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.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 17g of NH₃ in 0.50L of solution?

Please explain as well!

Answers

Explanation:

Because molarity is mol/L, we'll have to convert 17g to mol.

After obtaining the mol, we'll divide that by the volume to obtain Molarity.

Molar mass of Ammonia:-

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto NH_3[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 14u+3(1u)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 14u+3u[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 17u[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 17g/mol[/tex]

Moles of Ammonia:-

[tex]\boxed{\sf No\:of\:moles =\dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{17}{17}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto No\;of\:moles=1mol[/tex]

Volume of solution=0.50L

We know

[tex]\boxed{\sf Molarity=\dfrac{Moles\:of\:solute}{Volume\:of\: Solution\:in\:L}}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Molarity=\dfrac{1}{0.50}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Molarity=2M[/tex]

The forensic technician at a crime scene has just prepared a luminol stock solution by adding 17.0 \({\rm g}\) of luminol into a total volume of 75.0 \(\rm mL\) of \(\rm H_2O\). What is the molarity of the stock solution of luminol

Answers

Answer:

1.28 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of luminol (solute): 17.0 g

Volume of water: 75.0 mL (this is also the volume of solution)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 17.0 g of luminol

The molar mass of luminol is 177.16 g/mol.

17.0 g × 1 mol/177.16 g = 0.0960 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

We will use the definition of molarity

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.0960 mol / 0.0750 L = 1.28 M

For the following reaction, 5.29 grams of water are mixed with excess diphosphorus pentoxide. The reaction yields 13.3 grams of phosphoric acid . diphosphorus pentoxide(s) + water(l) phosphoric acid(aq). What is the theoretical yield of phosphoric acid?

Answers

Answer:

19.2 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

P₂O₅(s) + 3 H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 H₃PO₄

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 5.29 g of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

5.29 g × 1 mol/18.02 g = 0.294 mol

Step 3: Calculate the theoretical yield of phosphoric acid, in moles

The molar ratio of H₂O to H₃PO₄ is 3:2. The theoretical yield of H₃PO₄ is 2/3 × 0.294 mol = 0.196 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.196 moles of H₃PO₄

The molar mass of H₃PO₄ is 97.99 g/mol.

0.196 mol × 97.99 g/mol = 19.2 g

The percentage recovery is obtained from;

Percent recovery = amount of substance you actually collected / amount of substance you were supposed to collect × 100

Note that the fact that some of the copper nitrate solution splashed out of the beaker means that some amount copper has been lost from the system. This loss of copper leads to a lower value of copper recovered from solution.

Elimination of the pharmaceutical IV antibiotic gentamicin follows first-order kinetics. If the half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hours for an adolescent. What fraction of the original reactant concentration will remain after 8 hours if the original concentration was 8.4 x 10-5 M.

Answers

Explanation:

The given data is:

The half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hrs.

The reaction follows first-order kinetics.

The initial concentration of the reactants is 8.4 x 10-5 M.

The concentration of reactant after 8 hrs can be calculated as shown below:

The formula of the half-life of the first-order reaction is:

[tex]k=\frac{0.693}{t_1_/_2}[/tex]

Where k = rate constant

t1/2=half-life

So, the rate constant k value is:

[tex]k=\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs}[/tex]

The expression for the rate constant is :

[tex]k=\frac{2.303}{t} log \frac{initial concentration}{concentration after time "t"}[/tex]

Substitute the given values and the k value in this formula to get the concentration of the reactant after time 8 hrs is shown below:

[tex]\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs} =\frac{2.303}{8 hrs} x log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} \\ log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} =1.604\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=10^1^.^6^0^4\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=40.18\\y=\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{40.18} \\=>y=2.09x10^-^6[/tex]

Answer: The concentration of reactant remains after 8 hours is 2.09x10^-6M.

A 25.0 mL sample of 0.150 M hypochlorous acid is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. What is the pH at the equivalence point? The Kaof hypochlorous acid is 3.0x10^-8.
a) 10.20
b) 7.00
c) 6.48
d) 7.52
e) 14.52

Answers

Answer:

pH = 10.20

Explanation:

The HClO reacts with NaOH as follows:

HClO + NaOH → H2O + NaClO

Where HClO and NaOH react in a 1:1 reaction.

As the concentration of both reactions is the same and the reaction is 1:1, to reach equivalence point are required the same 25.0mL.

And the NaClO produced decreases its concentration in 2 because the volume is doubled.

