Technically, there are an infinite number of possible amino acids, though we've found only 20 common ones that many organisms use and at least half a dozen obscure ones that specific organisms use. We focus only on the 20 common ones unless we're in a college level biochemistry course.

The three categories are nonpolar ones, polar ones, and charged ones. The nonpolar ones have non-polar side chains (no oxygens or nitrogens), the polar ones have polar side chains (most contain an OH group but no COOH group), the charged ones are either acidic or basic (has COOH group or a basic nitrogen).

You are given a liquid. Briefly describe the steps you would take to show whether it is a pure substance or a homogeneous mixtur
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

By using any one technique like boiling, distillation, condensation ,etc , one can be used to distinguish between a pure substance and a homogeneous mixture.

Explanation:

If the liquid is a pure substance, then it can not be separated by using physical means because all atoms of a pure substance show same properties.

But on the other hand, if there is homogeneous mixture, it can be separated by using techniques like boiling, distillation, condensation ,etc.

<u>Thus, using any of the one method listed above can be used to distinguish between a pure substance and a homogeneous mixture.</u>

The force of attraction between a divalent cation and a divalent anion is 1.64 x 10-8 N. If the ionic radius of the cation is 0.
Elden [556K]

The radius of the anion is 7.413 nm

<h3>How to calculate the force of attraction between charges</h3>

The force of attraction (F) is given by the formula:

  • F = (1/4π∈r²)(Zc*e)(Za*e)

where:

∈ = permittivity of free space = 8.85*10⁻¹⁵ F/m

Zc = charge on the cation = +2

Zc = charge on the anion = -2

e = charge on an electron = 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹ C

r = interionic distance

r = rc + ra

where rc and ra are the radius of the cation and anion respectively

F = 1.64 * 10⁻⁸ N

Therefore based on the equation of force of attraction:

1.64 *10⁻⁸ = [1/4π(8.85*10⁻¹⁵)r²](2 * 1.602*10⁻¹⁹)²

r² = 5.63 * 10⁻¹⁷

r = 7.50 nm

Since r = rc + ra

where rc = 0.087 nm

thus, ra = r - rc = 7.50 - 0.087

ra = 7.413 nm

Therefore, the radius of the anion is 7.413 nm

Allisa [31]

Explanation:

(1).  It is known that in a reaction equation, reactants are placed or written on left hand side and products are written on the right hand side.

For example, N_{2} + 3H_{2} \rightarrow 2NH_{3}

Hence, in a reaction equation you start with the reactants and end up with the products.

(2).  The number of atoms in a reaction will remain the same because according to the law of conservation of mass, mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of products.

Therefore, number of atoms on the reactant side will be equal to the number of atoms on product side.

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)
Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute

Compute the freezing point of this solution:
Softa [21]

Answer:

moles solute = 25.5 / molar mass

moles solute /0.1 Kg = molality

delta T = molality x 1.86

freezing point = 0°C - delta T
