yellow colorless red colorless


Refer to the equilibrium shown above. Adding a couple of drops of an aqueous KCl solution will __________.

A) turn the solution less red
B) turn the solution clear
C) turn the solution red
D) have no effect on the color

6.

Which interaction is not used to maintain the tertiary structure of the protein?

A) hydrogen bonds
B) metallic bonds
C) disulfide bridges
D) salt bridges

7.

Amino acids combine to form polypetide by a reaction called __________.

A) oxidation
B) hydrolysis
C) condensation
D) redictopm

8.

A) an electron capture
B) an alpha emission
C) a neutron capture
D) an electron release

Explanation / Answer

5. C) turn the solution red

A deep red solution is formed when yellow FeCl3(aq) is mixed with colorless KSCN(aq).
The equation is

FeCl3(aq) + 3KSCN(aq) ? Fe(SCN)3(aq) + 3KCl(aq)

The red product is called iron(lll)thiocyanate

7.C) condensation
