Answer:

C. Oxygen

Explanation:

Oxygen will not form a polar covalent bond with another oxygen atom because when 2 atoms of the same element bond, it is a nonpolar covalent bond.

Since they are the same element, the 2 oxygens have the same electronegativity and will share their electrons equally.

Polar covalent bonds involve 2 atoms that will share electrons unequally

The side chain of histidine has a pKa of about 6. What percent of histidine side chains would be deprotonated at pH 7.5

Setler [38]

The percent of histidine side chains would be deprotonated at pH 7.5 is 5.77 %.

The term pKa refers to the negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant (Ka). The pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.

Hence;

Ka = Antilog (-6) = $1 * 10^-6$

[H^+] = Antilog (-7.5) = $3 * 10^-8 M$

We now have to use the formula;

α = $\sqrt{} \frac{Ka}{[H^+] }$

α = $\sqrt{} \frac{ 1 *10^-6}{3 *10^-8 }$

α = 5.77 %

Hence, the percent of histidine side chains would be deprotonated at pH 7.5 is 5.77 %.

What is the simplified value of the exponent expression 16^1/4

Sliva [168]

Answer: 2

Justitification:

1) Property:

$a^{(1/b)} = \sqrt[b]{a}$

Therefore:

$16^{1/4}= \sqrt[4]{16}$

2) 16 = 2⁴

3) Property

$\sqrt[n]{a^n} =a^{n/n}=a$

Therefore:

$\sqrt[4]{2^4} =2^{4/4}=2$
