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.

When a car engine burns gasoline, the results of the reaction are similar to when cells burn glucose. both reactions release car
-Dominant- [34]

the answer is heat. while a car is in idol, the tailpipe gets very hot, (motorcycle, car, etc.) this also produces h20 which you can see dripping out of the tailpipe.

If the following weights have masses of 2, 4, 6 and 8 kg,
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

8 kg mass

Explanation:

As we can see in the image the weight of mass 8 kgs has a large surface area as compared to the surface area of other masses. In general, it has been observed that a wide surface area has more surface particle for heat conduction. Hence, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the surface area of heat conducting surface. Thus, the larger the surface area, the faster is the rate of heat conduction.

Hence, weight of mass 8Kg wil transfer heat a fast rate.

Convert -12.00 degrees Celsius to the unit Kelvin. 296.15 K 261.15 K -285.15 K -162.85 K
Gre4nikov [31]

To convert Celsius to kelvin, we need to know the formula. Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15. Now, we can figure out how many degrees kelvin -12 degrees Celsius is.


Kelvin = -12 + 273.15

Kelvin = 261.15

When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer ; The correct answer is : 346 m/s .

Sound is a type of longitudinal wave , which is produced when a matter compress or refracts .

Speed of sounds depends on factors like medium , density , temperature etc .

Effect of Temperature on speed of sounds :

When the temperature increases , molecules gains energy and they starts vibrating and with higher temperature vibration becomes fast . So the waves of sounds can travel faster due to faster vibrations . Hence , speed of sounds is directly proportional to the temperature or speed of sounds increases with increase in temperature .

The speed of sounds at 0⁰C is 331 \frac{m}{s}

The relation between speed of sound and temperature is given as :

V = 331 \frac{m}{s}  + ( 0.6 \frac{m}{s- ^0C} * T  )

Given : Temperature = 25 ⁰ C

Plugging values in formula =>

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + (0.6 \frac{m}{s-^0C}  * 25^0C)

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + 15 \frac{m}{s}

V =  346 \frac{m}{s}
