    Biochemistry: Tryptophan fluorescence

    1. A 100-residue globular protein contains two Trp residues, and has two segments with the same 9-amino acid sequence, SSSLWLAAA. One segment is residues 1-9, and one segment is residues 44-53. What would the complete fluorescence spectrum of the protein MOST LIKELY contain? a) It would contain...

    Ideal Gas Law solve for partial pressure

    Oh, so two moles of O2 were formed and 1 mole of Xe were formed. So i just needed to multiply the amount of moles by 2 to solve for O2. Thanks!

    Ideal Gas Law solve for partial pressure

    1. Gaseous compound Q contains only xenon and oxygen. When 0.100 g of Q is placed in a 50.0 mL steel vessel at 0 °C, the pressure is 0.229 atm. When the vessel and its contents are warmed to 100 °C, Q decomposes into its constituent elements. What is the total pressure, and what are the partial...

    Relationship between Free energy change and Equilibrium constant (K)

    Here's the problem: A humidity sensor consists of a cardboard square that is colored blue in dry weather and red in humid weather. The color change is due to the reaction: CoCl2(s) + 6 H2O(g) ⇌ [Co(H2O)6]Cl2(s) For this reaction at 25 °C, ΔH° = -352 kJ/mol and ΔS° = -899 J/(K mol)...

    Relationship between Free energy change and Equilibrium constant (K)

    1. I have a question regarding the equation ΔG° = -RT lnK. When solving for the equilibrium constant K, what is the relationship between the vapor pressure of each molecular compound in a reaction? ΔG° = Free energy change R = Universal gas constant T = Temperature K = equilibrium...

    Predict whether the following is neutral, basic, or acidic and the pH

    I actually just the got answer. But if someone could reply in regards to why the pH of the salt solution of o,25 M NH4Br = the dissociation of NH4 to give H3O?

    Predict whether the following is neutral, basic, or acidic and the pH

    1. 0.250 M of NH4Br 2. Ka for NH4 = 5.52 x 10-10 and Kb for NH3 = 1.81 x 10-5 3. So I broke the salt down into its constituents and considering Br is neutral and NH4 is an acid, NH4Br is acidic. I am just confused with how to calculate the pH. I thought that I should do this...NH4 +...

    The Van't hoff factor for CaCL2 is 2.71

    1. The van't hoff factor for CaCL2 is 2.71. What is its mass % in aqueous solution that has Tf = -1.14°C The Attempt at a Solution So I think I am suppose to use the change in freezing point equation: ΔTf= kfmi. Where kf = is the molal freezing point depression constant, i = van't hoff...

    Proof that sqrt(2) is not a rational number

    Hi SpecialPerson, So after substituting a = 2k into the equation, I get 4k^2=2b^2. This means that a and b are still divisible and not in lowest terms. Is that the contradiction? Because both a and b are even numbers, meaning they can still be factored

    Proof that sqrt(2) is not a rational number

    Can I show that a/b can't equal 1?

    Proof that sqrt(2) is not a rational number

    Okay so that would mean that a is an even number, so it technically be written in the form 2a? And if it is written like that, then the equation can take the form 4a2 = 2b2. Thus, b is also an even number.Since they are both even numbers, this means that they have not been factored to their...

    Proof that sqrt(2) is not a rational number

    I was using the fact that any rational solutions of a polynomial equation must be an integer that divides the last coefficient c0, which in this case is -2. So the only rational solutions in the form \frac{c}{d} where c divides -2 and d divides 1 are \pm 1,2 . \sqrt{2} solves the polynomial, but...

    Proof that sqrt(2) is not a rational number

    1. Prove that \sqrt{2} is not a rational number using the rational zero theorem 2. Homework Equations : x2-2 The Attempt at a Solution So, I was thinking to just show that the only rational numbers that have the form \frac{c}{d} are \pm 1, \pm 2, but \sqrt{2} is not any of those...

    Is Induction the Key to Proving n^2 > n+1 for n ≥ 2?

    Induction is the only method to go about proving something that I have learned, other than proof by contradiction, but this is the first chapter, so I would assume that I will learn other ways along the way. The text asked to prove by induction, but I am open to other forms of proofs, since I am...
