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.

Helium gas diffuses 4 times as fast as an unknown gas. What is relative molecular mass of the gas​
Inessa05 [86]

The relative molecular mass of the gas​ : 64 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Helium rate = 4x an unknown gas

Required

The relative molecular mass of the gas​

Solution

Graham's Law

\tt \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1} }

r₁=4 x r₂

r₁ = Helium rate

r₂ = unknown gas rate

M₁= relative molecular mass of Helium = 4 g/mol

M₂ = relative molecular mass of the gas​

Input the value :

\tt \dfrac{4r_2}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{4} }\\\\16=\dfrac{M_2}{4}\\\\M_2=64~g/mol

A sample of matter was given the following description: The sample of the pure substance is blue in color with an octahedral sha
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

A crystalline solid

Explanation:

Most solids form with a regular arrangement of their particles because the overall attractive interactions between particles are maximized, and the total intermolecular energy is minimized, when the particles pack in the most efficient manner. The regular arrangement at an atomic level is often reflected at a macroscopic level.  Liquids dont use to have this kind of arrangements or shapes.

In a titration of 0.5 M HCl and an unknown concentration NaOH, 25.0 ml of NaOH was required to completely neutralize 25.0 ml of
baherus [9]
When an acid is neutralized by a base, that means moles of H+ = moles of OH-

moles of H+ = 0.5 M * 0.025 L HCl = 0.0125 moles H+

moles of OH- should be equal to 0.0125 moles, so
0.0125 moles = (x) * 0.025 L NaOH

x is the concentration of NaOH, which we want to find.

x = 0.5 M

The correct answer is C) 0.5 M.
