Explain why, when the guanidino group of arginine is protonated, the double-bonded nitrogen is the nitrogen that accepts the proton. There is a scheme of a reversible reaction, where one equivalent of the reactant reacts with two equivalents of H plus. The reactant is H2NCNHCH2CH2CH2CHCO minus, with an NH group, with a lone pair at the N atom, double-bonded to the first (from left to right) carbon, an NH2 group attached to the fifth carbon, an O atom double-bonded to the sixth carbon and a lone pair of electrons at the first and the second N atoms of the chain. The product has the same structure as the reactant, except that not an NH group with a lone pair, but an NH2 plus group is double-bonded to the first carbon. In addition, an NH3 plus group is attached to the fifth carbon instead of the NH2 group.

Due to the resonance structures
Explanation:
In the question:
"Explain why, when the guanidino group of arginine is protonated, the double-bonded nitrogen is the nitrogen that accepts the proton. There is a scheme of a reversible reaction, where one equivalent of the reactant reacts with two equivalents of H plus"
We have to take into account the structure of the amino acid arginine. In which, we have the amino and the carboxylic groups in the right and the guanidine group in the left.
In this group, we have a central carbon with three nitrogen atoms around and a double bond with the nitrogen on the top. This nitrogen on the top will accept the proton because the structure produced will have a positive charge on this nitrogen. Then, the double bond with the carbon can be delocalized into the nitrogen producing a positive charge in the carbon.
In this structure (the carbocation), we can have several resonance structures. In the blue option, we can produce a double bond with the nitrogen on the right. In the purple option, we can produce a double bond with the nitrogen on the left.
In conclusion, if the nitrogen in the top on the guanidine group accepts an hydrogen atom and we will have several resonance structures that can stabilize the molecule. Due to this, the nitrogen in the top its the best option to accept hydrogens.

g Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. A researcher took 2.592 g of a certain compound containing only carbon and hydrogen and burned it completely in pure oxygen. All the carbon was changed to 7.851 g of CO2, and all the hydrogen was changed to 4.018 g of H2O . What is the empirical formula of the original compound
Answers
Answer:
Empirical formula is: C₂H₅
Explanation:
The chemical equation of burning of a compound that conatins only Carbon and Hydrogen is:
CₓHₙ + O₂ → XCO₂ + n/2H₂O
That means the moles of CO₂ produced are the moles of Carbon in the compound and moles of hydrogen are twice moles of water. Empirical formula is the simplest ratio between moles of each element in the compound. Thus, finding molse of C and moles of H we can find empirical formula:
Moles C and H:
Moles C = Moles CO₂:
7.851g CO₂ ₓ (1mol / 44g) = 0.1784 moles CO₂ = Moles C
Moles H = 2 Moles H₂O
4.018g H₂O ₓ (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.2231 * 2 = 0.4417 moles H
Ratio C:H
The ratio between moles of hydrogen and moles of Carbon are:
0.4417 moles H / 0.1784 moles C = 2.5
That means there are 2.5 moles of H per mole of Carbon. As empirical formula must be given only in whole numbers,

Answers
Answer:
THE VOLUME OF THE OXYGEN GAS AFTER DEFLATION TILL A PRESSURE OF 735 TORR IS ATTAINED IS 7836.99 L
Explanation:
Using Boyle's law,
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = 150 atm
V1 = 50 L
P2 = 735 Torr
V2 = unknown
We must first convert the pressures into the same SI unit for easy calculation
1torr = 1/760 atm
So converting 735 torr to atm; we have:
1 torr = 1/ 760 atm
735 torr = 735 * 1 / 760 atm
= 0.967 atm
In other words, P2 = 0.957 atm
So rearranging the formula by making V2 the subject of the equation, we have:
V2 = P1 V1 / P2
V2 = 150 * 50 / 0.957
V2 = 7836.99 L
The volume of the oxygen cylinder after deflation to a final pressure of 735 torr or 0.967 atm pressure is 7836.99 L.

