Answer:

-0.1051

Explanation:

First, we need to find the degree of dissociation (α) of each of the groups using the Handerson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log (α/1-α)

log (α/1-α) =  pH - pKa

log (1-α/α) = pKa - pH

1-α/α =10^{pKa - pH}

1-α = 10^{pKa - pH}*α

α = \frac{1}{10^{pKa-pH} +1}

So, fo the α-carboxyl group:

α = \frac{1}{10^{-6.03} +1}

α = 1.0000

And for the α-amino group

α = \frac{1}{10^{0.93} +1}

α = 0.1051

In the ionization, the α-carboxyl group goes from neutral to a negative ion with charge -1, and the α-amino group goes from a positive ion with charge +1 to a neutral compound. So, the net charge is how many ions are presented multiplied by the charge.

For the first one, the value of α is the value of ions, but for the second, α represents the neutral, so the ions are 1-α:

-1*(1.000) + (+1)*(1-0.1051) = -0.1051

Nata [24]

Option B is correct

K = Kp /Kr

The given equation indicating, the product containing 6 moles of proton whereas the reactant contains 2 mole of bismuth and 3 mole of hydrogen sulphide.

Hence, in reaction B there are 2 mole of bismuth and 3 mole of hydrogen sulphide reacting to produce 6 moles of proton. whereas the concentration of Bi2S3 is not considered as it is present in solid phase.

The entropy of an exothermic reaction decreases. This reaction will be spontaneous under which of the following temperatures?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:Low temperatures

Explanation:

∆G= ∆H-T∆S

If ∆H is negative (exothermic reaction), then in order to maintain ∆G<0 which is the condition for spontaneity; T must decrease. This is because, decrease in T will keep the difference of ∆H and T∆S at a negative value in order to satisfy the above stated condition for spontaneity.
