In the photo is some asparagus from the grocery store. Note there is a blue rubber band around the asparagus. Explain what would happen to the stress in the rubber band over time if I remove the rubber band to eat half of my asparagus, then stretch it back over the asparagus (this moment of removing the rubber band from the asparagus is t = 0) and (a) leave the asparagus on my kitchen counter or (b) put my asparagus back in the fridge which is malfunctioning and operating at a temperature of -20°C. Draw a diagram to show the stress values over time throughout the process and be sure to explain why for each case (a) and (b).

Step 1
Step 1: When you remove the rubber band from the asparagus at t=0, the stress in the rubber band will decrease as it is no longer stretched. Show more…

The diagram (left) below shows the structure of the enzyme ribonuclease in its native form. The threedimensional protein structure is maintained in part by the disulfide bonds $(-S-S-)$ between the amino acid residues (each color sphere represents an $\mathrm{S}$ atom). Using certain denaturants, the compact structure is destroyed and the disulfide bonds are converted to sulfhydryl groups (-SH) shown on the right of the arrow. (a) Describe the bonding scheme in the disulfide bond in terms of hybridization. (b) Which amino acid in Table $25.2$ contains the - SH group? (c) Predict the signs of $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ for the denaturation process. If denaturation is induced by a change in temperature, show why a rise in temperature would favor denaturation. (d) The sulfhydryl groups can be oxidized (that is, removing the $\mathrm{H}$ atoms ) to form the disulfide bonds. If the formation of the disulfide bonds is totally random between any two - SH groups, what is the fraction of the regenerated protein structures that corresponds to the native form? (e) An effective remedy to deodorize a dog that has been sprayed by a skunk is to rub the affected areas with a solution of an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide. What is the chemical basis for this action? (Hint: An odiferous component of a skunk's secretion is 2 -butene- 1 -thiol, $\left.\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH}_{2} \mathrm{SH.}\right)$
Two weeks prior to final exams, 10 undergraduate students took part in an experiment to determine what effect the presence of a live plant, a photo of a plant, or the absence of a plant has on the students' ability to relax while isolated in a dimly lit room. Each student participated in three sessions: one with a live plant, one with a photo of a plant, and one with no plant (the control). Since increasing finger temperature indicates an increased level of relaxation, the maximum temperature (in degrees) during each session was determined for each student and used as the response variable. The temperatures under the three plant conditions for the 10 students are given in the accompanying table. Conduct an ANOVA and make the proper inferences at α = 0.10. Click the icon to view the table. Identify the test that should be performed: Test for differences in mean finger temperature among the different plant conditions. State the null and alternative hypotheses for this test: H0: At least two of the plant condition means are equal. Ha: At least two of the plant condition means differ. Use statistical software to conduct the ANOVA. Live Plant: 95.6 95.6 96.0 95.2 96.7 97.2 93.7 97.0 94.9 91.4 Photo of Plant: 96.6 96.0 96.2 95.7 94.8 93.5 96.7 95.4 90.5 96.6 No Plant: 92.6 94.8 97.2 84.6 95.5 96.6 96.2 95.8 96.6 Report the test statistic: F = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Report the p-value: p-value = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Make the proper inferences: There is sufficient evidence that at least two of the mean finger temperatures among the different plant conditions differ. If warranted, conduct Tukey's procedure to rank the means. Use an experimentwise error rate of α = 0.05. Choose the correct answer below. A. Live vs. Photo vs. No B. Photo vs. Live vs. No C. Photo vs. Live vs. No D. Live vs. No E. Photo vs. No F. Tukey's procedure is not warranted in this case.

Integrated Problems #5 Let's say that you decide to make mac and cheese for dinner. You start by filling a pot with 1.5 quarts of water that starts at 15 °C and bring it to a boil. As you wait for the water to boil you decide to use this time to study chemistry (because you are a great student) then you lose track of time and don't make it back to the stove until half of water has boiled away. At that time, you add 5 g of NaCl and 1 tsp of olive oil to the water. You then follow the rest of the directions to make dinner. Useful conversions: 1 qt = 946.353 mL, 1 tsp = 4.93 mL, dwater = 0.9985 g/mL. doil = 0.920 g/mL 1. Give all the intermolecular interactions that are possible in the "solution" you put the pasta in (neglect the interaction with the pasta). 2. When you add the salt, you notice that the boiling stops briefly, explain this observation in terms of vapor pressure and intermolecular forces. 3. Calculate the concentration (M) of salt the water. 4. If we assume that olive oil is 82% oleic acid (C18H34O2), calculate the concentration (M) of oleic acid in the pasta water. 5. If the oleic acid has a structural formula of CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH, use the Lewis structure to make some suggestions what in the pasta water the olive oil is going to interact with. And why the olive oil was added to the water? 6. Calculate the amount of heat that was transferred between when the water was put on the stove and when you continued making mac and cheese. 7. If we assume that the water vapor remains at 100 °C and the atmospheric pressure is 0.985 atm, what is the volume of steam (water vapor) did you add to your kitchen?
