<u>Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM</u>
Given:
Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0
Let HA = acetic acid
A- = sodium acetate
Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)
pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75
Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]
[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77
[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)
From (1) and (2)
[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM
[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM
[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM
4 Hydrogen Atoms should be correct. Because the 4 infront of it signifies the amount of hydrogen. It would also be 4 hydrogen atoms if it were written as H4N3, because the 4 is still around the H (as long as the 4 is under scored)
Answer:
6
Explanation:
To determine the number of neutrons we round 10.8 to 11 and subtract the atomic number (5) and get 6; therefore, boron has 6 neutrons.
Answer:
See detailed mechanism in the image attached
Explanation:
The mechanism shown in detail below is the synthesis of serine in steps.
The first step is the attack of the ethoxide ion base on the diethyl acetamidomalonate substrate giving the enolate and formaldehyde.
The second step is the protonation of the oxyanion from (1) above to form an alcohol as shown.
Acid hydrolysis of the alcohol formed in (3) above yields a tetrahedral intermediate, a dicarboxyamino alcohol.
Decarboxylation of this dicarboxyamino alcohol yields serine, the final product as shown in the image attached.
