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.

Liquid carbon disulfide (CS2) reacts with 44.8 L O2 gas to produce the gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). What
erik [133]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

CS2 + 3O2 = CO2 + 2SO2

First, we assume that the gases here are ideal and that the reaction is done at STP so that 22.4 L of the gas is equal to 1 mol. We use the reaction and the relation of the substances to calculate what is asked. 

44.8 L (1 mol / 22.4 L) (1 mol CO2 / 2 mol SO2) (44.01 g / mol) = 44.01 g CO2

What are the respective central-metal oxidation state, coordination number, and overall charge on the complex ion in Na2[Cr(NH3)
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Central-metal oxidation state: +2

Coordination number: 6

Overall charge: -2

Explanation:

In the ion complex:

Na₂[Cr(NH₃)₂(NCS)₄]

The central-metal is Cr, the ligands are NH₃ and NCS.

The NH₃ is a neutral ligand, while NCS is an anionic ligand with -1 in charge.

The overall charge of the complex is:

2Na⁺ +  [Cr(NH₃)₂(NCS)₄]⁻² → <em>-2</em>

As NCS gives -1 in charge and there are four NCS, The Cr must be in <em>+2</em> of oxidation state to give an overall charge of -2.

As Cr is bonded to 2 NH₃ and 4 NCS, the coordination number is 2+4 = <em>6</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!
