The concentration ratio of conjugate acid to conjugate base for a 20 mM solution at pH 7.0 of an amino acid is 20:1.

Required:
a. What is the pK of the side chain?
b. What amino acid might this be?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 8.3= pKa of the aminoacid

b. Cysteine

Explanation:

The pH of an acid can be obtained using the H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A-] / [HA]

Where pH is the pH of the buffer = 7.0

pKa is the pka of the conjugate acid = ?

[A-] / [HA] is the ratio between conjugate base and conjugate acid. As the ratio of conjugate acid to conjugate base = 20:1, the [A-] / [HA] = 1/20

Replacing:

7 = pKa + log 1/20

7 = pKa - 1.30

7+1.30 = 8.3 = pKa of the aminoacid

The only aminoacid with a side chain with pKa = 8.3 is:

Cysteine. Allowing its identification.

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will decreasing the temperature have on the system? DH=+890kJCO2(g)+2H2O(l)<--> CH4(g)+2O2(g)a) the equilibrium constant will increaseb) the reaction will shift to the left in the direction of the reactantsc) the reaction will shift to the right in the direction of the productsd) no effect will be observed

Answers

Answer:

Option B. The reaction will shift to the left in the direction of the reactants.

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

CO₂ + 2H₂O <=> CH₄ + O₂

Enthalpy change (ΔH) = +890 KJ

The reaction illustrated by the equation is endothermic reaction since the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive.

Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the right and decrease the temperature will shift the equilibrium position to the left.

Therefore, decreasing the temperature of the system illustrated by the equation above, will shift the reaction to the left in the direction of the reactants.

Thus, option B gives the right answer to the question.

Certain ketones such as fructose can be oxidized by Benedict's reagent under basic conditions to form what type of compound

Answers

Answer:

Certain ketones such as fructose can be oxidized by Benedict's reagent under basic conditions to form what type of compound

Explanation:

Benedict's solution is a mixture of copper sulfate, anhydrous sodium carbonate, and sodium citrate.

In presence of mild reducing agents, Cu(II) ion in Benedict's solution becomes the Cu(I) ion.

Fructose has an alpha-hydroxy ketone group.

It undergoes tautomerism and forms alpha-hydroxy aldehyde which gives a positive test with Benedict's reagent.

During this test, aldehydes will be converted into carboxylic acids.

The reaction of fructose with Benedict's reagent is shown below:

what mass of phenol must be dissolved in 25.0 g of naphthalene to produce a solution that is 0.22 m in phenol

Answers

Answer: A mass of 0.518 g of phenol must be dissolved in 25.0 g of naphthalene to produce a solution that is 0.22 m in phenol.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of naphthalene = 25.0 g

Molality = 0.22 m

This means that 0.22 moles of solute is present per kg of solvent.

As 25.0 g  of naphthalene is there that will be 25.0 g per 1000 g (1 kg) is equal to 0.025 kg.

Hence, moles of phenol are calculated as follows.

[tex]Molality = \frac{moles}{mass (in kg)}\\0.22 m = \frac{moles}{0.025 kg}\\moles = 0.0055 mol[/tex]

Also, molar mass of phenol is 94.11 g/mol. This means that 1 mole of phenol contains 94.11 g.

Therefore, mass contained by 0.0055 moles of phenol is as follows.

[tex]0.0055 mol \times 94.11 g/mol \\= 0.518 g[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that a mass of 0.518 g of phenol must be dissolved in 25.0 g of naphthalene to produce a solution that is 0.22 m in phenol.

What is the first step in the curved arrow mechanism for the chlorination of benzene in the presence of FeCl3

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The chlorination of benzene occurs in the presence of a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is a compound that can accept a lone pair of electrons.

The first step in the chlorination of benzene is the formation of the ion Cl^+ which attacks the benzene ring.

This ion is formed when the Cl2 molecule undergoes heterolytic fission assisted by FeCl3 to yield FeCl4^- and Cl^+.

The Cl^+ electrophile now attacks the benzene ring to yield chlorobenzene.

In an exothermic chemical reaction:____.
A. The mass of the products is greater than the mass of the reactants.
B. The mass of the products is less then the mass of the reactants.
C. Heat is released as the reaction proceeds.
D. Heat is absorbed as the reaction proceeds.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Think of 'exo' as exit and 'thermic' as relating to thermal energy/ heat. Thus, an exothermic release thermal energy as the reaction proceeds.

In an exothermic reaction, the total energy of the products is lesser than that of the reactants and ΔH (change in energy) is less than zero.

When heat is absorbed as the reaction proceeds, the chemical reaction is an endothermic reaction.

