The thing i don't get is why are we taking the lost water molecules to be 3, coz when 3 amino acids link, only 2 water molecules are released, not 3, as per my understanding......

This is an extract from the ms for this qn.

iridium has two isotopes of mass numbers 191 and 193 and its average relative atomic mass is 192.23. calculate the relative abundances of the two isotopes... can anyone solve it the answers are 61.5%for 193 and 38.5% for 191 well i did get these answers via substitution can anyone solve it by any other means

I'll try to solve the other questions tomorrow if u don't mind.

heya tx a million sis, um for part i) though, the answer is G>E>F and part ii) only G reacts with Na2CO3 to produce effervescence
and with NaOH E and G both dissolve.

i kinda reasoned out stuff the same way you did above, but as i mentioned above the ms states otherwise:/ :(

and about the second qn, my exam is tomorrow:( don't want to bother you, but if it's possible and you can do it today, i'd be really really grateful:)
tx again:)

can anyone ans this for me....?
1)explain why hydrogen is evolved more slowly from methanoic acid solution than a HCL solution?
2)explain why, eventually,the methanoic acid sol produces as much hydrogen as the HCL solution?
add data given: Methanoic acid and hcl both are being reacted to an excess of Magnesium powder .
For a fixed amount of Mg, the rate equation for the reaction is:
rate= k [H+(aq)]
the paper:http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/...d AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_w03_qp_4.pdf

question is 2

I have a question from May June 2008 PAPER 5 Q2 part f, i don't get how to draw these lines do we need to find the value and which x and y values to take? can someone plz explain.

f)Draw construction lines on the graph to derive values to enable you to calculate

the relative formula mass of the basic copper(II) carbonate and the value of x in
CuCO3.Cu(OH)2.xH2O.
Values read from graph, including units
x-axis ...................................................... y-axis ...........................................................
Calculation of the relative formula mass, Mr
[Ar: H, 1.0; C, 12.0; O, 16.0; Cu, 63.5]

Possibly, since the length of the chain affects what end products are produced. Ethanol and Methanol both compete for the enzyme 'Alcohol dehdryogenase' in the body, methanol forms formaldehyde whereas ethanol form acetaldhyde. Formaldehdy is poisonous implying that methanol is more toxic.

Balance this equation using the oxidation number method?

V3+ + I2 + H2O >>> VO2+ + I- + H+

I tried using the method but it kept stumping me, there's one step I seem to be getting wrong. I'd appreciate if someone were to show step by step how to balance it using the oxidation number method,

Thanks!
