Why are the discrete lines observed and not a continuous spectrum?​

Atoms of individual elements emit light at only specific wavelengths, producing a line spectrum rather than the continuous spectrum of all wavelengths produced by a hot object.

which of the following amino acids are used to measure the protein concentration by UV? A. His B. Pro C. Trp D. Phe E. Tyr
Goryan [66]

Answer:

C. Trp D. Phe E. Tyr

Explanation:

The concentration of a protein has a direct relation with absorbance of the protein in a UV spectrophotometer. The formula which relates concentration with absorbance is described as under:

                A = ∈ x c x l

where, A = Absorbance

            ∈ = Molar extinction co-efficient

            c  = Concentration of absorbing species i.e. protein

             l  = Path length of light

       

Tryptophan (Trp), phenylalanine (Phe ) and tyrosine (Tyr) are three aromatic amino acids which are used to measure protein concentration by UV. It is mainly because of tryptophan (Trp), protein absorbs at 280 nm which gives us an idea of protein concentration during UV spectroscopy.

The table depicting the wavelength at which these amino acids absorb and their respective molar extinction coefficient is as under:

Amino acid                Wavelength            Molar extinction co-efficient (∈)

Tryptophan                     282 nm                        5690

Tyrosine                          274 nm                        1280

Phenylalanine                 257 nm                        570

In view of table above, we can easily see that Molar extinction co-efficient (∈) of Tryptophan is highest amongst all these 3 amino acids that is why it dominates while measuring concentration.

a gas sample occupies a volume of 140 mL at a temperature of 296 K and a pressure of 98.2kPa. how many moles of gas are there? s
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

0.00559 mol

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

V = 140mL = 0.14L

T = 296K

P = 98.2kPa = 98200Pa

Recall: 101325Pa = 1atm

98200Pa = 98200/101325 = 0.97atm

R = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

n =?

The number of mole (n) can be obtained as follows:

PV = nRT

n = PV /RT

n = (0.97x0.14)/(0.082x296)

n = 0.00559 mol

Therefore, the number of mole of the gas present is 0.00559 mol

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Sound waves required a medium.

Explanation:

In space, there is only vacuum hence no any medium for sound wave travel.

Since sound waves are mechanical waves, they require a material medium such as air, hence no sound transmission.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Bottle 2 shows the vinegar has a molarity of 2M acetic acid

Explanation:

2M of acetic acid has higher concentration of acetic acid as compared to other vinegar. In 2M of acetic acid is equals to 120 gram of acetic acid in 500 ml of water which is quiet higher than other concentration of acetic acid in vinegar which is 4%. So Mr. Holmes has to use 2M of acetic acid which will produced high intense eruption in the volcano and win the national science fair contest.