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.0800 moles of bromine liquid participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of bromine liquid that participates. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

The mass of bromine liquid that participates in  a chemical reaction=12.8 g

Explanation:

We are given that

Total number of moles of bromine liquid participate in chemical reaction=0.0800 moles

We have to find the mass of bromine liquid that participates.

Atomic mass of Br=79.9 g

1  mole of bromine liquid=2 atomic mass of bromine (Br)

1 mole of bromine liquid ([tex]Br_2[/tex]) =[tex]2\times 79.9=159.8 g[/tex]

0.0800 moles of  bromine liquid=[tex]159.8\times 0.0800[/tex] g

0.0800 moles of  bromine liquid=12.784 g

0.0800 moles of  bromine liquid[tex]\approx 12.8[/tex] g

Hence, the mass of bromine liquid that participates in  a chemical reaction=12.8 g

Classify each cation as a weak acid or pH neutral (neither acidic nor basic).

a. Na+
b. Ni2+
c. NH4+

Answers

Answer:

a. Na+ is pH neutral

b. Ni2+ = weak acid

c. NH4+ = Weak acid

Explanation:

To know the nature of the cation we need to find the nature of its conjugate base.

If the conjugate base of the ion is a strong base, the ion is neutral.

If the conjugate base is a weak base, the ion is a weak acid:

a. Conjugate base Na+ = NaOH

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base:

Na+ is pH neutral

b. Conjugate base Ni²⁺: Ni(OH)2 is a weak base because is not completely soluble in water. That means:

Ni2+ = weak acid

c. Conjugate base NH4+: NH4OH. Weak base:

NH4+ = Weak acid

The elemental mass percent composition of succinic acid is 40.68% CC, 5.12% HH, and 54.19% OO. Determine the empirical formula of succinic acid.

Answers

Answer:

C2H3O2

Explanation:

Empirical formula is defined as the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms present in a molecule. To solve this question we need to convert the percentage of each atom to moles using molar mass. With the moles of each atom we can find the ratio:

Moles C -Molar mass: 12.01g/mol-

40.68g * (1mol/12.01g) = 3.387 moles C

Moles H-Molar mass:1g/mol-:

5.12g * (1mol/1g) = 5.12 moles H

Moles O -Molar mass: 16g/mol-

54.19g * (1mol/16g) = 3.387 moles O

Ratio of atoms (Dividing in moles of C that are the lower number of moles):

C = 3.387 moles C / 3.387moles C = 1

H = 5.12moles H / 3.387moles C = 1.5

O = 3.387moles O / 3.387 moles C = 1

This ratio twice (To have only whole-numbers):

C = 2

H = 3

O = 2

Empirical formula of succinic acid:

C2H3O2

A 15.4 mL aliquot of 0.204 MH3PO4(aq) is to be titrated with 0.17 MNaOH(aq). What volume (mL) of base will it take to reach the equivalence point?

Answers

Answer:

55.44L of the 0.17M NaOH are required

Explanation:

Phosphoric acid, H3PO4, reacts with NaOH as follows:

H3PO4 + 3NaOH → Na3PO4 + 3H2O

Where 1 mole of H3PO4 reacts with 3 moles of NaOH

To solve this question we need to find the moles of H3PO4 in the aliquot. Using the balanced equation we can find the moles of NaOH and its volume with the concentration (0.17M) as follows:

Moles H3PO4:

15.4mL = 0.0154L * (0.204mol/L) = 0.00314 moles H3PO4

Moles NaOH:

0.00314 moles H3PO4 * (3mol NaOH / 1mol H3PO4) = 0.009425moles NaOH

Volume NaOH:

0.009425moles NaOH * (1L/0.17moles NaOH) = 0.05544L 0.17M NaOH =

55.44L of the 0.17M NaOH are required

Explanation:

Boiling point elevation is a colligative property. Coligative properties are properties that depend on the amount of solute present in the system. The boiling point of solvents increase due to the presence of solutes.

The boiling point elevation depends on the number of particles the solute forms in solution and the molality of the solute. The more the number of particles formed by the solute and the greater the molality of the solute, the greater the magnitude of boiling point elevation.

The order of decreasing hoping point elevation is;

1) 0.75 m CaCl2

2) 1.0 m NaCl

3) 0.5 m KBr

4) 1.5 m glucose (C6H12O6)

b. The anion affects the color of the solution more than the intensity of the color.

Explanation:

An ionic compound is one that is made up of ions held together by electrostatic forces. The ions are made up of positively charged ions known as cations and negatively charged ions known as anions. In compounds with a high ionic attribute, anions produce colorless compounds. But compounds that have less ionic attributes produce deeper colors like black and red. When in solutions, ionic compounds take on color and this is because of the anion that absorbs infrared light energy.
