Answer:

Net charge in serine at pH equal to 8.30 is "0"

Explanation:

  • At pH > pK_{a}, carboxyl group exists as -CO_{2}^{-} (charged)
  • At pH < pK_{a}, carboxyl group exists as -COOH (neutral)
  • At pH > pK_{a}, amino group exists as -NH_{2} (neutral)
  • At pH < pK_{a}, amino group exists as -NH_{3}^{+} (charged)
  • So, at pH = 8.30, both carboxyl and amino group exists in charged state.
  • Net charge in serine at pH equal to 8.30 is "0".
  • Structure of serine at pH equal to 8.30 has been shown below.

A gas has a volume of 3.25 liters at 54 C and 231 kPa of pressure. At what temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of
Firdavs [7]

Answer: 318 K

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 231 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 168 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 3.25 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = 4.35 L

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 54^oC=273+54=327K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{231\times 3.25}{327}=\frac{168\times 4.35}{T_2}

T_2=318K

At 318 K of temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of space and have a pressure of 168 kPa

Which of these are elimination reactions? Check all that apply.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

C3H7OH → C3H6 + H20

Explanation:

If we look at the reactant and the product we will realize that the reactant is an alcohol while the product is an alkene. The reaction involves acid catalysed elimination of water from an alcohol.

Water is a good leaving group, hence an important synthetic route to alkenes is the acid catalysed elimination of water from alcohols. Hence the conversion represented by C3H7OH → C3H6 + H20 is an elimination reaction in which water is the leaving group.
