How is it possible to have thousands of different proteins when there are only 20 different amino acids?

Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins.

In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.

What<br>was the initial volume of the hydrogen in cm3?

svetlana [45]

Answer:

255.51cm3

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) =?

T1 (initial temperature) = 50°C = 50 + 273 = 323K

T2 (final temperature) = - 5°C = - 5 + 237 = 268K

V2 (final volume) = 212cm3

Using the Charles' law equation V1/T1 = V2/T2, the initial volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1/323 = 212/268

Cross multiply to express in linear form

V1 x 268 = 323 x 212

Divide both side by 268

V1 = (323 x 212)/268

V1 = 255.51cm3

Therefore, the initial volume of the gas is 255.51cm3

Calculate the Ph of:

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

pH= 3.82

Explanation:

Sodium ethanoate or sodium acetate (CH3COONa) ionises completely.

Ethanoic acid or acetic acid (CH3COOH), ionises partially because it is a weak acid.

how many kilograms of a 35% m/m sodium chlorate solution is needed to react completely with 0.29 l of a 22% m/v aluminum nitrate

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:- 0.273 kg

Solution:- A double replacement reaction takes place. The balanced equation is:

$3NaClO_3+Al(NO_3)_3\rightarrow 3NaNO_3+Al(ClO_3)_3$

We have 0.29 L of 22% m/v aluminum nitrate solution. m/s stands for mass by volume. 22% m/v aluminium nitrate solution means 22 g of it are present in 100 mL solution. With this information, we can calculate the grams of aluminum nitrate present in 0.29 L.

$0.29L(\frac{1000mL}{1L})(\frac{22g}{100mL})$

= 63.8 g aluminum nitrate

From balanced equation, there is 1:3 mol ratio between aluminum nitrate and sodium chlorate. We will convert grams of aluminum nitrate to moles and then on multiplying it by mol ratio we get the moles of sodium chlorate that could further be converted to grams.

We need molar masses for the calculations, Molar mass of sodium chlorate is 106.44 gram per mole and molar mass of aluminum nitrate is 212.99 gram per mole.

$63.8gAl(NO_3)_3(\frac{1mol}{212.99g})(\frac{3molNaClO_3}{1molAl(NO_3)_3})(\frac{106.44g}{1mol})$

= $95.7gNaClO_3$

sodium chlorate solution is 35% m/m. This means 35 g of sodium chlorate are present in 100 g solution. From here, we can calculate the mass of the solution that will contain 95.7 g of sodium chlorate and then the grams are converted to kg.

$95.7gNaClO_3(\frac{100gSolution}{35gNaClO_3})(\frac{1kg}{1000g})$

= 0.273 kg

So, 0.273 kg of 35% m/m sodium chlorate solution are required.
