Classify each amino acid according to whether its side chain is predominantly protonated or deprotonated at a pHpH of 7.40.7.40.

The pKapKa values of the Asp, His, and Lys side chains are 3.65, 6.00, and 10.53,3.65, 6.00, and 10.53, respectively.

Answer: His and Lys are deprotonated but Asp will be protonated.

Explanation:

As the pH is given as 7.4 and pK of His is given as 6.00. There will occur a positive charge on His when it's pH < pK therefore, it is neutral at the given pH.

As the pK value of Lys is 10.53 that is greater than the pH of 7.40. Therefore, charge on Lys is positive.

As the pK value of Asp is 3.65 which is less than the pH value of 7.40. Hence, Asp has a negative charge.

Therefore, we can conclude that His and Lys are deprotonated but Asp will be protonated.

Write an equation to show how HC2O4− can act as a base with HS− acting as an acid.
Artyom0805 [142]

An acid donates H^{+} ion in aqueous solution. A base accepts H^{+} ion in aqueous solution.

The equation representing the acid base reaction of HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} and HS^{-}:

HC_{2}O_{4}^{-}(aq) + HS^{-}(aq) ----> H_{2}C_{2}O_{4}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)

In the above reaction, as HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} acts as a base it is accepting the hydrogen ion from HS^{-}. Similarly, HS^{-} donates its hydrogen ion to HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} acting as an acid.

Answer:

Without dark matter galaxies would loose an extreme amount of gas required to create stars.

Without dark matter the universe wont have as many galaxies clumped together forming larger versions of those galaxies. This would cause a change in the structure of the "skeleton" of the web.

mastering chem If the experiment below is run for 60 s, 0.16 mol A remain. Which of the following statements is or are true? At
Dvinal [7]

Answer: All of the statements are true.

Explanation:

(a) Considering the system mentioned in the equation:-

The sum of total moles in the flask will always be equal to 1 which leads to confirmation of this statement as for 60 secs= 0.16 mol A and 0.84 mol B

(b) 0<t< 20s,  mole A got reduced from 1 mole to 0.54 moles while at 40s to 60s A got decreased from 0.30 moles to 0.16 moles.

0 to 20s is 0.46 (1 - 0.54 = 0.46)mol whereas,

40 to 60s is 0.14 (0.30-.16 = 0.14) mol

(0.46 > 0.14) mol leading this statement to be true as well.

(c) Average rate from t1 = 40 to t2 = 60 s is given by:

\delta moles/\delta time  = 0.30-0.16/60-40 = 0.007 Mol/s which is true as well

A student is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. He weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a
Nata [24]

Answer:

There are present 5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.

Explanation:

The mass of CuSO₄ anhydrous is:

23,403g - 22,652g = 0,751g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159,609g/mol. The moles are:

0,751g ×\frac{1mol}{159,609g} = 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄

Now, the mass of water present in the initial sample is:

23,875g - 0,751g - 22,652g = 0,472g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄hydrate - CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of H₂O is 18,02g/mol. The moles are:

0,472g ×\frac{1mol}{18,02g} = 2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O

The ratio of moles H₂O:CuSO₄ is:

2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O / 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄ = 5,5668

That means that you have <em>5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.</em>

I hope it helps!
