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!

What is the mass of 5.00 moles of KaS04?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

I assume you meant \text{K}_{2}\text{SO}_{4}.

  • The atomic mass of potassium is 39.0983 g/mol.
  • The atomic mass of sulfur is 32.065 g/mol.
  • The atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 g/mol.

So, the formula mass of potassium sulfate is 2(39.0983)+32.065+4(15.9994)=174.2592 g/mol.

So, 5.00 moles have a mass of (5.00)(174.2592), which is about <u>870 g</u>

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Rock layer and sandwich layer is almost the same.

Why are rock layers are like sandwiches?

This geologic structure is called an anticline. Now gently bend your sandwich so that the layers are bowed downwards, thus creating a syncline. The presence of anticlines and synclines indicate strong forces that often form mountain ranges.

Which type of reactions form salts?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Neutralization reactions are the reactions type which form salts.

Explanation:

Salts are formed by ionic bonds when the oxidation states of anions and cations are equal and have opposite signs. So one should be highly electronegative in nature and another should be highly electropositive in nature. So the electropositive element will be ready to give electrons and the electronegative element will be ready to accept all the electrons given by the electropositive element. As a whole the compound will be neutrally charged by adding of equal number of positively charged and negatively charged ions.

The reduction or addition of electrons will be occurring in cations and the oxidation or removal of electrons will be occurring in anions.

So the salt formation is based on neutralization reactions.
