Answer:
Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶
Explanation:
A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:
HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)
<em>Where Ka is:</em>
Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]
<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie.
</em>
The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:
[HX] = 1.64M - X
[H⁺] = X
[X⁻] = X
As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:
[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:
[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M
[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M
[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M
And Ka is:
Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]
<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Quaternary structure of proteins is composed of two or more polypeptide chains. Insulin has two; one alpha and one beta chain. The two chains are joined together by disulfide bonds at two points (at cysteines). Other examples of quaternary proteins structures are DNA polymerase and hemoglobin.
