A sample of 211 g of iron (III) bromide is reacted with

Alisiya [41]

FeBr₃ ⇒ limiting reactant

mol NaBr = 1.428

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

2FeBr₃ + 3Na₂S → Fe₂S₃ + 6NaBr

Limiting reactant⇒ smaller ratio (mol divide by coefficient reaction)

FeBr₃

211 g of Iron (III) bromide(MW=295,56 g/mol), so mol FeBr₃ :

$\tt n=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\n=\dfrac{211}{295,56}\\\\n=0.714$

Na₂S

186 g of Sodium sulfide(MW=78,0452 g/mol), so mol Na₂S :

$\tt n=\dfrac{186}{78.0452}=2.38$

Coefficient ratio from the equation FeBr₃ : Na₂S = 2 : 3, so mol ratio :

$\tt FeBr_3\div Na_2S=\dfrac{0.714}{2}\div \dfrac{2.38}{3}=0.357\div 0.793$

So FeBr₃ as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

mol NaBr based on limiting reactant (FeBr₃) :

$\tt \dfrac{6}{3}\times 0.714=1.428$

Answer the following questions based on the reaction below: NaOH(aq) + KHP(s) --> NaKP(aq)+H2O(I)

Natali [406]

Answer:

<u />

<u>a) 1.44g</u>

<u />

<u>b) 77.3%</u>

<u />

Explanation:

<u>1. Chemical balanced equation (given)</u>

$NaOH(aq)+ KHP(s)\rightarrow NaKP(aq)+H_2O(l)$

<u>2. Mole ratio</u>

$1molNaOH(aq):1molKHP(s)$

This is, 1 mol of NaOH will reacts with 1 mol of KHP.

<u />

<u>3. Find the number of moles in 72.14 mL of the base</u>

$Molarity=\text{number of moles of solute}/\text{volume of solution in liters}$

$\text{Volume of solution}=72.14mL=0.07214liters$

$\text{Number of moles of NaOH}=0.0978M\times 0.07214liter=0.007055mol$

<u>4. Find the number of grams of KHP that reacted</u>

The number of moles of KHP that reacted is equal to the number of moles of NaOH, 0.007055 mol

Convert moles to grams:

mass = number moles × molar mass = 0.007055mol × 204.23g/mol

mass = 1.4408 g.

You have to round to 3 significant figures: 1.44 g (because the molarity is given with 3 significant figures).

<u>5. Find the percentage of KHP in the sample</u>

The percentage is how much of the substance is in 100 parts of the sample.

The formula is:

% = (mass of substance / mass of sample) × 100

% = (1.4408g/ 1.864g) × 100 = 77.3%

which bonds maintain the primary structure of a protein? question 7 options: ionic bonds hydrogen bonds peptide bonds disulfide

Mariulka [41]

Proteins have four structures primary, secondary,m tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure of the protein has been known to have peptide bonds. Thus, option C is correct.

<h3>What are peptide bonds?</h3>

Peptide bonds are the chemical bonds that are involved in protein polymer formation by linking the amino acid chains. They are also called amide bonds that are present between the nitrogen and the carbonyl atom.

The primary structure of the proteins includes the amino linked by the peptide bonds that make them look like linear structures. The secondary structures have hydrogen bonds and the tertiary have ionic and hydrophilic hydrogen bonds.

Therefore, option C. the primary structure of the protein contains peptide bonds.
