Answer:

- The formation of a peptide bond involves a dehydration reaction.

- A tripeptide contains three amino acid residues.

Explanation:

Peptide bonds are a type of covalent bonds that form between amino acid molecules. A peptide bond links two amino acids together by removing an hydrogen atom from the amine functional group (-NH2) and an hydroxyl (OH) from carboxylic functional group (-COOH) to release a water molecule. Hence, the formation of a peptide bond involves a dehydration reaction i.e loss of water.

This linking of one amino acid to another via a peptide bond forms a polypeptide and consequently a protein molecule. In other words, proteins are polymers of peptides. However, the linkage of three amino acids is called TRIPEPTIDE

Molecular polarity has a direct effect on the behavior of molecular compounds. The attractive forces between polar molecules are
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Stronger

Greater

Higher

Explanation:

Molecules are held together by intermolecular forces. These are forces that act between molecules in a particular state matter. Intermolecular forces depend on the nature of the molecule.

For polar molecules, the intermolecular forces are stronger thus it takes more energy to separate them leading to a higher boiling point of polar molecules irrespective of their molecular mass.

A solution of acetic acid and water contains 205.0 g L-1 of acetic acid and 820.0 g L-1 of water. Compute the density of the sol
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

\rho_t=1025000 gmL^{-1}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density of acetic acid \rho_a=205 gL^{-1}

Density of Water \rho_w=820 gL^{-1}

Generally the equation for Solution Density is mathematically given by

\rho_t= \rho_w+\rho_a

\rho_t=205+820

\rho_t=1025 gL^{-1}

\rho_t=1025000 gmL^{-1}

How much energy is needed to completely boil a 5.05g sample of water?
Keith_Richards [23]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the amount of heat energy that would be required in order to boil 5.05g of water is that of 11.4kJ of heat.

<h3>Why does it take this much energy to boil the water?</h3>

We arrive at this number by taking into account the energy needed to boil 1g of water to its vaporization point. This results in the use of 2260 J of heat energy. We then take this number and multiply it by the total grams of water being heated, in this case, 5.05g, which gives us our answer of 11.4 kJ of energy required.

Therefore, we can confirm that the amount of heat energy that would be required in order to boil 5.05g of water is that of 11.4kJ of heat.

A heat energy of 645 J is applied to a sample of glass with a mass of 28.4 g. Its temperature increases from –11.6 ∞C to 15.5 ∞C
Anika [276]
The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation,
                        heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1)
Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below,
                                specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1))
Substituting,
                                specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6))
The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.
