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

Over [174]

Answer:

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Oxygen is required for respiration whereby energy is released from natural occurring nutrients accompanied by the release of water and carbon dioxide. carbon dioxideis also required by plants to photosynthesise.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the troposphere supports life as by enabling respiration in organisms and photosynthesise in plants can. Without oxygen in an environment, only life forms that live by anaerobic respiration will thrive. This affects a regions carrying capacity

For the reaction a2 + b2 → 2ab, ea(fwd) = 105 kj/mol and ea(rev) = 77 kj/mol. assuming the reaction occurs in one step, calculat
Lady bird [3.3K]
Answer is: 28 kJ.
Chemical reaction: A₂ + B₂ ⇄ 2AB.
Ea(forward) = 105 kJ/mol.
Ea(reverse) = 77 kJ/mol.
ΔH(reaction) = ?
<span>The enthalpy change of reaction is the change in the energy of the reactants to the products.
</span>ΔH(reaction) = Ea(forward) - Ea(reverse).
ΔH(reaction) = 105 kJ/mol - 77 kJ/mol.
ΔH(reaction) = 28 kJ/mol; this is endothermic reaction (ΔH <span>> 0).</span>

Complete and balance the molecular equation, including the phases, for the reaction of aqueous potassium sulfate, k2so4, and aqu
Tju [1.3M]
The reaction between K₂SO₄(aq) and SrI₂(aq) produces KI(aq) and SrSO₄(s) as products. 

The reaction is 
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s) 

To balance the equation both side of the reaction should have same number of atoms in each element.

Right hand side of the reaction has 1 K, 1 I, 1 Sr, 1 S and 4 O atoms while 2 K, 2 I, 1 Sr,1 S and 4 O present in left hand side of the reaction. 
Hence, number of I atoms and number of K atoms are not balanced. 
To balance the K atoms we should add 2 before KI. Then I atoms will be 2 at the right hand side. 

Hence, the balanced reaction equation is
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → 2KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s)
