Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The enthalpy
The reaction between two molecules of glycine to form peptide linkage is,
Figure 1
The enthalpy of the reaction is calculated by using the formula,
In the given reaction shown in Figure 1 bonds are broken and formed during peptide formation and energy is absorbed and released. The bond energies are shown in (Table 3-3) respectively.
Therefore, the energy required to break the bonds is calculated as,
Similarly, the energy released when the bonds are formed are calculated as,
Therefore, the total enthalpy for the reaction is calculated by using the formula,
Hence, the total enthalpy of formation for the reaction of two molecules of glycine to form a peptide linkage is positive. It is an endothermic reaction.

To determine: The entropy
Answer to Problem 130AE
Answer
The entropy
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The entropy
The reaction between two molecules of glycine to form a peptide linkage is found to be an endothermic process because of the positive value of enthalpy. In the system an endothermic process absorbs heat from the surrounding and therefore, decreases the entropy of the surrounding because the molecular motion in the surrounding decreases. Therefore, for the given reaction
(c)

To determine: The formation of proteins is a spontaneous process or not.
Answer to Problem 130AE
Answer
Formation of proteins is a non-spontaneous process.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The formation of proteins is a non-spontaneous process.
The formation of proteins occurs when large numbers of amino acids are joined through peptide linkage. The formation of peptide linkage is a non-spontaneous process as stated above due to the negative value of
