1. Answer;

=56 g/mol

Explanation and solution;

PV = nRT

nRT= mass/molar mass (RT)

molar mass = (mass/V ) × (RT/P)

                   = Density × (RT/P)

Molar mass = 2.0 g/L × (0.0821 × 323 K)/0.948 atm

Molar mass = 56 g/mol


2. Answer;

Molecular mass is C4H8

Explanation;

Empirical mass × n = molar mass

Empirical mass for CH2 = 14 g/mol

Therefore;

56 g/mol = 14 g/mol × n

   n = 4

The molecular formula= 4(CH2)

    = C4H8

If a 0.10 M solution of a colored substance has a maximum absorbance at 500 nm and an absorbance of 0.26 M at this wavelength, w
Mashcka [7]
Absorbance is related to the concentration of a substance using the Beer-Lambert's Law. According to this law, absorbance is linearly related to concentration. However, this is only true up to a certain concentration depending on the substance. For this case, we assume that the said law is applicable.

A = kC
Using the first conditions, ewe solve for k.
0.26 = k (0.10)
k = 2.6

A = kC
A = 2.6 (0.20) = 0.52

Therefore, the absorbance at a concentration of 0.20 M and wavelength of 500nm is 0.52.

Which reaction is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids?
Bad White [126]

Answer: B. Hydrolysis (adding water)

Explanation:

When peptide bonds join two or more amino acids together, this is refered to as a peptide. A polypeptide simply means several amino acids. We should also note that proteins contains polypeptides.

The reaction that is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids is hydrolysis. This simply means a chemical process whereby a water molecule is being added to a particular substance.

Why is photosynthesis an endothermic reaction?
diamong [38]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water is used by the plants to make their on food.  

Plants absorb energy in the form of heat from the sunlight and thus produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. This absorbed energy is then used to start various chemical and biochemical reactions in the plants.

Hence, photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that a large amount of energy is required to activate the reaction.
