A sample of the amino acid tyrosine is barely soluble in water. Would a polypeptide containing only Tyr residues, poly(Tyr), be

more or less soluble, assuming the total number of Tyr residues is the same in both cases? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

The first thing we need to know is that the amino acid of tyrosine has an aromatic ring within its structure.

Also, recall that aromatics hydrocarbons are considered to be unsaturated and non-polar.

So, since like dissolve like. Then, The non-polar character of tyrosine is enhanced by its aromatic ring. As a result, Tyrosine amino acid is much more soluble in less polar solvents like methanol and ethanol than in moderate highly polar water.

From the given information:

Since water is a very polar solvent, and tyrosine amino acid is not particularly polar, it is just barely soluble in it.

In addition to the aforementioned, peptides are strongly polar in nature. However, as the amount of tyrosine amino acids in a peptide increases, the region of the non-polar portion of the peptide increases (owing to the rise of the aromatic ring), and thus the non-polar value of the peptide will also rise. And this non-polar nature of peptide will make them more soluble in non-polar solvent and decrease its solubility in water (because water is polar in nature). And since peptides are non-polar, they would be more soluble in non-polar solvents and have less solubility in water.

hydrogen chloride, hydrogen nitrate (v), sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide. Name a substance known as common salt​
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

C: Sodium chloride

Explanation:

Common salt is gotten when sodium atoms reacts with chlorine atoms in an exothermic reaction to form an ionic substance known as sodium chloride with the chemical formula NaCl.

Equation is;

2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl

Looking at the options, the correct one is Sodium chloride.

The series which is in order of increasing boiling point is CH3CH2CH3 CH3COCH3 CH2CH2CH3OH

However, the boiling point of an organic substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid organic substance equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor.

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds are substance containing carbon and hydrogen. Some few organic compounds include:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkynes
  • Alkanols
  • Alkanals
  • Alkanones
  • Esters
  • Amines

So therefore, the series which is in order of increasing boiling point is CH3CH2CH3 CH3COCH3 CH2CH2CH3OH

How many atoms are in 123 g of calcium
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Molar mass of Ca = 40 g / mol , given 123 g Ca is 123/40= 3.075 moles,

1 mole = 6.022 * 10^23 atoms, so 3.075 moles Ca= 18.51*10^23 atoms

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:which formula represents the h+ acceptor in the forward reaction?
AnnyKZ [126]
Question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.............................................................................................................................

Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)

Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct

HCO3-(aq)     +     H2O(l)      →      H2CO3(aq)     +      OH-(aq)

In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base, HCO3- is a base, while H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.
