The hydrophobic effect is one of the most important noncovalent forces directing the self-assembly of biomolecules in aqueous solution. The hydrophobic effect arises from tendencies of biomolecules (1) to arrange polar groups so that they interact with the aqueous environment by hydrogen bonding and (2) to arrange nonpolar groups so that they are shielded from the aqueous environment. Show how the hydrophobic effect is involved in directing the following. Q.) The formation of lipid bilayers by phospholipids

Phenylamine is an aromatic amine that is used in the manufacture of dyes. When absorbed through the skin itcauses the Fe+2 in hemoglobin to become oxidized into Fe+3, resulting in the formation of methemoglobin whichcannot bind to or transport oxygen. Phenylamine is soluble in water and acts as a weak base.C6H5NH2 (aq) + H2O (ℓ) ⇋ C6H5NH3+ (aq) + OH- (aq)a. When you measure the concentrations of the ionized substances you find them to be:[C6H5NH2] = 0.234 mol/L [C6H5NH3+] = 2.8 x 10-5 mol/L [OH-]= 2.8 x 10-5 mol/LIf the Kb is 4.27 x 10-10, is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, which direction does it need to move (rightor left) to reach equilibrium? Explain. b. At equilibrium the concentrations of the ionized substances are:[C6H5NH2] = 0.0537 mol/L [C6H5NH3+] = 4.79 x 10-6 mol/L [OH-]= 4.79 x 10-6 mol/LIf this reaction is taking place in a 2.0L container, and 1.5 moles of phenylamine were added to thereaction, what will the new concentrations of the three ionic species be when…

Aspirin is a weak acid with a pk, of 3.5. It is absorbed into the blood through the cells lining the stomach and the small intestine. Absorption requires passage through the plasma membrane, the rate of which is determined by the polarity of the molecule, charged and polar molecules tend to pass more slowly, whereas neutral hydrophobic molecules pass rapidly. The pH of the stomach contents is about 1.5, and the pH of the contents of the small intestine is about 6. Is the aspirin absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach or the small intestine? Clearly justify your choice. ОН Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin)
