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.

16. A sample of nitrogen gas,
Lana71 [14]

find mol of N2 present using gas law equation

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 688/760 = 0.905 atm.

V = 100mL = 0.1L

n = ???

R = 0.082057

T = 565+273 = 838

Substitute:

0.905*0.1 = n*0.082057*838

n = 0.0905 / 68.76

n = 0.00132 mol N2

Molar mass N2 = 28 g/mol

0.00132 mol = 0.00132*28 = 0.037g N2 gas
