The correct answer to this is:
<span>Chondroitin sulfate is abundant in the matrix of <u>“Cartilage”.</u></span>
<span>A 1 unit of Chondroitin sulfate has a chemical formula of
C</span>13H21NO15<span>S. It is
usually found attached to proteins as part of a proteoglycan and is a vital
structure of cartilage by providing much resistance to compression. Due to
this, this chemical has found wide use as a dietary supplement for treatment of
osteoarthritis.</span>
Solution:
At the equivalence point, moles NaOH = moles benzoic acid
HA + NaOH ==> NaA + H2O where HA is benzoic acid
At the equivalence point, all the benzoic acid ==> sodium benzoate
A^- + H2O ==> HA + OH- (again, A^- is the benzoate anion and HA is the weak acid benzoic acid)
Kb for benzoate = 1x10^-14/4.5x10^-4 = 2.22x10^-11
Kb = 2.22x10^-11 = [HA][OH-][A^-] = (x)(x)/0.150
x^2 = 3.33x10^-12
x = 1.8x10^-6 = [OH-]
pOH = -log [OH-] = 5.74
pH = 14 - pOH = 8.26
Answer:
Proteins
Explanation:
Polymerization, in chemistry, is the chemical combination of monomeric units to form a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of smaller units called monomers. Amino acids are the monomeric units of proteins i.e. A protein is made up of of many amino acids joined together.
Therefore, the chemical combination of amino acids will form a peptide bond between the carbon atom of the acid group and nitrogen atom of the amine group in the structure of the amino acids. This is done by the loss of a water molecule. The continuous repetition of this polymerization process will form a chain called polypeptide, which is the PROTEIN.
