The p K a of lysine's carboxyl group, amino group, and side chain are 2.2, 9.0, and 10.5, respectively. If lysine is in a pH 13

solution, what is the net charge on each lysine molecule?

Answer:

The net charge on each lysine molecule would be -1.

Explanation:

  • <u>When the pH is above 2.2</u> the deprotonated form of the carboxylic acid is more present, while the amino group and side chain (which is also amino) remain protonated (with a positive charge):

R-COOH ↔ R-COO⁻

R-NH₃⁺

R'-NH₃⁺

Net charge = +1

  • <u>When pH is above 9.0</u>, the carboxyl group remains deprotonated, while the amino group is deprotonated and the side chain is protonated:

R-COOH ↔ R-COO⁻

R-NH₂

R'-NH₃⁺

Net charge = 0

  • <u>When pH is above 10.5</u>, the carboxyl group remains deprotonated, while both the amino group and the side chain are deprotonated:

R-COOH ↔ R-COO⁻

R-NH₂

R'-NH₂

Net charge = -1

So at pH=13 (which is above 10.5) the net charge is -1.

<span>Just solve this by using the molar mass/molecular weight, and the avogadros number in a dimensional analysis
18.46 g Cu x (1 mole/64 g) x (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/1 mole) = 1.74 x 10^23 atoms
</span><span>67.69 g NaCl x (1 mole/58 g) x (6.022 x 10^23 formula units/ 1 mole) = 7.03 x 10^23 formula units
</span>44.99 g H2O x (1 mole/18 g) x (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/ 1 mole) = 1.51 x 10^24 molecules

2. In the decomposition of potassium chlorate (KCIO3), 80.5 g of O2 form. How many grams of potassium
swat32

Answer:

Keep it simple. If all the oxygen contained in the 200 grams of potassium chlorate is produced in the decomposition, then all we have to do is find out how many grams of oxygen are there in the 200 grams. This we can do by calculating the ratio of oxygen mass to the whole. Using 39.1 for potassium, 35.45 for chlorine and 3 times 16, or 48 for the oxygen, we get a total of 122.55 grams per mole for potassium chlorate, of which 48 grams are oxygen. This ratio is 48/122.55. This ratio times the original 200 grams of the compound, gives us 78.34 grams of oxygen produced.Explanation:

<h3>Given:</h3>

V_{1} = \text{5 L}

T_{1} = \text{298 K}

V_{2} = \text{3 L}

<h3>Unknown:</h3>

T_{2}

<h3>Solution:</h3>

\dfrac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

T_{2} = T_{1} \times \dfrac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}

T_{2} = \text{298 K} \times \dfrac{\text{3 L}}{\text{5 L}}

\boxed{T_{2} = \text{179 K}}

Red mercury (II) oxide decomposes to form mercury metal and oxygen gas according to the following equation: 2HgO (s) 2Hg (l) + O
diamong [38]

hey there!:

2HgO (s) =>  2Hg (l) + O2 (g)

2 moles of HgO decompose to form 2 moles of Hg and 1 mole of O2 according to the reaction mentioned in the question.

So 4.00 moles of HgO must give 4 moles of Hg and 2 moles of O2 theoretically.

603 g of Hg = 603 / 200.6 = 3 moles

Percent yield = ( actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100

= ( 3/4) * 100

= 75 %

Hope this helps!
