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.

Answer:

Over time, the plant matter transforms from moist, low-carbon peat, to coal, All types of coal also contain sulfur, which, when burned, releases toxic air pollution. Sulfur All this coal comes from mines, which are either underground or run on diesel—a major source of air toxins, nitrogen oxide, and soot.

Look at the diagram. Which shows the correct arrangement of electrons in a hydrogen molecule?
skelet666 [1.2K]
It’s diagram because hydrogen has one proton and you’re not talking about ions so it needs another electron to stable itself

CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g). What mass of water is produced from the complete combustion of 5.00×10−3 g of methane?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1gram of water

Explanation:

First balance the equation

Ch4+2O2>CO2+2H2O

Ratio is 1:2

500×10-3what about 2?

500×10-3×2=1g

he standard enthalpies of formation for S (g), F (g), SF4 (g), and SF6 (g) are +278.8, +79.0, -775, and -1209 kJ per mole, respe
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

+60.54 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The enthalpy of formation of a compound is the sum of the enthalpies of the formation of its constituents and the bond of them. To form a compound, energy must be lost, so, they're negative.

For SF4, the enthalpy is formed by the energy of one S, two F, and 4 S-F bond (Hb):

H = - (278.8 + 4*79.0 + 4*Hb)

-775 = -(594.8 + 4Hb)

594.8 + 4Hb = 775

4Hb = 180.2

Hb = +45.05 kJ/mol

For SF6, the enthalpy is formed by the energy of one S, six F, and 6 S--F bonds (Hb):

H = -(278.8 + 6*79.0 + 6*Hb)

-1209 = -(752.8 + 6Hb)

752.8 + 6Hb = 1209

6Hb = 456.2

Hb = +76.03 kJ/mol

Thus, the energy of S--F bond must be the average of these two:

(45.05 + 76.03)/2 = +60.54 kJ/mol

Which three factors are most important in determining the composition of ocean water
AfilCa [17]
First factor: Density of water
This density of water is affected by the level of salt present in it. They are inversely proportional. This means that as the amount of salt in water increases (water becomes more salty), the density of water would decrease

Second factor: Temperature
Temperature affects the composition of water because as temperature increases, the ocean water evaporates and the salt precipitates. Therefore, this factor is essential in determining the rate by which the ocean water evaporates

Third factor: Salinity
This factor helps in determining the amount of salt present in the ocean, i.e, concentration of salt in the water.

Hope this helps :)