The concentration of NaClO is: 0.150M / 2 = 0.075M

The equilibrium of NaClO is:

NaClO(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ HClO(aq) + OH-(aq)

Where Kb of reaction is 1.0x10⁻¹⁴ / Ka =

1.0x10⁻¹⁴ / 3.0x10⁻⁸ = 3.33x10⁻⁷ = [HClO] [OH-] / [NaClO]

[NaClO] = 0.075M

As both HClO and OH- comes from the same equilibrium,

[HClO] = [OH-] = X

Where X is the reactoin coordinate

Replacing:

3.33x10⁻⁷ = [X] [X] / [0.075M]

2.5x10⁻⁸ = X²

X = 1.58x10⁻⁴M = [OH-]

pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = 3.80

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 10.20

A sample of oxygen gas at a pressure of 1.19 atm and a temperature of 24.4 °C, occupies a volume of 18.7 liters. If the gas is allowed to expand at constant temperature to a volume of 29.4 liters, the pressure of the gas sample will be ______ atm.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.757 \ atm}}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are asked to find the pressure of a gas given a change in volume. Since the temperature remains constant, we are only concerned with volume and pressure. We will use Boyle's Law, which states the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure. The formula for this law is:

[tex]P_1V_1= P_2V_2[/tex]

Initially, the oxygen gas occupies a volume of 18.7 liters at a pressure of 1.19 atmospheres.

[tex]1.19 \ atm * 18.7 \ L = P_2V_2[/tex]

The gas expands to a volume of 29.4 liters, but the pressure is unknown.

[tex]1.19 \ atm * 18.7 \ L = P_2 * 29.4 \ L[/tex]

We are solving for the new pressure, so we must isolate the variable [tex]P_2[/tex]. It is being multiplied by 29.4 liters. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 29.4 L.

[tex]\frac {1.19 \ atm * 18.7 \ L}{29.4 \ L} =\frac{ P_2 * 29.4 \ L}{29.4 \ L}[/tex]

[tex]\frac {1.19 \ atm * 18.7 \ L}{29.4 \ L} =P_2[/tex]

The units of liters cancel.

[tex]\frac {1.19 \ atm * 18.7 }{29.4 } =P_2[/tex]

[tex]\frac {22.253}{29.4 } \ atm = P_2[/tex]

[tex]0.7569047619 \ atm =P_2[/tex]

The original measurements all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place. The 9 in the ten-thousandth place to the right of this place tells us to round the 6 up to a 7.

[tex]0.757 \ atm \approx P_2[/tex]

The pressure of the gas sample is approximately 0.757 atmospheres.

Answer:

According to Boyle's law, for a given mass of ideal gas, pressure of gas is inversely proportional to the volume of gas, Provided the Temprature remains constant.

P₁ = 1.19 atmP₂ = ?V₁ = 18.7 LV₂ = 29.4 LT = constant = 24.4° C = Isothermal process

[tex]\implies \sf P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf 1.19 \times 18. 7= P_2 \times 29.4 \\[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf 22.253= P_2 \times 29.4 \\[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf P_2 = \dfrac{22.253}{29.4} \\[/tex]

[tex]\implies \underline{ \red{\boxed{ \bf P_2 \approx0.756 \: atm }}} \\[/tex]

10. At 573K, NO2(g) decomposes forming NO and O2. The decomposition reaction is second order in NO2 with a rate constant of 1.1 M-1s-1. If the initial concentration of NO2 is 0.056 M, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2 to decompose

Answers

Answer:

48.67 seconds

Explanation:

From;

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o

[A] = concentration at time t

t= time taken

k= rate constant

[A]o = initial concentration

Since [A] =[A]o - 0.75[A]o

[A] = 0.056 M - 0.042 M

[A] = 0.014 M

1/0.014 = (1.1t) + 1/0.056

71.4 - 17.86 = 1.1t

53.54 = 1.1t

t= 53.54/1.1

t= 48.67 seconds

Hence,it takes 48.67 seconds to decompose.

If position vector r=bt²i + ct³j, where c are positive constants, when does the velocity vector make an angle of 45° with the x and y axes?

Answers

We want to find the value of t such that the velocity vector makes an angle of 45° with both axes.

We found that:

t = (2/3)*(b/c)

The velocity vector makes an angle of 45° with the x and y axes.

We know that the position vector is:

r = r=b*t²i + c*t³j

Remember that the versor "i" corresponds to the x-component, and the versor "j" corresponds to the y-component, then:

r = r=b*t²i + c*t³j  = (b*t², c*t³)

The velocity vector is the vector that we get when we differentiate the position one, remember that if:

f(x) = a*x^n

then

f'(x) = n*a*x^(n - 1)

Using this, we can find that the velocity vector is:

v = (2*b*t,  3*c*t²)

Now we want to know, when does the velocity vector make an angle of 45° with the x and y axes.

Let's think of the vector as the hypotenuse of a triangle rectangle, where the x-component is the adjacent cathetus, and the y-component is the opposite cathetus. (so the angle is measured counterclockwise from the x-axis)

We have the trigonometric equation:

tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

So now we can replace these things with the known ones:

a = 45°

opposite cathetus = y-component = 3*c*t²

adjacent cathetus = x-component = 2*b*t

So we will get:

tan(45°)  =  (3*c*t²)/( 2*b*t)

1 = (3/2)*(c/b)*t

Now we can solve this for the variable, t.

1*(2/3)*(b/c) = t

t = (2/3)*(b/c)

We can conclude that at the time:

t = (2/3)*(b/c)

The velocity vector makes an angle of 45° with the x and y axes.
