System used to measure the strength of acids and bases?
Numbers are used. Numbers 1-6 are acids, number 7 is neutral, and numbers 8-14 are bases.
What numbers on the pH scale represent acids?
All numbers below 7. Acidity increases with decreasing number, for example, 1 is the most acidic.
What is the pH rangr for acids bases?
The pH range for acids is 0-6.9, with lower numbers indicating stronger acidity. The pH range for bases is 7.1-14, with higher numbers indicating stronger basicity. A pH of 7 is considered neutral.
How many amino acids are used in the synthesis of body protein?
They have varying numbers, as different amino acids form different polypetide chains, which form different amino acids in the way they become folded to suit their function
What chemical symbol represents an acid?
There is no particular symbol for acids. Different acids have different formulae. But sometimes to show that a reaction is taking place in acidic medium, the sign of H+ is used because all acids give H+ ion.
Using the pH scale what numbers indicate an acid What numbers indicate a base?
pH numbers below 7 indicate an acid, with lower numbers indicating stronger acids. pH numbers above 7 indicate a base, with higher numbers indicating stronger bases.
Why the melting point of carboxylic acids with even carbon number are greater than odd carbon number carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids with even carbon numbers tend to pack more efficiently in the solid state due to the symmetrical arrangement of molecules, leading to stronger intermolecular forces like van der Waals interactions. This results in higher melting points compared to carboxylic acids with odd carbon numbers that have a less compact packing arrangement and weaker intermolecular forces.
Is hydrogen in fatty acids?
Hydrogen is present in fatty acids in the form of alkyl chains, which are long hydrocarbon chains connected to a carboxylic acid group. Fatty acids may contain varying numbers of hydrogen atoms depending on their structure and degree of saturation.
Consequences of proteins containing different numbers and different types of amino acids?
Proteins with different numbers and types of amino acids will have varying structures and functions due to differences in their sequence. This can impact protein folding, stability, and interactions with other molecules. Changes in amino acid composition can also affect protein solubility, enzymatic activity, and overall biological activity.
On the pH scale do the numbers below 7 refer to acids or bases?
A pH under 7 is typical for acidic solutions.
What is the minimum number of amino acids in protein?
there is only 20 amin acid in our bodies but we only use 11 of them
Structurally how do omega-3 fatty acids differ from omega-6 fatty acids?
Like many organic compounds, the names of fatty acids such as omega-6 and omega-3 contain numbers that are used to describe the position of certain features of the molecule. In the case of omega fatty acids, the numbers 3 and 6 tell where the final carbon-carbon double bond is located. The numbers tell how many carbon-carbon bonds away from the carboxyl group this bond is. Omega-6 fatty acids are generally regarded as unhealthy when eaten in larger quantities than omega-3 fatty acids because they interfere with the omega-3's functions in the body.
