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.

What is the Na+ concentration in each of the following solutions:
iren [92.7K]

Sodium Sulfate = Na2(SO4) meaning there are two ions of Na+ in one mole of Sodium Sulfate the M stands for Molarity, defined as Molarity = (moles of solute)/(Liters of solution), So if the Na2SO4 solution is 3.65M that means one Liter of has 3.65 moles of Na2SO4, the stoichiometry of Na2SO4 shows that there would be two Na+ ions in solution for every one Na2SO4.

Therefore if 3.65 moles of Na2SO4 was to dissolve, it would produce 7.3 moles of Na+, and since this is still a theoretical solution, we can assume 1 L of solution.

Finally we find [Na+] = 2*3.65 = 7.3M

Use the same logic for parts b and c

How many moles of calcium chloride are contained in a 333 gram sample?
Bogdan [553]

Answer & Explanation:

The molar mass of calcium chloride is 110.98 g/mol. We can use this information to solve this problem. We can set up our equation like this..

\frac{333 g(CaCl2)}{} *\frac{1mol(CaCl2)}{110.98g(CaCl2)}

Multiply straight across on the top and straight across on the bottom.

\frac{333}{110.98}

Now divide.

\frac{333}{110.98}=3.00

So, there are 3.00 moles of calcium chloride contained in a 33 gram sample which is answer choice D.
