Explain why salivary amylase would not digest protein

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:This particular enzyme promotes the breakdown of starches into simpler sugars which can be absorbed by the body. Salivary amylase, like most other enzymes, is a protein. ... Consequentlysalivary amylase does not function once it enters the stomach.

If a weak acid is 25% deprotonated at ph 4, what is the pka?if a weak acid is 25% deprotonated at ph 4, what is the pka?

Oksanka [162]

4.48
pH=pKa+log([A-/HA])

25% deprotonated tells us that A- is .25 and that the rest (75% is protonated) thats .75.

4 = pKa + log $\frac{.25}{.75}$
4 - log $\frac{.25}{.75}$ = pKa
4.48=pKa

How many grams of hcl can be produced from the reaction of 23 moles of h2 and 875g of cl2?

max2010maxim [7]

Answer: 899 g

Explanation:

Since the mass of a mole of diatomic chlorine is about 70.9 g/mol, this means that 875 grams is about 875/70.9 = 12.3 mol.

Hence, we know that chlorine is the limiting reactant, and that about 12.3 moles of chlorine will be consumed.

This means that 12.3(2)=24.6 grams of HCl will be produced, which will have a mass of about (24.6)(36.46)=899 g

Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system,

givi [52]

Answer: The order from the Most energy released to most Energy Absorbed Is given as 2---> 4--->,3-->---> 1

B)-61.9 kJ

Explanation:

The change in the internal energy of a system is positive if the reaction absorbs energy and negative if the reaction releases energy. For a system to cause an increase in volume, it must have very high energy built up to be released.

1. Surroundings get colder and the system decreases in volume. Here, the surrounding absorbs energy resulting in positive ΔE

2. Surroundings get hotter and the system expands in volume. Here energy is released causing the system to be negative

3. Surroundings get hotter and the system decreases in volume. Although there is a decreased volume, the system is negative because it releases energy

4. Surroundings get hotter and the system does not change in volume. System is negative because it releases energy even thgoygh there is no change in volume

Therefore the order from the Most energy released to most Energy Absorbed Is given as 2---> 4--->,3-->---> 1

b) Using

ΔE = q+ w from 1st law of thermodynamics

ΔE= ΔH - P ΔV

gIven

ΔH = -75.0KJ

volume= A change from 5.0L TO 2.0L = Final volume - initial volume = 2-5= -3.00L

P= 43.0atm

ΔE= ΔH - P ΔV

P ΔV = 43 atm x -3 = -129L.atm

We first convert L-atm to Joules.

1 L-atm = 101.325 Joules.

129L.atm = 129 x 101.325 = - 13071 J

to KJ becomes

13071/1000 = - 13.071KJ

Recall ΔE= ΔH - P ΔV and putting values

ΔE = -75.0 - (-13.071 KJ)= -75.0 kJ + 13.071 kJ = -61.9 kJ

Dehydration is a reversible process. Which of the two set-ups, distillation or

Nata [24]

Answer:

Distillation will generate the most cyclohexene.

Explanation:

Let us assume following attached reaction for the synthesis of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol which attains equilibrium after certain time.

As shown in figure the cyclohexanol upon treatment with phosphoric acid undergoes dehydration reaction (removal of water) and produces cyclohexene. On the other hand cyclohexene reacts with water (hydration reaction) and produces cyclohexanol.

Now, if this reaction is allowed in a single flask it will attain equilibrium and will not generate the cyclohexene in high quantity. On the other hand if we apply Le Chatelier's principle ( removal of product moves the equilibrium in right direction) and distillate cyclohexene (boiling the cyclohexene to convert it into vapors and then collect it after condensation) will move the reaction in forward direction and will allow us to generate cyclohexene in high amounts.
