Answer:

When the pKa is 6.0, we can determine the fraction of protonated H is by:

pH = pKa + log [A]/[HA]

Where

A = Deprotonated imidazole side

HA = Protonated side

Given, pH = 5.0

5 = 6 + log [A]/[HA]

log [A]/[HA] = -1 (take antilog of both side)

[A]/[HA] = 0.1

The ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated side chain at pH 5.0 = 0.1

Given, pH = 7.5

7.5 = 6 + log [A]/[HA]

log [A]/[HA] = 1.5 (take antilog of both sides)

[A]/[HA] = 31.62

The ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated side chain at pH 5.0 = 31.62
