The Global Positioning System, receives signal from satellites over head, the difference in time, for the signal to reach the receiver on earth, will be different from each satellite and can be measure!

Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone who is more informed on this than I am, but wouldn't it be because of the magnetic fields and whatnot? The longer I think on it, the more I feel like I'm wrong, so don't take my word for it 100%

how to determine the net charge of the tripeptide Asp-Gly-Leu at pH 7. Can someone show in details and tricks on how to solve it

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

You need to search your pKa values for Asn (2.14, 8.75), Gly (2.35, 9.78) and Leu(2.33, 9.74), the first value corresponding to -COOH, the second to -NH3 (a third value would correspond to an R group, but in this case that does not apply), and we'll build a table to find the charges for your possible dissociated groups at indicated pH (7), we need to remember that having a pKa lower than the pH will give us a negative charge, having a pKa bigger than pH will give us a positive charge:

-COOH -NH3

pH 7------------------------------------------------------

Asn - +

Gly - +

Leu - +

Now that we have our table we'll sketch our peptide's structure:

This will allow us to see what groups will be free to react to the pH's value, and which groups are not reacting to pH because are forming the bond between amino acids. In this particular example only -NH group in Ans and -COOH in Leu are exposed to pH, we'll look for these charges in the table and add them to find the net charge:

+1 (HN-Asn)

-1 (Leu-COOH)

The net charge is 0!

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Calcium reacts with Hydrochloric acid to produce Calcium chloride and

hammer [34]

Answer:

Mass = 2.77 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of HCl = 2 g

Mass of CaCl₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Ca → CaCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 2 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

now we will compare the moles of HCl with CaCl₂.

HCl : CaCl₂

2 : 1

0.05 : 1/2×0.05 = 0.025 mol

Mass of CaCl₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.025 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass = 2.77 g

In the laboratory, a general chemistry student measured the pH of a 0.529 M aqueous solution of phenol (a weak acid), C6H5OH to

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The dissociation constant of phenol from given information is $9.34\times 10^{-11}$ .

Explanation:

The measured pH of the solution = 5.153

$C_6H_5OH\rightarrow C_6H_5O^-+H^+$

Initially c

At eq'm c-x x x

The expression of dissociation constant is given as:

$K_a=\frac{[C_6H_5O^-][H^+]}{[C_6H_5OOH]}$

Concentration of phenoxide ions and hydrogen ions are equal to x.

$pH=-\log[x]$

$5.153=-\log[x]$

$x=7.03\times 10^{-6} M$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}=\frac{x^2}{(c-x)}=\frac{(7.03\times 10^{-6} M)^2}{ 0.529 M-7.03\times 10^{-6} M}$

$K_a=9.34\times 10^{-11}$

The dissociation constant of phenol from given information is $9.34\times 10^{-11}$ .

Is the gravity a black hole strong enough to keep light from escaping True or False

puteri [66]

Answer:

The gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape once it gets too close. ... Moving at close to the speed of light, these particles ricochet off the event horizon and get hurled outward along the black hole's axis of rotation
