Answer:

H⁺(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

Sn(s) + 2 H⁺(aq) → Sn²⁺(aq) + H₂(g)

We can identify both half-reactions.

Oxidation: Sn(s) → Sn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Reduction: 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → H₂(g)

Sn(s) undergoes oxidation so it is the reducing agent, while H⁺(aq) undergoes reduction so it is the oxidizing agent.

Calculate the ph of a 0.17 m solution of c6h5nh3no3 (kb for c6h5nh2 = 3.8 x 10-10). record your ph value to 2 decimal places.

MatroZZZ [7]

Mass of the solution = 0.17m
Kb for C6H5NH2 = 3.8 x 10^-10
We know Ka for C6H5NH2 = 1.78x10^-11
We have Kw = Ka x Kb => Ka = Kw / Kb
=> (C2H5NH2)(H3O^+)/(C2H5NH3^+) => 1.78x10^-11 = K^2 / 0.17
K^2 = 3 x 10^-12 => K = 1.73 x 10^-6.
pH = -log(Kw(H3O^+)) = -log(1.73 x 10^-6) = 5.76

The activation energy for proline isomerization of a peptide depends on the identity of the preceding residue and obeys Arrheniu

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation- $k=Ae^{\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}}$ , where k is rate constant, A is pre-exponential factor, $E_{a}$ is activation energy, R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

As A is identical for both peptide therefore-

$\frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=e^\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-E_{a}^{ala-pro}]}{RT}$

Here $\frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=\frac{0.05}{0.005}$ , T = 298 K , R = 8.314 J/(mol.K) and $E_{a}^{ala-pro}=60kJ/mol$

So, $\frac{0.05}{0.005}=e^{\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-(60000J/mol)]}{8.314J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}\times 298K}}$

$\Rightarrow$ $E_{a}^{phe-pro}=65705J/mol=66kJ/mol$ (rounded off to two significant digit)

So, activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol

What is measured by the reaction rate? the probability that a reaction will occur the speed at which products form the time requ

Cloud [144]

Answer: the speed at which products form

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds. It is often expressed in terms of the concentration of a reactant that is consumed in a unit time or the concentration of a product that is formed in a unit of time.

For a general reaction : $A\rightarrow B$
