A scientist is conducting a Sanger's sequencing experiment to determine the number of polypeptides present in an oligomeric prot

ein. The molecular weight of the protein is 18000 g/mol . After the reaction of 520 mg of the protein with 1‑fluoro‑2,4‑dinitrobenzene, the peptide bonds were hydrolyzed with an acid. As a result, the scientist obtained 39 mg of 2,4‑dinitrophenyl serine. What is the number of the polypeptide chains present in the oligomer?

Answer:

Depends on molecule.

Explanation:

The number of the polypeptide chains present in the oligomer depends on the molecule. Some molecules have more polypeptide chains whereas some of them have less polypeptide chains. For example, Hemoglobin is a oligomer that consists of four Polypeptide Chains, two of these Polypeptide Chains are α-globin molecules, each comprise of 141 amino acids, and the other two are (β, γ, δ, or ε) globins, each consist of 146 amino acids.

What do the coefficients located before certain molecules in each chemical equation represent?
olga55 [171]
It represents the number of moles required of that molecule to balance the chemical equation, which means to have the reaction chemically happen and goes to completion.

For example:
CH4 + O2 --> H2O + CO2     that is not balanced

with the coefficients located
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2    now with the coefficients the number of oxygen and hydrogen on each side are equal

Select the reason why two molecules of benzaldehyde cannot react via the aldol condensation.
Lesechka [4]
Benzaldehyde or C6H5CHO would not undergo the aldol condensation because it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen in its structure. Aldol condensation is a type of reaction that happens between an enolate and an aldehyde or ketone leading to a alkene that has a planar structure. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen would not allow for it to undergo such process since it cannot enolize. Benzaldehyde undergoes a nucleophilic reaction known as Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It has somehow same mechanism of the aldol reaction however, the nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl happens even without the alpha-hydrogen but with an enolate that is from a ketone.

If 3.289 x 10^23 atoms of potassium react with excess water, how many grams of hydrogen gas would be produced?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The amount in grams of hydrogen gas produced is 0.551 grams

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Number of atoms of potassium, aₙ = 3.289 × 10²³ atoms

Chemical equation for the reaction is given as follows;

2K + 2H₂O \rightarrow KOH + H₂

Avogadro's number, N_A, regarding the number of molecules or atom per mole is given s follows;

N_A = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms/mole

Therefore;

The number of moles of potassium present = 3.289 × 10²³/(6.02 × 10²³) = 0.546 moles

2 moles of potassium produces one mole of hydrogen gas, therefore;

1 moles of potassium produces 1/2 mole of hydrogen gas, and 0.546 moles of potassium will produce 0.546/2 moles of hydrogen which is 0.273 moles of hydrogen gas

The molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2.016 grams

Therefore, 0.273 moles will have a mass of 0.273×2.016 = 0.551 grams.

The amount in grams of hydrogen gas produced = 0.551 grams.
