Deduce the polypeptide sequence that generated the following results: a) acid hydrolysis: (Ala2 , Arg , Lys2 , Met, Phe, Ser2); b) Carboxypeptidase A digestion: Ala; c) Trypsin digestion: (Ala, Arg) (Lys, Phe, Ser) (Lys) (Ala, Met, Ser) d) cyanogen bromide treatment: (Ala, Arg, Lys2 , Met, Phe, Ser) (Ala, Ser) e) thermolysine digestion: (Ala) (Ala, Arg, Ser) (Lys2 , Met, Phe, Ser)

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.

is there multiple choice answers?

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
