature/inactivate other proteins. (By the way, denaturation is a word that means the tertiary and/or quaternary structure of a protein is disrupted.). RNase has disulfide bonds that help it to remain resistant to denaturation. Heating it to 100 Celsius, which denatures most proteins does not denature RNase. Breaking the disulfide bonds of RNAse with a reagent like mercaptoethanol followed by heating to 100 Celsius to destroy hydrogen bonds (or treatment with urea) causes loss of activity. If one allows the hydrogen bonds to reform slowly, some of the enzyme's activity reappears, which indicates that the information necessary for proper folding is contained in the primary structure (amino acid sequence).

4. Disulfide bonds are important structural components of proteins. They form when the sulfhydryls of two cysteines are brought together in close proximity. Some chemicals, such as mercaptoethanol, can reduce the disulfides (between cysteine residues) in proteins to sulfhydryls. In the process of transferring electrons to the cysteines, the sulfhydryls of mercaptoethanol become converted to disulfides. Treatment of RNase with mercaptoethanol reduces RNAse's disulfides to sulfhydryls. Subsequent treatment of RNase with urea disrupts hydrogen bonds and allows the protein to be denatured.

5. Interestingly, removal of the mercaptoethanol and urea from the solution allows RNase to refold, reestablish the correct disulfide bonds, and regain activity. Clearly, the primary sequence of this protein is sufficient for it to be able to refold itself to the proper configuration.

6. Other forces besides disulfide bonds that help to stabilize tertiary structure of proteins include hydrogen bonds, metallic bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic bonds.

7. Chemicals that can disrupt some of these forces include urea or guanidinium chloride (disrupts hydrogen bonds), protons (ionic bonds), and detergents (hydrophobic bonds). In addition, dithiothreitol (DTT) can break disulfide bonds and make sulfhydryls.

8. Proteins sometimes have amino acids in them that are chemically modified. Chemical modification of amino acids in proteins almost always occurs AFTER the protein is synthesized (also described as post-translational modification). Examples include hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in collagen, gamma carboxyglutamate, and phosphoserine. Modification of the collagen residues allows for the triple helical structure of the protein and for the strands to be cross-linked (an important structural consideration).

9. Hemoglobin (and many other proteins) have multiple polypeptide subunits. Interactions between the subunits include disulfide bonds, ionic interactions, hydrogen bonds, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic interactions. Modification of the quaternary structure of a protein may have the same effects as modification of its tertiary structure - alteration of its function/activity.

10. Folding is necessary for proteins to assume their proper shape and function. The instructions for folding are all contained in the sequence of amino acids, but we do not yet understand how those instructions are carried out rapidly and efficiently. Levinthal's paradox illustrates the fact that folding is not a random event, but rather based on an ordered sequence of events arising from the chemistry of each group.

11. Proper folding of a protein is essential. Cells have complexes called Chaperonins that help some proteins to fold properly. Misfolding of proteins is implicated in diseases such as mad cow disease and Creutzfeld-Jacob disease in humans. The causative agent in these diseases is a "contagious" protein that is coded by the genome of each organism. When it doesn't fold properly, it helps induce other copies of the same protein to misfold as well, resulting in plaque-like structures that destroy nerve cells.

Plz help ......<br><br>Na+ has completely filled k and L shells . explain<br>​
inessss [21]

Explanation:

Na represents the neutral element; Sodium. Because of it's atomic number of 11, It has 11 electrons.

Na+ on the other hand represents a cation. The sodium ion has lost an electron, hence the total number of electrons it has = 10.

The K and L shells each have maximum number of electrons they can accommodate. This is given by the formular; 2n^2

K shell = 2 (1)^2 = 2 electrons

L shell = 2 (2)^2 = 8 electrons

Seeing as Na+ has 10 electrons, It completely filled the K and L shells ( 2 + 8 = 10 )
