Answer :

pKa_1=2.17\\pKa_2=9.13\\pI=5.65

Explanation: Glutamine a amino acid which have 2 protonable groups that is NH_3^+ and COOH having 2 pKa's.

This amino acid has an extra amide group (-CONH_2) group which is not protonable.

The structures with their pKa values are provided in the image below.

pI or isoelectric point is the pH at which the amino acid have no net charge.

In this case, structure B has a net 0 charge, therefore it will have a pI present between pKa_1 and pKa_2.

pKa values of glutamine are:

pKa_1=2.17\\pKa_2=9.13

pI will be

pI=\frac{pKa_1+pKa_2}{2}

pI=\frac{2.17+9.13}{2}

pI = 5.65

which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?
NeTakaya

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?

(a)   at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(b)  at low temperatures, low-energy collisions happen more frequently.

(c)   at higher temperatures, less-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(d)  at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of a chemical reaction then molecules of the reactant species tend to gain kinetic energy. As a result, they come into motion which leads to more number of collisions within the molecules.

Therefore, chemical reaction will take less amount of time in order to reach its end point. This means that there will occur an increase in rate of reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently, best explains why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.

The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times while maintaining a constant volume. What happens to the
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The pressure increases by a factor of four.

Explanation:

Let's consider a gas at a given temperature and pressure (T₁, P₁). The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times (T₂ = 4 T₁) while maintaining a constant volume. We can assess the effect on the pressure (P₂) by using Gay Lussac's law.

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

P₂ = P₁ × T₂/T₁

P₂ = P₁ × 4 T₁/T₁

P₂ = 4 P₁

The pressure increases by a factor of four.