What volume (in mL) needs to be added to 69.6 mL of 0.0887 M MgF2 solution to make a 0.0224 M MgF2 solution
Answers
Answer:
The correct answer is 206 ml.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the molarity or M₁ of MgF₂ solution is 0.0887 M, the molarity or M₂ of the final solution given is 0.0224 M. The initial volume of V₁ of the solution is 69.6 ml, for finding the final volume of V₂ of the solution, the formula to be used is,
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
Now putting the values in the formula we get,
0.0887 × 69.6 = 0.0224 M × V₂
V₂ = 0.0887 × 69.6 / 0.0224
V₂ = 275.6 ml
Therefore, the volume in ml added to the initial volume of 69.6 ml to make the molarity of the solution 0.0224 will be,
= 275.6 ml - 69.6 ml = 206 ml
The tosylate of (2R,3S)-3-phenylbutan-2-ol undergoes an E2 elimination on treatment with sodium ethoxide. Draw the structure of the alkene that is produced.
Answers
Answer:
(R)-but-3-en-2-ylbenzene
Explanation:
In this reaction, we have a very strong base (sodium ethoxide). This base, will remove a hydrogen producing a double bond. We know that the reaction occurs through an E2 mechanism, therefore, the hydrogen that is removed must have an angle of 180º with respect to the leaving group (the "OH"). This is known as the anti-periplanar configuration.
The hydrogen that has this configuration is the one that placed with the dashed bond (red hydrogen). In such a way, that the base will remove this hydrogen, the "OH" will leave the molecule and a double bond will be formed between the methyl and the carbon that was previously attached to the "OH", producing the molecule (R) -but-3- en-2-ylbenzene.

Answers
Answer:
0.0002 M
Explanation:
The molarity of the HCl required would be 0.0002 M.
First, let us consider the balanced equation of the reaction:
[tex]Na_2C_2O_4 + 2HCl = 2NaCl + H_2 + 2CO_2[/tex]
Stoichiometrically, 1 mole of [tex]Na_2C_2O_4[/tex] reacts with 2 moles of [tex]HCl[/tex] for a complete neutralization reaction.
Recall that: mole = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]
Mole of 0.550 g sodium oxalate = 0.550/134 = 0.0041 mole
If 1 mole [tex]Na_2C_2O_4[/tex] requires 2 moles HCl, then 0.0041 mole will require:
0.0041 x 2 = 0.0082 mole HCl
Volume of the HCl = 40.95 L
Molarity = mole/volume
Hence, molarity of the HCl = 0.0082/40.95 = 0.0002 M
Determine whether the following statement about reaction rates is true or false. If the statement is false, select the reason why?
Increasing the temperature of a reaction system decreases the activation energy of the reaction.
Answers
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Reaction rates is a field under chemical kinetics that deals with the measure of speed of a chemical reaction. It is the change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.
Activation Energy is a theory been put forward to explain why different chemical reactions proceed at different rates.
Activation Energy theory postulates that for a reactant to transform into a product , the colliding particles or molecules of the reactant must possess a certain amount of energy so as to overcome the reaction barrier.
An important factor which may influence the attainment of activation energy by colliding particles of reactants is the temperature at which the reaction is carried out. The higher the temperature, the greater is the fraction of the reactant particles which possess the activation energy and thus the faster the reaction becomes. SO , in essence increasing the temperature of a reaction system do not decreases the activation energy of the reaction but rather also increases the activation energy of the reaction.

C -2x +2x +x
E 0.143-2x 2x x
Step 4: Find the value of x
The equilibrium concentration of NOBr(g) was 0.108 M. Then,
0.143-2x = 0.108
x = 0.0175
Step 5: Calculate the concentrations at equilibrium
[NOBr] = 0.108 M
[NO] = 2x = 0.0350 M
[Br₂] = x = 0.0175 M
Step 6: Calculate the equilibrium constant (Kc)
Kc = [0.0350]² × [0.0175] / [0.108]²

