A sample of the amino acid tyrosine is barely soluble in water. Would a peptide containing only a string of Tyr residues be more

or less soluble, assuming the total number of Tyr groups remains constant? Explain.

Answer:

Tyrosine is a polar and aromatic compound. its side chain acidity and basicity is neutral

if a peptide contain only a string of tyrosine residue especially l tyrosine the solubility increases more

Explanation:

even tyrosine number remains constant, tyrosine containing peptide will be more soluble. This peptide is soluble in 1 M HCl (100 mg/ml), with heating. The solubility in water (25 °C) is 0.45 mg/ml in the pH range 3.2 - 7.5.

2.0 mg/ml; at pH 9.5, the solubility is 1.4 mg/ml; and at pH 10, the solubility is 3.8 mg/ml.

What is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite? (Ka HNO2 = 4.5 x 10−4 )
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

11.9 is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite.

Explanation:

Solution :  Given,

Concentration (c) = 0.150 M

Acid dissociation constant = k_a=4.5\times 10^{-4}

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of HNO_2 (weak acid) is,

                           HNO_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NO_2^-+H_3O^+

initially conc.         c                       0         0

At eqm.              c(1-\alpha)                c\alpha        c\alpha

First we have to calculate the concentration of value of dissociation constant (\alpha ).

Formula used :

k_a=\frac{(c\alpha)(c\alpha)}{c(1-\alpha)}

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get the value of dissociation constant (\alpha ).

4.5\times 10^{-4}=\frac{(0.150\alpha)(0.150\alpha)}{0.150(1-\alpha)}

4.5\times 10^{-4} - 4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha =0.150\alpha ^2

0.150\alpha ^2+4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha-4.5\times 10^{-4}=0

By solving the terms, we get

\alpha=0.0533

No we have to calculate the concentration of hydronium ion or hydrogen ion.

[H^+]=c\alpha=0.150\times 0.0533=0.007995 M

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (0.007995 M)

pH=2.097\approx 2.1

pH + pOH = 14

pOH =14 -2.1 = 11.9

Therefore, the pOH of the solution is 11.9
