Date POLYMERS Prelaboratory Assignment 1. Which part of this experiment must be performed under a fume hood? 2. Amino acids are the monomeric units that make up proteins. The reaction which joins amino acids is similar to the reaction used in the preparation of nylon. Two amino acids are shown below. Show the molecule that would result by joining the two amino acids shown below. CH, 0
Part A of experiment:
Working in the fume hood, combine 4.0 mL of 10% NaOH solution
and 4 mL EtOH in a 50 mL round bottom flask.
Dissolve 1.0 mL (8.6 mmol) of acetophenone into your
solution.
Add 1.0 mL (9.8 mmol) of benzaldehyde and a magnetic stir bar to
your flask. Clamp the flask
above a stir plate.
Monitor the reaction for 45 minutes by TLC. Acetophenone needs
to be diluted prior to TLC, and
cannot be spotted neat....

sure if im on thr right track and stuck on 13 and 14
PART III: ARE BIOPOLYMERS FORMED THE SAME WAY? REACTIONS OF AMINO ACIDS In Part I, you looked at reactions between difunctional acids and amines to form the amide bond found in polymers such as nylon. In Part II, you explored reactions between alcohols and carboxylic acids to form esters and polyesters. In this section, you will be applying what you learned to biopolymers such as proteins....
1 Proteins are long chains of amino acids. There are 4 parts to each amino acid. Which part is responsible for structural variation in proteins? The side chain The carboxylic acid group The amino group The alpha carbon 2. Why is it important to examine the shapes of complex biological molecules and drugs? All of the choices given So scientists can explain biochemical reactions So scientists can design medications So scientists can determine how molecules fit together 3. Determine the...

Yes No Question 1 (0.5 points) What is a protein? A polymer...
Imagine a biochemistry lab is testing out a new procedure to improve the synthesis of a dipeptide molecule made with the amino acids Valine and Threonine. The hypothesis is that acid as a catalyst will improve the condensation reaction between the amino acids and create a greater yield of a dipeptide (molecule formed with these two amino acids). The procedure compares the result of 10 samples using the common older procedure (A) to ten samples using the newer acid synthesis...
I only need answer to 4
4- Which is stronger - the bond between water molecules or the bond between the two amino acids (formed from the dehydration synthesis above)? Explain why? (2pt) Imagine a biochemistry lab is testing out a new procedure to improve the synthesis of a dipeptide molecule made with the amino acids Valine and Threonine. The hypothesis is that acid as a catalyst will improve the condensation reaction between the amino acids and create a greater...
PRE-LAB QUIZ for EXPERIMENT 27 Name 1. In Experiment 27, a modified Perkin reaction is performed. The Perkin reaction is a carbonyl condensation reaction that is related to the Claisen condensation and aldol condensation. In this experiment, the reactants are benzaldehyde and 3-benzoylpropionic acid with sodium acetate and acetic anhydride as catalysts. Draw the structures of these compounds in the space below. benzaldehyde 3-benzoylpropionic acid acetic anhydride 2. The first step of the reaction is the formation of the mixed...