A 10.00-mL aliquot of vinegar requires 16.95 mL of the 0.4874 M standardized NaOH solution to reach the end point of the titration. Demonstrate how to calculate the molarity of the vinegar solution (HC2H3O2). Show complete work below. Answer: 0.8261 M.
Answers
Answer:
0.8261 M.
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:
HC2H3O2 + NaOH —> NaC2H3O2 + H2O
From the balanced equation above, we obtained the following:
Mole ratio of the acid, HC2H3O2 (nA) = 1
Mole ratio of the base, NaOH (nB) = 1
Data obtained from the question include the following:
Volume of acid, HC2H3O2 (Va) = 10 mL
Molarity of acid, HC2H3O2 (Ma) =..?
Volume of base, NaOH (Vb) = 16.95 mL Molarity of base, NaOH (Mb) = 0.4874 M
Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the acid solution, as follow:
MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB
Ma x 10 / 0.4874 x 16.95 = 1
Cross multiply
Ma x 10 = 0.4874 x 16.95
Divide both side by 10
Ma = (0.4874 x 16.95) /10
Ma = 0.8261 M.
Therefore, the molarity of the vinegar solution (HC2H3O2) is 0.8261 M.
what volume in liters of carbon monoxide will be required to produce 18.9 L of nitrogen in the reaction below
2co(g) + 2no(g) -> n2(g) + 2co2(g)
Answers
Answer:
37.8 L OF CARBON MONOXIDE IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 18.9 L OF NITROGEN.
Explanation:
Equation for the reaction:
2 CO + 2 NO ------> N2 + 2 CO2
2 moles of carbon monoxide reacts with 2 moles of NO to form 1 mole of nitrogen
At standard temperature and pressure, 1 mole of a gas contains 22.4 dm3 volume.
So therefore, we can say:
2 * 22.4 L of CO produces 22.4 L of N2
44.8 L of CO produces 22.4 L of N2
Since, 18.9 L of Nitrogen is produced, the volume of CO needed is:
44.8 L of CO = 22.4 L of N
x L = 18.9 L
x L = 18.9 * 44.8 / 22.4
x L = 18.9 * 2
x = 37.8 L
The volume of Carbon monoxide required to produce 18.9 L of N2 is 37.8 L

Answers
Answer:
Entropy change of ice changing to water at 0°C is equal to 57.1 J/K
Explanation:
When a substance undergoes a phase change, it occurs at constant temperature.
The entropy change Δs, is given by the formula below;
Δs = q/T
where q is the quantity of heat absorbed or evolved in Joules and T is temperature in Kelvin at which the phase change occur
From the given data, T = 0°C = 273.15 K, q = 15.6 KJ = 15600 J
Δs = 15600 J / 273.15 K
Δs = 57.111 J/K
Therefore, entropy change of ice changing to water at 0°C is equal to 57.1 J/K
The entropy change of ice changing to water will be "57.1 J/K".
Entropy changeThe shift in what seems like a thermodynamic system's condition of confusion is caused by the transformation of heat as well as enthalpy towards activity. Entropy seems to be greater mostly in a network with a high quantity or measure of chaos.
According to the question,
Temperature, T = 0°C or,
= 273.15 K
Heat, q = 15.6 KJ or,
= 15600 J
We know the formula,
Entropy change, Δs = [tex]\frac{q}{T}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{15600}{273.15}[/tex]
= 57.11 J/K
Thus the above answer is correct.

carbon dioxide(g) → carbon dioxide(s)
There is a change in state from gas to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
water freezes
There is a change in state from liquid to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than liquid particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
propanol (g, at 555 K) → propanol (g, at 400 K)
Temperature is directly proportional to entropy, this means higher temperature leads t higher entropy.
This reaction highlights a drop in temperature which means a negative change in entropy.
methyl alcohol condenses
Condensation is the change in state from gas to liquid. Liquid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
When balancing redox reactions under basic conditions in aqueous solution, the first step is to:________.
a. balance oxygen
b. balance hydrogen
c. balance the reaction as though under acidic conditions
d. none of the above
Answers
Answer:
When balancing redox reactions under basic conditions in aqueous solution, the first step is to balance oxygen.
Explanation:
Oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions are those in which an electron transfer occurs between the reagents. An electron transfer implies that there is a change in the number of oxidation between the reagents and the products.
The gain of electrons is called reduction and the loss of electrons oxidation. That is to say, there is oxidation whenever an atom or group of atoms loses electrons (or increases its positive charges) and in the reduction an atom or group of atoms gains electrons, increasing its negative charges or decreasing the positive ones.
The oxidation and reduction half-reactions, in a basic medium, adjust the oxygens and hydrogens as follows:
In the member of the half-reaction that presents excess oxygen, you add as many water molecules as there are too many oxygen. Then, in the opposite member, the necessary hydroxyl ions are added to fully adjust the half-reaction. Normally, twice as many hydroxyl ions, OH-, are required as water molecules have previously been added.
In short, you first adjust the oxygens with OH-, then you adjust the H with H₂O, and finally you adjust the charge with e-
So, when balancing redox reactions under basic conditions in aqueous solution, the first step is to balance oxygen.
Answer:
c. balance the reaction as though under acidic conditions
Explanation:
When balancing redox reactions under basic conditions, a good technique is to first balance the reaction as though under acidic conditions. We then adjust the result to reflect the basic conditions.

