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

Cellular respiration involves the use of ___ and the release of ___
12345 [234]
<span>It involves the use of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide. Basically, when you breath in, the cells use the oxygen and transfer it through your body and the wasteful byproduct is the carbon dioxide that is released into the air back. Which is good because plants then use that and release oxygen.</span>
