Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Composition of Glycine

Glycine has the chemical formula \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NO}_{2}\). This means each mole of glycine contains:

  • 2 moles of Carbon (C)
  • 5 moles of Hydrogen (H)
  • 1 mole of Nitrogen (N)
  • 2 moles of Oxygen (O)
Step 2: Calculate the Available Moles of Each Element

From the table, the total moles of each element available in the flask are:

  • Carbon (C): 2 moles
  • Hydrogen (H): 120 moles
  • Oxygen (O): 58 moles
  • Nitrogen (N): 1 mole
  • Sulfur (S): 1 mole (not needed for glycine)
Step 3: Determine the Limiting Element

To find the maximum number of moles of glycine that can be formed, we need to determine which element is the limiting factor. We calculate the maximum possible moles of glycine based on each element:

  • For Carbon: \(\frac{2 \text{ moles of C}}{2 \text{ moles of C per glycine}} = 1 \text{ mole of glycine}\)
  • For Hydrogen: \(\frac{120 \text{ moles of H}}{5 \text{ moles of H per glycine}} = 24 \text{ moles of glycine}\)
  • For Oxygen: \(\frac{58 \text{ moles of O}}{2 \text{ moles of O per glycine}} = 29 \text{ moles of glycine}\)
  • For Nitrogen: \(\frac{1 \text{ mole of N}}{1 \text{ mole of N per glycine}} = 1 \text{ mole of glycine}\)

The limiting element is Nitrogen, which allows for only 1 mole of glycine to be formed.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{1 \text{ mole of glycine}} \]

Two long, straight wires are perpendicular to the plane of the paper and at a distance 0.3 m from each other, as shown in the figure. The wires carry currents of I₁=1.5 A and I₂=4.8 A in the direction indicated (out of the page). Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field (in μT) at a point A midway between the wires. You need to indicate the direction with a positive or a negative value for the magnetic field. Keep in mind that a vector is positive if directed to the right and negative if directed to the left on the x axis and it is positive if directed up and negative if directed down on the y axis. Your answer should be a number with two decimal places, do not include the unit.

Take Quiz Question 17 1 pts Skin color in humans is represented in geography by a cline, or clinal pattern. The skin color cline means that no patterns in skin color are visible in any regions of the world. people living at high altitudes will have a lighter skin color than those who live at sea level. all of the people living in one region will share the same skin color, and people living in another region will share a different skin color. a certain skin color may be more common in one region than another, but the variation is gradual and continuous. Question 18 1 pts Several groups of people, including the Chukchi of Eastern Siberia and Inuit of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland, have darker skin than other people living at similar latitudes. This is due to the high folate content of the diets of these groups. the low folate content of the diets of these groups. the high Vitamin D content of the diets of these groups. the low Vitamin D content of the diets of these groups. Question 19 1 pts The pressure on members of ethnic and immigrant minority groups to abandon their native customs, traditions, languages, and identities quickly and adopt those of mainstream society is the pressure of assimilation consumption amalgamation multiculturalism

Read the poem. from The Fugitive For once be careless, timid traveller. and utterly lose your way: wide-awake though you are, be like broad daylight enticed by and netted in mist. Do not shun the garden of Lost Hearts waiting at the end of the wrong road, where the grass is strewn with wrecked red flowers, and disconsolate water heaves in the troubled sea. Long have you watched over the store gathered by weary years. Let it be stripped, with nothing remaining but the desolate triumph of losing all. (from "The Fugitive" by Rabindranath Tagore) This question has two parts. Answer Part A, and then answer Part B. Part A What is the speaker's point of view about traveling? 1. Traveling may lead to feeling lonely and sad. 2. Appreciate both land and sea while traveling. 3. Embrace the discomfort that comes with traveling. 4. Traveling often brings about unforeseen problems. Part B Select two details from the poem that together best support the correct answer from Part A. 1. "For once be careless, timid traveller, / and utterly lose your way" (Lines 1-2) 2. "be like broad daylight / enticed by and netted in mist." (Lines 3-4) 3. "where the grass is strewn with / wrecked red flowers, and disconsolate / water heaves in the troubled sea." (Lines 7-9) 4. "Long have you watched over the / store gathered by weary years." (Lines 10-11) 5. "Let it / be stripped, with nothing remaining but / the desolate triumph of losing all." (Lines 11-13)
