Chemistry

c. Isoleucine has a carbon “branched” closer to the alpha carbon than does leucine.

The structure of leucine is CH3CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH2CH(NH2)COOH.

The structure of isoleucine is CH3CH2CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH(NH2)COOH.

In leucine, the CH3 group is <em>two carbons away</em> <em>from</em> the α carbon; in isoleucine, the CH3 group is on the carbon <em>next to</em> the α carbon.

Thus, <em>isoleucine</em> has the closer branched carbon.

“One is charged, the other is not” is i<em>ncorrect</em>. Both compounds are uncharged.

“One has more H-bond acceptors than the other” is <em>incorrect</em>. Each acid has two H-bond acceptors — the N in the amino and the O in the carbonyl group.

“They have different numbers of carbon atoms” is <em>incorrec</em>t. They each contain six carbon atoms.

Acetic acid has a pKa of 4.74. Buffer A: 0.10 M HC2H3O2, 0.10 M NaC2H3O2 Buffer B: 0.30 M HC2H3O2, 0.30 M NaC2H3O2 Buffer C: 0.5

Answer:

Buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.

Buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.

Explanation:

An effective weak acid-conjugate base buffer should have pH equal to pK_{a} of the weak acid. For buffers with the same pH, higher the concentrations of the components in a buffer, higher will the buffer capacity.

Acetic acid is a weak acid and CH_{3}COO^{-} is the conjugate base So, all the given buffers are weak acid-conjugate base buffers. The pH of these buffers are expressed as (Henderson-Hasselbalch):

pH=pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)+log\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}

pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)=4.74

Buffer A:    pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.10}{0.10})=4.74

Buffer B:   pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.30}{0.30})=4.74

Buffer C:   pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.10}{0.50})=4.04

So, both buffer A and buffer B has same pH value which is also equal to pK_{a} . Buffer B has higher concentrations of the components as compared to buffer A, Hence, buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.

The pH of buffer C is far away from pK_{a} . Therefore, buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.
