Why amino acids are soluble in pH=3 or pH=10 solutions more than it dissolves in pH=7 solutions?

Answer:

Solubility is Affected by pH

The pH of an aqueous solution can affect the solubility of the solute. By changing the pH of the solution, you can change the charge state of the solute.

At pH extremes, the amino acid molecules mostly carry a net charge, thus increasing their solubility in polar solvent. At very low or very high pH, the amino acid molecules have increased charge, thus form more salt bonds with water solvent molecules.

An isoelectric point is the pH at which an amino acid exists as its zwitterion. A zwitterion is the dipolar ionic form of an amino acid. ... If the pH is lower (in acidic conditions) than the isoelectric point then the amino acid acts as a base and accepts a proton at the amino group. This gives it a positive change.

An amino acid is usually more soluble in aqueous solvent at pH extremes than it is at a pH near the isolelectric point of the amino acid. (Note that this does not mean that the amino acid is insoluble at a pH near its pI.)

Which of the following statements correctly explains this phenomenon?

(Select all that apply.)

The neutral charge of an amino acid molecule at its isoelectric point will make the molecule hydrophobic.

At pH extremes, the amino acid molecules mostly carry a net charge, thus increasing their solubility in polar solvent.

At very low or very high pH, the amino acid molecules have increased charge, thus form more salt bonds with water solvent molecules.

At pH values far from the isoelectric point, individual amino acid molecules have greater kinetic energy, thus more readily stay in solution.

Marvin records scientific data about Lake Superior. For which property has Marvin forgotten to use an SI unit of measurement?
Illusion [34]

Answer: low temperature

Explanation:-

S.I or M.K.S is a system for defining physical units as meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin or celcius, candela, and mole together with a set of prefixes to indicate multiplication or division by a power of ten for measuring length, mass, time , current, temperature and amount of substance respectively.

Given :

lake length = 563 kilometers = 563\times 10^3m

High temperature =76.5^0F

Low temperature =-6.3^0C

annual precipitation =762 mm= 762\times 10^{-3}m

Thus low temperature in units of Fahrenheit is not an S.I unit of measurement.
