Explanation :

Zwitter ion : An ion or molecule having separate negatively and positively charged groups.

Methionine is an amino acid with sulfur atom in its molecule .The proton from carboxylic group with get attached to amino group present in the methionine and negative charge will be generated on oxygen atom of a carboxylic group which will get in conjugation with an another oxygen atom of the carboxylic group.

The positive charge will generated on the nitrogen atom due attachment of the proton from the carboxylic group.

As shown in the image attached.

Methionine is an amino acid and like some amino acid, it has a zwitterion form. A zwitterion form is a form of molecule showing separate positive and negative charges. The hydrogen from the carboxylic acid group will transfer to the amino group producing a negative charge at the carboxyl group and a positive charge at the amino group.

Which postulate of Dalton's atomic model was later changed and why?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Part two of Dalton's theory had to be modified after mass spectrometry experiments demonstrated that atoms of the same element can have different masses because the number of neutrons can vary for different isotopes of the same element. ... Scientists have even developed the technology to see the world on an atomic level!

Salt is dissolved in a flask of tap water. Distilling the mixture causes the salt to separate from the water. Which type of ener

Alik [6]

Heat energy is required.
In distillation, the solution is first heated, where heat energy is required, such as using a bunsen burner.
When the solution is heated, the water may reach its boiling point and evaporate. However, salt does not. When water molecules evaporates, it travels through a condenser that cools it down into liquid again. Therefore we get pure water. Salt is also obtained in the original beaker.
Therefore to first start this process, heat energy is required.

What is the poH of a<br> 4.8 x 10-10 M H+ solution?

stiks02 [169]

Answer: pOH = 4.68

Explanation:

pOH = 14 - pH

pH = - Log [H+]

= - Log [4.8 x 10^-10]

= -(-9.32)

pH =+9.32

Therefore, pOH= 14 - 9.32

= 4.68

Use a chemical equation to show how aqueous hno3 fits the definition of an acid

Lunna [17]

An acid has several definitions one would be that it is a proton donor and an electron donor. Also, it said to produce an H+ ion when in solution. For nitric acid in solution, it dissociates into ions which are NO- ions and H+ ions. So, it must be an acid. It has a dissociation reaction:

HNO3 = H+ + NO3-
