) Many proteins become insoluble (denature and precipitate out of solution) 3. ( when they are heated. An example is what happens when you break an egg into boiling water. A biochemist was studying a protein produced by a bacterium that can grow in very hot water. He discovered that this protein would not precipitate in boiling water unless he added some B-mercaptoethanol (also known as 2- mercaptoethanol or BME). In the presence of BME, the protein precipitated readily. a. Explain how BME could make this protein more sensitive to the denaturing effect of heat. Be a good chemist in your explanation.

A student dissolved 4 drops of an unknown compound in 1 mL of methylene chloride (dichloromethane) in a test tube. They added 5 drops of a 2% solution of bromine in dichloromethane dropwise and mixed the contents within the test tube gently. They observed the red-brown color discharges (turns colorless) until the last drop. What compound is most likely the unknown? ©GMU 2020 Oa. Methanol b. Cyclohexane c. n-Butyl Bromide O d. Hex-2-ene COLE QUESTION 6 A student placed 2 drops of an unknown sample in a test tube and added 2 mL of ethanol to the test tube while mixing gently. They added 2 drops of potassium permanganate reagent to the test tube and mixed the contents of the test tube gently. The initial color was a deep purple but then changed to a yellow color which precipitates as a brown solid. What compound is most likely the unknown? OGMU 2020 a. Cyclopentane O b. Cyclohexene c. 1-Pentyl Chloride d. 2-Propanol SOUL QUESTION 7 A student performed the Beilstein test within a chemical…

I. List all the IMFS that are present in a pure sample of substance A below. The Lewis structure of a molecule is shown. H -C C-H | | H II. Draw one example of substance A acting as a H-bond donor with water. Make sure your H- bond starts and ends in the right places. If the molecule can't act as a H-bond donor, write "not possible." II. Draw one example of substance A acting as a H-bond acceptor with water. Make sure your H-bond starts and ends in the right places. If the molecule can't act as a H-bond acceptor, write "not possible." IV. List all the IMF that are present in a pure sample of substance B below. The Lewis structure of a molecule is shown. H H.

magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, found in milk of magnesia, has a solubility of 7.05x10-3 gL-1 at 25ºC. Calculate the Ksp for Mg(OH)2 with a tolerance of +8 (Please type answer)
The amino acids alanine (MW = 89.1 g/mol) and leucine (MW = 131.2 g/mol) have solubilities of water at room temperature that are reported to be 166 g/L and 24 g/L respectively. Calculate the molar solubilities of each of these compounds. Write the structure for each amino acid and explain the trend in molar solubility in terms of the structure of the two amino acids. Do you think that leucine would have the same or a different structure depending upon if it was dissolved in water or an organic solvent such as dichloromethane? Provide the structure(s) that you might expect along with a brief explanation.
. Consider the two molecules shown here. 1-butanol (1)- 7.3g/100ml and butyric acid (2)- miscible The solubilities of each in water is given. What is “solubility”? What does the solubility value given for (1) here mean? Please explain, based on their structures, why the solubility of (2) is greater than the solubility of (1) in water. For a complete answer, you should start with the types of IMFs involved in the different parts of the dissolving process. You should also use the kind of reasoning from class regarding the contributions…
