Concept Introduction:
The organic compound that is composed of amino group and carboxylic group along with an organic chain is known as amino acid.
The intermediate formed during metabolism process is termed as metabolic intermediate.
(b)
Interpretation:
The metabolic intermediate formed from the atoms of carbon of aspartic acid should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compound that is composed of amino group and carboxylic group along with an organic chain is known as amino acid.

- In galvanic cells, their potential1. can be measured with a potentiometer2. does not depend on the equilibrium constant of the reaction occurring within them3. is only calculated from the normal potentials of the electrodes they comprise4. can sometimes be considered a variation in a potential differencearrow_forwardIf some molecules in an excited state collide with other molecules in a ground state, this process1. can occur in solution and in the gas phase.2. can be treated as a bimolecular process.3. always results in collisional deactivation.4. does not compete with any other process.arrow_forwardRadiation of frequency v is incident on molecules in their ground state. The expected outcome is that1. the molecules do not change their state.2. the molecules transition to an excited state.3. the molecules undergo a secondary process.4. collisional deactivation occurs.arrow_forward

- pleasearrow_forwardplease help me please pleasearrow_forwardUsing reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition Consider the following equilibrium: N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) = 2NH3 (g) AG⁰ = -34. KJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 8.06 atm of nitrogen (N2) and 2.58 atm of ammonia (NH3) at 106. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: ? rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of N2 tend to rise or fall? ☐ x10 fall Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding H₂? In other words, if you said the pressure of N2 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding H₂? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N2 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding H₂? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of H₂ needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. yes no ☐ atm ☑ 5 00. 18 Ararrow_forward
