List 3 scenarios for a substance being classified as a weak acid
2 answers:
Answer:
3 scenarios:
1. acetic acid, organic acid that comes from vinager
2. citric acid, that is present in some fruits
3. phosphoric acid , present in sodas
Explanation:
A weak acid is the one that partially transferres its proton (H+) to a water molecule ( partial dissociation), and usually a part of the original acid (HA) remains after the process of dissociation; that is why, a dissociation reaction of a weak acid is represented with an arrow of both ways.
As we can see, the acetic acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid are great examples of weak acid. Their pH is higher thanks to its low dissociation, and they can even be eaten in low concentrations.

The structure of this oligopeptide is attached:
It consists of arginine - alanine - phenylalanine and leucine
From the picture we can see that N terminus charge is +1
Also Arginine is considered as basic amino acid with charge +1
C terminus charge is -1
At pH = 8, the whose pKa are less than pH will be deprotonated and the net charge will be +1
So the net charge of this oligopeptide is +1 at pH = 8
