Answer:

9.5

Explanation:

Electrophoresis is a separation technique which involves the passage and the use of electric current in separating amino acid mixtures. The positively charged protein moves to the negative electrode while the negatively charged protein moves to the positive electrode which is in accordance to the law of attraction.

Proteins however perform optimally at the right temperature and pH. Studies shows that the optimum pH to separate a mixture of lysine, arginine, and cysteine using the electrophoresis method of separation is around 9.5

What will happen to the chemical equilibrium if NH4Cl is added to this solution?

Tresset [83]

The answer to this item depends entirely to the chemical reaction. If the compound, NH4Cl, is in the left hand side of the reaction, when it is added, the reaction will shift to the left. In the same manner, when the compound is in the right-hand side of the reaction, the reaction will shift to the right.

This happens because initially the reaction is in equilibrium and adding another compound to it will most likely lead to the shifting of the reaction.

Calculate the acid dissociation constant of a weak monoprotic acid if a 0.5M solution of this acid gives a hydrogen-ion concentr

RUDIKE [14]

Let the acid be HA.
The chemical formula for this acid will be the following:

$HA \rightleftharpoons H^{+}+A^{-}$

The formula for the acid dissociation constant will be the following:

 $K_a= \dfrac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}$

We know [H+]=0.0001 (it's given).
However, we must find [A-] and [HA] in order to solve for the constant.

We find that [A-]=[H+] by using a electroneutrality equation.
Also, we can create a concentration equation to find [HA].

 $0.5M=[A^-]+[HA]$
$[HA]=0.5M-[A^-]$

Now, we can find the acid dissociation constant.

 $K_a= \dfrac{[H^+][A^-]}{0.5M-[A^-]}$

$= \dfrac{0.0001*0.0001}{0.5-0.0001} = 2.0*10^{-8}$

grigory [225]

Answer:

Distance between the carbon atom = 491 pm

Explanation:

Given:

1 pm = 1 × 10⁻¹² m

Distance between the carbon atom = 2.81 × 10⁻⁸ cm

Find:

Distance in picometers

Computation:

Distance between the carbon atom = 2.81 × 10⁻⁸ cm = 491 X 10⁻¹² m

Distance between the carbon atom = 491 pm

Which of the following is the most recent addition to the accepted model of the atom? (2 points) Atoms are indivisible particles

Georgia [21]

The accepted model of an atom was made by Schrodinger, which is known as the quantum mechanical model. Unlike Bohr's model, electrons are represented as a cloud and not small balls orbiting the nucleus. There is no define path of electrons in Schrodinger's model, but it can predict the odds of where an electron is located.

The answer to your question is then Electrons form a cloud around the nucleus.
