Answer

The components of the r group of amino acid structure varies among different amino acids

Explanation  

As the functional group for amino acids is as:  

R-CH-COOH  

 I  

NH2  

only R differs so amino acids also differs. If R is “H” then amino acid is glycine and if R is “CH3” then amino acid is alanine. Hence, R is different for different amino acids. Other components as alpha carbon ( C ), carboxyl group ( COOH ) and amino group ( NH2 ) is fixed for every amino acid.

Give the structure that corresponds to the following molecular formula and 1H NMR spectrum: C4H10O2: δ 1.36 (3H, d, J = 5.5 Hz);
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

For the determination of a structure through its NMR it is necessary to know its molecular formula as well as the delta values, its coupling and the shift of each signal.

The separation produced is called coupling constant J and is measured in Hz. If the split is produced by two equal protons (equal J) a triple signal known as triplet is produced and if produced by three equal protons, the signal is quadruple and is known as quadruplet. The magnitude of the coupling is varied, depending on the relative disposition of the coupled protons (elevations that separate them, arrangement, spatial arrangement)

OH CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 OH

(A)   (B)   (C)

1,4-butanediol

In the case of the molecule to study the signal at 1.36 shows a doublet, which corresponds to the hydrogen (C), is split in two for each different proton on the same carbon or on neighboring carbons.

At 3.32 ocurrs a singlet, wich belong to hidrogen (B). The last signal is a quintet, at 4.63 belonging to the hydrogen (C)

Explanation

Nuclear magnetic resonance NMR is a physical phenomenon based on the mechanical-quantum properties of atomic nuclei. NMR also refers to the family of scientific methods that explore this phenomenon to study molecules, macromolecules, as well as tissues and whole organisms.

NMR takes advantage of the fact that atomic nuclei resonate at a frequency directly proportional to the force of a magnetic field exerted, in accordance with the Larmor precession frequency equation, to subsequently disturb this alignment with the use of an alternating magnetic field, of orthogonal orientation.

The behavior of the nuclei in the magnetic field can be influenced in multiple ways, to give different types of information, but the basic information obtained is:

  • Frequency at which each particular nuclei comes out, displacement.
  • Number of nucleis of each type, integral.
  • Number and arrangement of nearby nuclei, multiplicity.

Which of these is a form of a chemical weathering
Illusion [34]
Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts. These reactions occur particularly when the water is slightly acidic.

Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of aqueous vanadium(V) cations to aqueous vanadium(I) cations.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

Reduction is a chemical reaction in which electrons are gained by one of the atoms taking part in the reaction and lowering of an oxidation state of that atom.

Reduction takes place at the cathode.

In aqueous, vanadium(V) is present in +5 oxidation state which on reduction changes to vanadium(I) with +1 oxidation state.

The half reaction is :

V^{5+}(aq)+4e^- \rightarrow V^{1+}(aq)

B. If the sand you ran across has a specific-heat capacity of 835 J/(kgºc),
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: 16700 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of sand = 2 kg

c = heat capacity = 835J/kg^0C

Initial temperature  = T_i = 40^0C

Final temperature= T_f  = 50^0C

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(50-40)^0C=10^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

Q=2kg\times 835J/kg^0C\times 10^0C

Q=16700J

16700 J of energy must be added to a 2-kilogram pile of it to increase its temperature from 40°C to 50°C
