9 amino acids (alanine, cysteine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, valine) have no hydrogen donor or acceptor atoms in their side chains.
Answer:
Are basic:
[OH⁻] = 3.13x10⁻⁷M and [H₃O⁺] = 9.55x10⁻⁹M
Explanation:
A solution is basic when pH = - log [H₃O⁺] is higher than 7.
It is possible to convert [OH⁻] to [H₃O⁺] using:
[H₃O⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [OH⁻]
a. [OH⁻] = 3.13x10⁻⁷M
[H₃O⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [3.13x10⁻⁷M]
[H₃O⁺] = 3.19x10⁻⁸M
pH = - log [H₃O⁺] = 7.50
[OH⁻] = 3.13x10⁻⁷M is basic
b. pH = -log [H₃O⁺] = - log 0.000747M = 3.13.
This solution is not basic
c. [H₃O⁺] = 9.55x10⁻⁹M
pH = 8.02
This solution is also basic.
