The pKa for the side chain of histidine is 6.0. What is the ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated sid

e chain at pH 5.0 and at pH 7.5?

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

natima [27]

Answer: Thermal energy from the fire moves to the water in the form of heat.

Because according to second law of thermodynamic, heat flows from higher to lower temperature region. Heat is the transfer of energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature. so energy flows from warmer to colder objects
