Answer:

a) +1

b) 0

c) -1

d) -2

Explanation:

The aspartic acid is one of the twenty amino acids that make up proteins.

The equilibrium is in the image. pka for this molecule are 1.88, 3.65 and 9.60. A higher pH than pka will have as predominant form the molecule in the right and vice versa. The net charge in each molecule is in red.

Thus, for a pH of 1.0, as the pH is lower than first pka, predominant form will have a net charge of +1. If pH is 3.0, predominant form will have a net charge of 0. If pH is 6.0 predominant form will be the -1 and for a pH of 11.0, predominant form is the -2.

I hope it helps!

The compound trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, is a weak base when dissolved in water. Write the Kb expression for the weak base equilibr
Zina [86]

Answer:

Kb = [OH⁻] . [C₃H₉NH⁺] / [ C₃H₉N ]

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction of trimethylamine when it is dissolved in water is:

C₃H₉N  +  H₂O ⇄ C₃H₉NH⁺ + OH⁻   Kb

1 mol of trimethylamine catches a proton from the water in order to produce trimethylamonium.

It is a base, because it give OH⁻ to the medium

Expression for Kb (Molar concentration)

Kb = [OH⁻] . [C₃H₉NH⁺] / [ C₃H₉N ]

What substance is oxidized in the reaction Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Mg

Explanation:

Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu

Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

<em>Consider the following reactions. </em>

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Two rigid transformations are used to map TriangleJKL to TriangleMNQ. The first is a translation of vertex L to vertex Q. What i
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The second transformation is a rotation around (point) L.

Explanation:

Generally, a rigid transformation is used to change only the position of a figure while the shape remains the same. In order to map a triangle (ΔJKL) to another triangle (ΔMNQ), two rigid transformations were employed. In the first transformation, the vertex L was mapped to the vertex Q. Therefore, the second transformation will definitely involve the rotation around (point) L. This will complete the two rigid transformations.

Living things respire to stay alive. In the mitochondria, sugar is combined with oxygen to produce energy, water and carbon diox
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells. It is a process in which  sugar is combined with oxygen to produce energy, water and carbon dioxide. This is the major process by which energy is released in living organisms.

Aerobic respiration involves a series of chemical reactions.  These reactions commence with sugar and oxygen then it produces  carbon dioxide and water according to the reaction equation; C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
