What is the net charge of the peptide arg-ala-phe-leu at ph 8?

Chemistry

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

I know how to do electron configuration, but I think I’m doing the rest wrong. Answers and explanations would be much appreciate
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Your answers seem great so far, except for a tiny issue: With the ionic symbols, try to get into the habit of using "+", with metals, like sodium, and try to use the integer first. So, for example, a potassium ion would be K^+, while an oxide ion would be O^2-


Let's take aluminium as an example I'll work through:

Aluminium, with it's atomic number of 13, will have an electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 1s2 2p1. So it would have 2, 8, 3 electrons in the first three energy levels, respectively.

Usually, if an elemental atom has a valence electron (highest energy level electron) count less than 4, it almost always will lose electrons. Since aluminium has 3, it will also lose the electrons.

It loses the 3 valence electrons, and so will end up with 10 electrons.

Since the atomic number also tells how many protons it has, we know that an aluminium atom has 13 protons, which doesn't change.

Since the size of the charges of a proton and an electron are the same, with protons being positive and the electrons being negative, an aluminium ion would have a charge of +3, and the Ionic symbol would be Al^3+



Hope I helped! xx

The sp of pbbr2 is 6. 60×10−6. what is the molar solubility of pbbr2 in pure water?
Inessa05 [86]

Ksp of PbBr₂ is 6.60 × 10⁻⁶. The molar solubility of PbBr₂ in pure water is 0.0118M.

Ksp or Solubility Product Constant is an equilibrium constant for the dissociation in an aqueous solution.

Molar solubility (S) is the concentration of the dissolved substance in a solution that is saturated.

Let the molar solubility be S upon dissociation.

PbBr₂ or Lead Bromide dissociates in pure water as follows:

                          PbBr₂ ----------> Pb⁺² + Br⁻

                                                     S      2S

Ksp = [Pb⁺²] [ Br⁻]

Ksp = (S) (2S)²

Ksp = 4S³

6.60 × 10⁻⁶ = 4S³

S = 0.0118M

Hence, the Molar solubility S is 0.0118M.

When ionic solids dissolve in water, they produce soluble aqueous cations and anions. For example, adding MgBr2 solids to water
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Al(NO3)3(s)--------> Al^3+(aq) + 3NO3^-(aq)

Explanation:

The equation shown above describes the dissolution of Al(NO3)3 in water using the lowest coefficients.

This occurs when solid Al(NO3)3 is added to water. It dissolves to give rise to ions as shown. This is a property of all ionic substances.
