Which reaction is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bad White [126]3 years ago
4 0

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.

A student is doing a titration using potassium permanganate solution, KMnO4, to determine the amount of H2O2 in a sample. The ba
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The student failed to rinse the buret with KMnO₄ solution after rinsing it with distilled water.

Explanation:

In a titration, the equivalent moles of titrant must be the same than analyte. If the student calculates an amount of moles of H₂O₂ that is larger than the actual value:

The student failed to wear goggles <em>FALSE. </em>The use of goggles doesn't change the results in the lab but you must use it!

The student did not swirl the flask appropriately and therefore stopped short of the endpoint. <em>FALSE. </em>The stopped short of the endpoint would explain a lower concentration of the real value.

The student failed to rinse the buret with KMnO₄ solution after rinsing it with distilled water. <em>TRUE. </em>If you don't rinse the buret with KMnO₄ solution the concentration of this solution in the buret will be lower than real concentration doing you spend more titrant volume overestimating the amount of H₂O₂ moles.

The student added an extra 15 mL of distilled water to the H₂O₂ solution. <em>FALSE. </em>The addition of water doesn't change the amount of H₂O₂ moles in the solution.

I hope it helps!

You are given 100.0 ml of a 2.0 M solution of KOH. What would be the molarity of the solution if it is diluted to a volume of 10
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

0.2M

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

C1 = 2.0 M

V1 = 100mL

V2 = 1000mL

C2 =?

Using the dilution formula C1V1 = C2V2, the molarity of the diluted solution can be obtained as follows:

C1V1 = C2V2

2 x 100 = C2 x 1000

Divide both side by the 1000

C2 = (2 x 100) / 1000

C2 = 0.2M

The molarity of the diluted solution is 0.2M

Your teacher drinks a glass of water in the front of the classroom and claims, “this water could have been frozen in a glacier o
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Through the processes of melting of the glacier to form water, evaporation of water, condensation and precipitation, water in the form of melting glaciers in Greenland could have moved to the Loch Raven Reservoir and on to our school's water fountain.

Explanation:

Considering a glacier in Greenland. When this glacier melts, its waters flows into the ocean. Subsequent heating of the ocean by sun causes the water to evaporate and rise into the sky as water vapor. This water vapor cools on rising and then condenses into water droplets in sky which forming clouds. A cloud is made of water drops or ice crystals floating in the sky.

Wind movement would then carry the clouds over great distances. These water droplets within a cloud will condense onto one another, causing the droplets to grow. When these water droplets become too heavy to remain suspended in the cloud, they will then either precipitate as rain or snow on land, rivers and oceans.

Over time, with continuous cycling and repetition of these processes, water melting from a glacier in Greenland will eventually make its way into the  Big Gunpowder Falls river which feeds the Loch Raven Reservoir in Baltimore and subsequently, the water will be supplied to our school's water fountain.

Which of the following is the correct electron dot structure for a hydroxide ion?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A hydroxide ion is given as:

       OH⁻

The electron dot notation shows only the chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots to represent the valence electrons. The chemical symbol denotes the nucleus and all electrons except the valence electrons.

The dots are arranged on the four sides in pairs.

Oxygen is made up of 6 valence electrons, and since the ion has a net negative charge, the hydrogen and oxygen achieved their stable configuration this way.
