The pKa of an acid depends partly on its environment. Predict the effect of each of the following environmental changes on the p

Ka of a glutamic acid side chain. (a) A lysine side chain is brought into proximity. (b) The terminal carboxyl group of the protein is brought into close proximity.

Answer:

A. Decrease

B. Increase

Explanation:

A. A lysine side chain is brought into proximity:

lysine is basic in its nature, it would have to stabilize the electrostatic interaction and also weak interactions existing among the acidic amino acids and hydrogen bond. This would then reduce or decrease the pH and thus pKa of the protein.

B. The effect of this on pKA is an increase on the pKA. The carboxyl group is acidic. When it is removed, it would then cause the pKA to be increased. There would be accumulation of more negative change by basic amino acids increasing the pKA.

One g of U-235 produces approximately how much more energy than 1 g of coal? (a) 3,000 times, (b) 19,000 times, (c) 80,000 times
Artist 52 [7]

2,000,000 times

Explanation:

One gram of U-235 produces approximately 2,000,000 times more energy than one gram of coal.

The energy in 1g of U-235 is a nuclear energy whereas energy obtained from coal is chemical energy by combustion. During combustion chemical bonds are broken between the carbon atoms.

  • Uranium decays the radioactive fission.
  • When it is bombarded with particles, an artificial disintegration is induced.
  • Most nuclear reactions are chain reactions in which one step leads to another until stability is produced.
  • Each step produces energy for the next process.

How many molecules of H₂S are required to form 79.0 g of sulfur according to the following reaction? Assume excess SO2.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

9.89 x 10²³ molecules H₂S

Explanation:

To find the molecules of H₂S, you need to (1) convert grams S to moles S (via the atomic mass of sulfur), then (2) convert moles S to moles H₂S (via the mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles H₂S to molecules H₂S (via Avogadro's Number). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Atomic Mass (S): 32.065 g/mol

2 H₂S(s) + SO₂(g) -----> 3 S(s) + 2 H₂O(l)

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

79.0 g S           1 mole            2 moles H₂S          6.022 x 10²³ molecules
---------------  x  ---------------  x  ----------------------  x  -------------------------------------  =
                        32.065 g            3 moles S                          1 mole

=  9.89 x 10²³ molecules H₂S

All atoms of an element are ________?
mote1985 [20]
Possibly different But here I hope this helps Recall that neutrons, along with protons, make up the nucleus. Since neutrons have no electrical charge, they do not affect the chemical behavior. ... Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
