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.

calculate how many milliliters of 0.142 M NaOH are needed to completely neutralize 21.4 mL of 0.294 M H2C4H4O6.
Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 88.7 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

Concentration of NaOH = 0.142 M

Volume of H₂C₄H₄O₆ = 21.4 ml

Concentration of H₂C₄H₄O₆ = 0.294 M

Balanced chemical reaction

               2 NaOH + H₂C₄H₄O₆  ⇒  Na₂C₄H₄O₆  +  2H₂O

1.- Calculate the moles of H₂C₄H₄O₆

Molarity = moles/volume

Solve for moles

moles = Molarity x volume

Substitution

moles = 0.294 x 21.4/1000

Result

moles = 0.0063

2.- Use proportions to calculate the moles of NaOH

              2 moles of NaOH ------------------ 1 moles of H₂C₄H₄O₆

               x                           ------------------ 0.0063 moles

               x = (0.0063 x 2) / 1

               x = 0.0126 moles of NaOH

3.- Calculate the volume  of NaOH

Molarity = moles / volume

Solve for volume

Volume = moles/Molarity

Substitution

Volume = 0.0126/0.142

Result

Volume = 0.088 L or 88.7 ml

Can you use volume to measure out a mole of a gas? Why or why not?
Rashid [163]

The volume of a gas is defined by the volume of its container.  

However, given the number of moles, and standard temperature and pressure, you can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume.

which state of matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are held closely together by attractive forces between them
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

In solid state all the atoms and molecules are held very closely together by strong attractive forces.

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

Consider the example of water. Which is present in three state solid, liquid and gas. In the form of ice its volume is less as compared to the liquid and gas, because molecules are tightly packed. If we melt the same ice we observe the volume is increase because molecules are now apart from each other. The distance between the molecules of water increased. If the same amount of water is evaporated the molecule of water will occupy all available space , and the distance between the water molecules get increased and inter molecular forces becomes negligible.
