Answer:

0!

Explanation:

  • You need to search your pKa values for Asn (2.14, 8.75), Gly (2.35, 9.78) and Leu(2.33, 9.74), the first value corresponding to -COOH, the second to -NH3 (a third value would correspond to an R group, but in this case that does not apply), and we'll build a table to find the charges for your possible dissociated groups at indicated pH (7), we need to remember that having a pKa lower than the pH will give us a negative charge, having a pKa bigger than pH will give us a positive charge:            

           

                   -COOH         -NH3              

pH 7------------------------------------------------------              

Asn               -                      +

Gly                -                      +

Leu               -                      +

  • Now that we have our table we'll sketch our peptide's structure:

<em>HN-Asn-Gly-Leu-COOH</em>

This will allow us to see what groups will be free to react to the pH's value, and which groups are not reacting to pH because are forming the bond between amino acids. In this particular example only -NH group in Ans and -COOH in Leu are exposed to pH, we'll look for these charges in the table and add them to find the net charge:

+1 (HN-Asn)

-1 (Leu-COOH)

=0

The net charge is 0!

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction: a0Ca + a1CO2 + a2O2 → a3CaCO3
VashaNatasha [74]
The chemical equation without coefficients is:


Ca + CO2 + O2 --------> Ca CO3


You can balance that equation by trial an error.


This is the chemical equation balanced:


2Ca + 2CO2 + O2 --------> 2Ca CO3


Count the atoms on each side to check the balance


Atom    Left side         right side

Ca         2                     2 

C           2                     2

O          2*2 + 2 = 6       2*3 = 6


Then those are the coefficients:

a0 = 2

a1 = 2

a2 = 1

a3 = 2

How many molecular of H2O and O2 are present in 8.5g of H2O2 ?​
Mama L [17]

2H2O+O2--->2H2O2  

8.5 gm H2O2=0.25 mole  

hence H2O is also 0.25 mole i.e.4.5 gm  

O2is 0.125 mole i.e.4 gm

What label is given to an orbital with quantum numbers n=4 and l=1?
shtirl [24]

The principal quantum number, <span>nn</span>, designates the principal electron shell. Because n describes the most probable distance of the electrons from the nucleus, the larger the number n is, the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the larger the size of the orbital, and the larger the atom is. n can be any positive integer starting at 1, as <span><span>n=1</span><span>n=1</span></span> designates the first principal shell (the innermost shell). The first principal shell is also called the ground state, or lowest energy state. This explains why <span>nn</span> can not be 0 or any negative integer, because there exists no atoms with zero or a negative amount of energy levels/principal shells. When an electron is in an excited state or it gains energy, it may jump to the second principle shell, where <span><span>n=2</span><span>n=2</span></span>. This is called absorption because the electron is "absorbing" photons, or energy. Known as emission, electrons can also "emit" energy as they jump to lower principle shells, where n decreases by whole numbers. As the energy of the electron increases, so does the principal quantum number, e.g., n = 3 indicates the third principal shell, n = 4 indicates the fourth principal shell, and so on.

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. Which postulate of ki
ipn [44]

The kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature. Greater the temperature higher will be the average kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is related to the temperature as:

KE = 3/2 kT

where k = Boltzmann constant

T = temperature

In the given example, since the temperature of O2 gas is maintained at room temperature, the average KE will also remain constant.

The fifth postulate of the kinetic molecular theory which states that the temperature of the gas depends on the average KE of the particles of the gas explains the above observation.
