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.

Wine has a pH of 3, which means it is __________ times more acidic than tomatoes, which have a pH of 4.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,  

pH = - log [H⁺]

Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.

Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4  

Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3

3 = - log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M

For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M

<u>hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4</u>

A gas that has a volume of 28 liters, a temperature of 45C, And an unknown pressure has its volume increased to 34 liters and it
patriot [66]

Answer:

P1 = 2.5ATM

Explanation:

V1 = 28L

T1 = 45°C = (45 + 273.15)K = 318.15K

V2 = 34L

T2 = 35°C = (35 + 273.15)K = 308.15K

P1 = ?

P2 = 2ATM

applying combined gas equation,

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

P1*V1*T2 = P2*V2*T1

Solving for P1

P1 = P2*V2*T1 / V1*T2

P1 = (2.0 * 34 * 318.15) / (28 * 308.15)

P1 = 21634.2 / 8628.2

P1 = 2.5ATM

The initial pressure was 2.5ATM

. A saturated solution of Ag2SO4 at 25°C contains 0.032 M Ag+ ions. From this information, estimate the ΔG°rxn for the dissoluti
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

20 kJ/mol

Explanation:

From ∆G°= -RTlnK

But

Ag2SO4(s)<----------->2Ag+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)

Ksp= [2Ag+]^2 [SO4^2-]

But Ag+ = 0.032M

Ksp= (2×0.032)^2 (0.032)

Ksp= 1.31072×10^-4

∆G°= -RTlnK

∆G°= -(8.314× 298×(-8.93976))= 20KJmol-1( to the nearest KJ)

What features of this model will help Armando answer the question?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The adjustable legs and the table of sand.

<em>Note:The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below.</em>

Using Models to Answer Questions About Systems

Armando’s class was looking at images of rivers formed by flowing water. Most of the rivers were wide and shallow, but one river was narrow and deep. Armando’s class thinks that this river is narrow and deep because:

  • the hill that the water flowed down was very steep, or
  • the sand grains that the water flowed through were very small.

Armando designed the model below to try to answer the question: Why is this river so narrow and deep?

Explanation:

The model designed by Armando will be helpful to answer the question because of the following features it possesses:

1. An adjustable leg- since one of the hypotheses put forward by the class to explain why the river was narrow and deep was that the hill that the water flowed down was very steep, the adjustable legs can be lowered or raised in order to make the slope shallower or steeper so that their hypothesis can be tested.

2. A table of sand- the table of sand serves as the streambed. By adjusting the size of the sand grains to be larger or smaller, the students will be able to to test their second hypothesis that the small size sand grains that the water flowed through was the reason for the river to be narrow and deep.

The results of their experiments will enable them to come to a conclusion.
