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

Which equation is a decomposition reaction? Li2CO3 Right arrow. Li2O + CO2 Zn + HCl Right arrow. ZnCl2 + H2 Na2O + CO2 Right arr
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Li₂CO₃ ⇒ Li₂O + CO₂ is a decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a single substance decomposes, producing two or more different substances. In other words, in this type of reaction two or more substances are formed from a compound. The atoms that form a compound separate to give the products according to the formula:

AB → A + B

It can occur spontaneously, or be aided by a catalyst, heat, or electrolysis.

In this case:

Li₂CO₃ ⇒ Li₂O + CO₂ It is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound decomposes into two or more compounds. So it is a decomposition reaction.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The release of methane from thawed permafrost.

Explanation:

The complete question is

A group of scientists in Alaska notices that not only have atmospheric CO2 levels increased at their sampling site but so too have methane levels. What could account for this increase in methane levels?

- None of the answer options is correct.

- The release of methane from thawed permafrost.

-A decrease in beef production near the researchers' sampling area.

-The melting of permafrost accompanied by the thawing of methane-producing bacteria.

-The failure of rice paddies to be established in Alaska, given its climate.

Permafrost regions like the arctic circle hold a large supply supply of methane in their soils and their seas. Ordinarily, this methane should be gradually released naturally over a long period of time, but the effects of global warming is making these permafrost to thaw at a much faster rate, accelerating the release of methane into the atmosphere. The dark side is that methane is about 80 times more deadly when compared to CO2 in its contribution to the green house effect on earth.

Compare how a positively charged object and a negatively charged object interact with a neutral object:
nlexa [21]
In the area of positive charge, neutral body gets negative charge for making a dipole whereas when negative charge bought near neutral one, it gets positive charge for the same reason.........making polarization

Assume that matter does not consist of atoms. Show by example how this assumption leads to
Leviafan [203]

If matter was not composed of atoms, the law definite proportions and law of multiple proportions will not hold true because compound would have random composition.

<h3>What is the law of definite proportions and law of multiple proportions?</h3>

The law of definite proportions states that all pure samples of a compound contains the same element in a fixed mass ratio.

The law of multiple proportions states that if an element combines with another element to form more than one compound, the mass of the element combines with a fixed mass of the other element in whole number multiples ratios.

Assuming matter was not composed of atoms, the law definite proportions and law of multiple proportions will not hold true because, their will be no definite ratio or composition in compounds.

The law definite proportions and law of multiple proportions are required for the atomic theory as they help prove that matter consists of definite unique particles called atoms.

In conclusion, the existence of atoms is proved true by the law definite proportions and law of multiple proportions.
