Glycine is the simplest amino acid there is. Its structural formula is shown in the attached picture. Amino acids are characterized with having an amine group and a carboxylic group at both ends of the terminals. Carboxylic acid is acidic so it has a partial negative charge on one side. Amines are basic so it has a partially positive charge on the other side. Possessing this property of having opposite charges at once is called a zwitterion. That is what is meant by the pKa values. These are the pH values of the individual functional groups. The pKa 2.34 is for the carboxylic group while pKa 9.6 is for the amine group.
These electrostatic attractions depend on the pH of the solution. At pH 12, the functional group that predominates is the carboxylic group with an overall charge of -1 as shown in the second picture.
Answer:
Gas molecules move at random with no attractive forces between them.
Explanation:
Kinetic-molecular theory is based on the following postulates, or assumptions.
Gases are composed of a large number of particles that behave like hard, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion.
These particles move in a straight line until they collide with another particle or the walls of the container.
These particles are much smaller than the distance between particles. Most of the volume of a gas is therefore empty space.
There is no force of attraction between gas particles or between the particles and the walls of the container.
Collisions between gas particles or collisions with the walls of the container are perfectly elastic. None of the energy of a gas particle is lost when it collides with another particle or with the walls of the container.
The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles depends on the temperature of the gas and nothing else.
Answer:
- There will be 1.23 moles of helium in the balloon at STP
Explanation:
1) <u>Initial conditions of the helium gas</u>:
- V = 20.0 liter
- p = 1.50 atm
- T = 25.0 °C = 25.0 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K
2) <u>Ideal gas equation</u>:
- pV = n RT
- p, V, and T are given above
- R is the Universal constant = 0.0821 atm-liter / ( K - mol)
- n is the unknown number of moles
3) <u>Solve for n</u>:
- n = 1.50 atm × 20.0 liter / (0.0821 atm-liter /k -mol ×298.15K)
4) <u>At STP:</u>
- STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.
- The amount (number of moles) of the gas will not change because the change of pressure and temperature, so the number of moles reamain the same: 1.23 mol.
