For a weak acid such as the side chain ε-amino group of a lysine residue in a protein, if the pKa of that specific residue's ε-a

mino group is exactly 10.0, in an environment in which the pH = 9.0, what would be the ratio of base to acid?

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log ( base / acid )

pH= 9.0 , pKa = 10.0

9.0 = 10 + log ( base / acid )

9 - 10 = log ( base / acid )

10⁻¹ = ( base / acid )

( base / acid ) = 0.1

Exactly how much time must elapse before 16 grams of potassium-42decays, leaving 2 grams of the original isotope?(1) 8 × 12.4 ho
AleksandrR [38]
The answer is <span>(3) 3 × 12.4 hours
</span>
To calculate this, we will use two equations:
(1/2) ^{n} =x
t_{1/2} = \frac{t}{n}
where:
<span>n - number of half-lives
</span>x - remained amount of the sample, in decimals
<span>t_{1/2} - half-life length
</span>t - total time elapsed.

First, we have to calculate x and n. x is <span>remained amount of the sample, so if at the beginning were 16 grams of potassium-42, and now it remained 2 grams, then x is:
2 grams : x % = 16 grams : 100 %
x = 2 grams </span>× 100 percent ÷ 16 grams
x = 12.5% = 0.125

Thus:
<span>(1/2) ^{n} =x
</span>(0.5) ^{n} =0.125
n*log(0.5)=log(0.125)
n= \frac{log(0.5)}{log(0.125)}
n=3

It is known that the half-life of potassium-42 is 12.36 ≈ 12.4 hours.
Thus:
<span>t_{1/2} = 12.4
</span><span>t_{1/2} *n = t
</span>t= 12.4*3

Therefore, it must elapse 3 × 12.4 hours <span>before 16 grams of potassium-42 decays, leaving 2 grams of the original isotope</span>