The complete question is:
When methane is burned with oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. If you produce 9 grams of water and 11 grams of carbon dioxide from 16 grams of oxygen, how many grams of methane were needed for the reaction?
Answer: 4 grams of methane were needed for the reaction
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
{tex]CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]
Given: mass of oxygen = 16 g
Mass of carbon dioxide = 11 g
Mass of water = 9 g
Mass of products = Mass of carbon dioxide + mass of water = 11 g +9 g = 20 g
Mass or reactant = mass of methane + mass of oxygen = mass of methane + 16 g
As mass of reactants = mass of products
mass of methane + 16 g= 20 g
mass of methane = 4 g
Thus 4 grams of methane were needed for the reaction
Describe the similarities between H3O and NH3. Compare/contrast their shapes and polarities within the context of your answer. These molecules are called isoelectronic. Why
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
[tex]H_3O^+[/tex] also known as hydronium ion is formed as a result of the reaction between an hydrogen proton and a water molecules.
i.e [tex]\mathtt{H^+ + H_2O \to H_3O^+}[/tex]
(molecular geometry for the hydronium ion shows that the lewis structure of hydronium ion possess a three hydrogen ion bonded to a central atom known as oxygen. The oxygen possess a lone pair with a positive ion. So we have three hydrogen atoms and a lone pair attached to the oxygen. We can now say that there are four groups as the steric number in which one of them is a lone pair. This give rise to the trigonal pyramidal shape of the [tex]H_3O^+[/tex] (hydronium ion) with a bond angle of about 109,5°
Similarly, [tex]NH_3[/tex] on the other hand also known as ammonia has a shape that can be also determined by the Lewis structure.
IN ammonia, there are three hydrogen and a lone pairs of electron spreading out as far away from each other from the centre nitrogen. In essence, the valence shell electron pair around hydrogens tend to repel each other. Hence, giving it a trigonal pyramidal shape.
From above the similarities between H3O and NH3 is in their molecular geometry in which both H3O and NH3 have the same shape.
These molecules are called isoelectronic. Why?
Isoelectronic molecules are molecules having the same number of electrons and same electronic configuration structure. As a result H3O and NH3 possess the same number of electrons in the same orbitals and they also posses the same structure.
A reaction mechanism has the following proposed elementary steps:Step 1: A → B + CStep 2: A + B → DStep 3: 2 A + D → C + EIf Step 2 is the rate-limiting step, what would the proposed rate law for this mechanism be?
Answers
Answer: [tex]Rate=k[A][B][/tex]
Explanation:
Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.
Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.
For reactions which takes place in multiple steps are complex reactions and the order is given by the slowest step which is the rate limiting step.
For the given reaction, the rate limiting step is
[tex]A+B\rightarrow D[/tex]
Rate law will be , [tex]Rate=k[A][B][/tex]
The heat of vaporization of water is 40.66 kJ/mol. How much heat is absorbed when 3.11 g of water boils at atmospheric pressure?
Answers
Answer:
The amount of heat that is absorbed when 3.11 g of water boils at atmospheric pressure is 7.026 kJ.
Explanation:
A molar heat of vaporization of 40.66 kJ / mol means that 40.66 kJ of heat needs to be supplied to boil 1 mol of water at its normal boiling point.
To know the amount of heat that is absorbed when 3.11 g of water boils at atmospheric pressure, the number of moles represented by 3.11 g of water is necessary. Being:
H: 1 g/moleO: 16 g/molethe molar mass of water is:
H₂O= 2* 1 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 18 g/mole
So: if 18 grams of water are contained in 1 mole, 3.11 grams of water in how many moles are present?
[tex]moles of water=\frac{3.11 grams*1 mole}{18 gramos}[/tex]
moles of water= 0.1728
Finally, the following rule of three can be applied: if to boil 1 mole of water at its boiling point it is necessary to supply 40.66 kJ of heat, to boil 0.1728 moles of water, how much heat is necessary to supply?
[tex]heat=\frac{0.1728 moles*40.66 kJ}{1 mole}[/tex]
heat= 7.026 kJ
The amount of heat that is absorbed when 3.11 g of water boils at atmospheric pressure is 7.026 kJ.
