The nucleoside adenosine exists in a protonated form with a pKa of 3.8. The percentage of the protonated form at pH 4.8 is close
1 answer:
Answer:
Ok:
Explanation:
So, you can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for this:
pH = pKa + log() where A- is the conjugate base of the acid. In other words, A- is the deprotonated form and HA is the protonated.
We can solve that
1 = log() and so 10 =
or 10HA = A-. For every 1 protonated form of adenosine (HA), there are 10 A-. So, the percent in the protonated form will be 1(1+10) or 1/11 which is close to 9 percent.

Looking at the information given in the description, the experiment is testing for the effects of the different salts on the growth of the plants.
This means that the type of salt is the independent variable, or the variable being manipulated and tested.
To ensure fair results, some parts of the experiment would need to be kept the same, which is the control. The only answer choice that makes sense in this instance is A. water.
