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.

Determine the specific heat (in J/g C) for a 2.508 kilogram substance which increases its temperature from 4.051 C to 42.061 C w
just olya [345]

Answer: 0.036 J/g°C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that,

Q = 3.42 Kilojoules

[Convert 3.42 kilojoules to joules

If 1 kilojoule = 1000 joules

3.42 kilojoules = 3.42 x 1000 = 3420J]

Mass = 2.508Kg

[Convert 2.508 kg to grams

If 1 kg = 1000 grams

2.508kg = 2.508 x 1000 = 2508g]

C = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 42.061°C - 4.051°C

= 38.01°C

Apply the formula, Q = MCΦ

3420J = 2508g x Z x 38.01°C

3420J = 95329.08g•°C x Z

Z = (3420J / 95329.08g•°C)

Z = 0.03588 J/g°C

Round the value of Z to the nearest thousandth, hence Z = 0.036 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat of the substance is 0.036 J/g°C

Phosphorous acid, H3PO3(aq), is a diprotic oxyacid that is an important compound in industry and agriculture. K pKa1 K pKa2 1.30
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

* Before addition of any KOH:

pH = 0,0301

*After addition of 25.0 mL KOH:

pH = 1,30

*After addition of 50.0 mL KOH:

pH = 2,87

*After addition of 75.0 mL KOH:

pH = 6,70

*After addition of 100.0 mL KOH:

pH = 10,7

Explanation:

H₃PO₃ has the following equilibriums:

H₃PO₃ ⇄ H₂PO₃⁻ H⁺

k = [H₂PO₃⁻] [H⁺] / [H₃PO₃] k = 10^-(1,30) <em>(1)</em>

H₂PO₃⁻ ⇄ HPO₃²⁻ + H⁺

k = [HPO₃²⁻] [H⁺] / [H₂PO₃⁻] k = 10^-(6,70) <em>(2)</em>

Moles of H₃PO₃ are:

0,0500L×(1,8mol/L) = 0,09 moles of H₃PO₃

* Before addition of any KOH:

Using (1), moles in equilibrium are:

H₃PO₃: 0,09-x

H₂PO₃⁻: x

H⁺: x

Replacing:

10^{-1.30} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

4.51x10⁻³ - 0.050x -x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.0466589

As volume is 0,050L

[H⁺] = 0.0466589moles / 0,050L = 0,933M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<em>pH = 0,0301</em>

*After addition of 25.0 mL KOH:

0,025L×1,8M = 0,045 moles of KOH that reacts with H₃PO₃ thus:

KOH + H₃PO₃ → H₂PO₃⁻ + H₂O

That means moles of KOH will be the same of H₂PO₃⁻ and moles of H₃PO₃ are 0,09moles - 0,045moles = 0,045moles

Henderson-Hasselbalch formula is:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] /[HA]

Where A⁻ is H₂PO₃⁻ and HA is H₃PO₃.

Replacing:

pH = 1,30 + log₁₀ [0,045mol] / [0,045mol]

<em>pH = 1,30</em>

*After addition of 50.0 mL KOH:

The addition of 50.0 mL KOH consume all H₃PO₃. Thus, in the solution you will have just H₂PO₃⁻. Thus, moles in solution for the equilibrium will be:

H₂PO₃⁻: 0,09-x

HPO₃²⁻: x

H⁺: x

Replacing:

10^{-6.70} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

1.8x10⁻⁸ - 2x10⁻⁷x - x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.000134064

As volume is 50,0mL + 50,0mL = 100,0mL

[H⁺] = 0.000134064moles / 0,100L = 1.34x10⁻³M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<em>pH = 2,87</em>

*After addition of 75.0 mL KOH:

Applying Henderson-Hasselbalch formula you will have 0,045 moles of both H₂PO₃⁻ HPO₃²⁻ and pka: 6,70:

pH = 6,70 + log₁₀ [0,045mol] / [0,045mol]

<em>pH = 6,70</em>

*After addition of 100.0 mL KOH:

You will have just 0,09moles of HPO₃²⁻, the equilibrium will be:

HPO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂PO₃⁻ + OH⁻ with kb = kw/ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴/10^-(6,70) = 5,01x10⁻⁸

kb = [H₂PO₃⁻] [OH⁻] / [HPO₃²⁻]

Moles are:

H₂PO₃⁻: x

OH⁻: x

HPO₃²⁻: 0,09-x

Replacing:

5.01x10^{-8} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

4.5x10⁻⁹ - 5.01x10⁻⁸x - x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.000067057

As volume is 50,0mL + 100,0mL = 150,0mL

[OH⁻] = 0.000067057moles / 0,150L = 4.47x10⁻⁴M

As pH = 14-pOH; pOH = -log [OH⁻]

<em>pH = 10,7</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

In a group assignment, students are required to fill 10 beakers with 0.720 M CaCl2. If the molar mass of CaCl2 is 110.98 g/mol a
8_murik_8 [283]
The answer is 200 g.

If the molar mass of CaCl2 is 110.98 g/mol, this means there are 110.98 g in 1 L of 1 M solution.
Let's find how many g of CaCl2 are present in 0.720 M.
110.98 g : 1 M = x : 0.720 M
x = 110.98 g * 0.720 M : 1 M 
x = 79.90 g

So there are 79.90 g in 0.720 M. In other words, in 1 L of 0.720 M solution there will be  79.90 g.

Now, we need to prepare ten beakers with 250 mL of solutions:
10 * 250 mL = 2500 mL = 2.5 L

79.90 g : 1 L = x : 2.5 L
x = 79.90 g * 2.5 L : 1 L
x = 199.75 g ≈ 200 g

2.1. The lithium ion in a 250,00 mL sample of mineral water was
juin [17]

Answer:

11482 ppt of Li

Explanation:

The lithium is extracted by precipitation with B(C₆H₄)₄. That means moles of Lithium = Moles B(C₆H₄)₄. Now, 1 mole of B(C₆H₄)₄ produce the liberation of 4 moles of EDTA. The reaction of EDTA with Mg²⁺ is 1:1. Thus, mass of lithium ion is:

<em>Moles Mg²⁺:</em>

0.02964L * (0.05581mol / L) = 0.00165 moles Mg²⁺ = moles EDTA

<em>Moles B(C₆H₄)₄ = Moles Lithium:</em>

0.00165 moles EDTA * (1mol B(C₆H₄)₄ / 4mol EDTA) = 4.1355x10⁻⁴ mol B(C₆H₄)₄ = Moles Lithium

That means mass of lithium is (Molar mass Li=6.941g/mol):

4.1355x10⁻⁴ moles Lithium * (6.941g/mol) = 0.00287g. In μg:

0.00287g * (1000000μg / g) = 2870μg of Li

As ppt is μg of solute / Liter of solution, ppt of the solution is:

2870μg of Li / 0.250L =
