Amino acids carry two functional groups: an amine group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). They are different because they have different side chains (R groups) attached to an alpha carbon that is specific to each amino acid.

What is the significance of wanting to know what the pH of a solution is?
balu736 [363]

pH is an important parameter for many reactions to take place in solution and in biological systems. It is related to the concentration of H⁺ ions through the following expression:

pH = 1/[H⁺] = -log [H⁺]

Wanting to know the pH of a solution is equivalent to knowing the amount of hydrogen ions present. But the pH scale is more convenient than the concentration scale because pH usually takes values between 0 and 14.

  • When pH < 7 the solution is acid.
  • When pH = 7 the solution is neutral (like pure water).
  • When pH > 7 the solution is basic.

What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 11?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

\huge 1 × {10}^{-11} \: \: M

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]

Since we are finding the H+ ions we find the antilog of the pH

So we have

11 =  -  log({H}^{+})  \\ {H}^{+} =  {10}^{ - 11}

We have the final answer as

1 × {10}^{-11} \: \: M

Hope this helps you
