All the following are steps included in linking amino acids to form chains except

1 answer:

4 0

The correct option is D.
During peptide formation, when two amino acids come together, a hydrogen atom and two molecules of oxygen are released in form of water molecules. The amino acid that present the carboxyl group to the reaction loses an hydroxyl group while the amino acid that present the amino group to the reaction loses a hydrogen.

An aqueous solution of iron(II) iodide has a concentration of 0.215 molal. The percent by mass of iron(II) iodide in the solutio

Basile [38]

Answer:

6.24%

Explanation:

Molality by definition means a measurement of the number of moles of solute in solution with 1000 gm or 1Kg solvent. Notice the difference that Molarity is defined on the volume of solution and Molality on the mass of solvent.

So, An aqueous solution of iron(II) iodide has a concentration of 0.215 molal.

means 0.215 moles are present in 1 Kg of solvent.

The molar mass of Fe2I = 309.65 g / mole

mass of FeI2 = moles x molar mass

= 0.215 x 309.65

=66.57 gm

mass % of FeI2 = mass of FeI2 x 100 / total mass

= 66.57x 100 / (1000 +66.57)

= 6.24%

An alkene with the molecular formula C8H16 undergoes ozonolysis to yield a mixture of (CH3)2C=O and (CH3)3CCHO. The alkene is:

aalyn [17]

Answer:

2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Explanation:

In ozonolysis (hydrolysis step involve a reducing agent such as Zn, $Me_{2}S$ etc.), a pi bond is broken to form ketone/aldehyde.

Ketone is formed from di-substituted side of double bond and aldehyde is formed from mono-substituted side of double bond.

Ozoznolysis involves two consecutive steps : (1) formation of ozonide, (2) hydrolysis of ozonide.

Hydrolysis can be done with/without using reducing agent. Carboxylic acid/carbon dioxide/ketone is produced when hydrolysis is done without using reducing agent.

Here, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Reaction steps are shown below.
