The amino acid glycine is often used as the main ingredient of a buffer in biochemical experiments. The amino group of glycine,

which has a pKa of 9.6, can exist either in the protonated form (-NH3+) or as the free base (−NH2), because of the reversible equilibrium:
R-NH3+ left right double arrow R−NH2 + H+
A) In what pH range can glycine be used as an effective buffer due to its amino group?B) In a 0.1 M solution of glycine at pH 9.0, what fraction of glycine has its amino group in the -NH3+ form?C) How much 5 M KOH must be added to 1.0 L of 0.1 M glycine at pH 9.0 to bring its pH to exactly 10.0?D) When 99% of the glycine is in its -NH3+ form, what is the numerical relation between the pH of the solution and the pKa of the amino group?

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

a)

The function of a buffer is effective between the region of  about one pH unit below and one unit above its pKa value.

For glycine; The pH range that is best effective for glycine to be used as a buffer is: (9.6 - 1.0) to (9.6 + 1.0)

= 8.6 to 10.6 pH region

b)  In a 0.1 M solution of glycine at pH 9.0, what fraction of glycine has its amino group in the -NH3+ form?

According to Henderson hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]

9.0 = 9.6 + log [A⁻]/[HA]

[A⁻]/[HA] = 10 ^{9.6-9.0}

[A⁻]/[HA] = 10^{0.6}

[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.25 = 1/4

C) How much 5 M KOH must be added to 1.0 L of 0.1 M glycine at pH 9.0 to bring its pH to exactly 10.0?

Using Henderson Hasselbalch equation

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

1 mole of KOH would result in 1 mole of [A-] salt formation

The number of moles of glycine = Molarity  x Litre = 0.1 x 1 = 0.1 moles

From (B) :

[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.25

[A⁻] = 0.25 [HA]

we know that, equal volume of [base]+[acid] = 0.1

For [A-] from above:

0.25[acid] + [acid] = 0.1

1.25[acid] = 0.1

[acid] = 0.1/1.25

=  0.08 mol,

NOW; [base] = 1 - 0.08 mol

= 0.02 mol

For pH at  10.0

pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]

10.0 = 9.6 + log[A-]/[HA]

10.0 -9.6 =  log[A-]/[HA]

0.4 = log[A-]/[HA]

[A-]/[HA]  = 10^{0.4}

[A-] = 2.511[HA]

Now;

2.5[acid] + [acid] = 0.1

[acid] = 0.03 mol,

[base] = 1-  0.03 mol  = 0.07 mol

Thus,  the difference between the two moles of [base] is  (0.07 - 0.02) = 0.05 mol will be the amount of base required to be added

Finally, the volume of KOH = number of moles/Molarity of KOH

= 0.05/5

= 0.010 L

= 10 mL

Therefore; the volume of KOH needed to add would be 10 mL in order to bring the pH  from 9.0 to exactly pH 10.0

D) When 99% of the glycine is in its -NH3+ form, what is the numerical relation between the pH of the solution and the pKa of the amino group?

Using Henderson Hasselbalch equation again:

pH = pKa + log [\dfrac{NH_2}{NH_3^+}]

pH = pKa + log [\dfrac{0.01}{0.99}]

pH = pKa + (-1.99)

pH = pKa - 1.99

Therefore ,  the numerical relation between the pH of the solution and the pKa of the amino group is approximately 2.00 pH units

What happens in nuclear fission reactions?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

in nuclear fission, an unstable atom splits into 2 or more smaller pieces that are more stable and releases energy in the process. the fission process also releases extra neutrons which can split additional atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that releases a lot of energy

With 21 g of Zinc, and 7 g of CuCl2, how much ZnCl2 is made in grams?
mina [271]

Answer: 7.07 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}\times{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} zinc=\frac{21g}{65g/mol}=0.32moles

\text{Moles of} CuCl_2=\frac{7g}{134g/mol}=0.052moles

Zn+CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+ZnCl_2

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of CuCl_2 require 1 mole of Zn

Thus 0.052 moles of CuCl_2 will require=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.052=0.052moles  of Zn

Thus CuCl_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Zn is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of CuCl_2 give = 1 mole of ZnCl_2

Thus 0.052 moles of CuCl_2 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.052=0.052moles  of ZnCl_2

Mass of ZnCl_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.052moles\times 136g/mol=7.07g

Thus 7.07 g of ZnCl_2 will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.
