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!

How to separate aluminum powder and ethyl alcohol mixture?
ddd [48]

Answer:

            By Filtration using Filter Paper

Explanation:

                  Aluminium Powder is made from Aluminium with the help of mechanical means. This powder is mainly used in paints, cosmetics, fingerprint powders, thermite, rocket fuels e.t.c.

                  Also, Aluminium Powder is insoluble in water and organic solvents. Therefore, when mixed in Ethanol it will form a suspension. The Aluminium Powder can therefore be easily separated by simple Filtration using Filter paper.

How will you prepare 10mL of 0.050M HCl from a 0.10M solution of HCl
vichka [17]
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

(0.050M)*(10 mL) = (0.10M)*(x)

x = 5 mL

You would take 5 mL of the 0.10 M solution of HCl and add 5 mL of deionized water. Therefore, the total volume will be 10 mL and it will have a molarity of 0.050.

Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.

Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.

Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is the force that stretches the liquid surface. This force acts normal to the surface. It is the downward force that acts on the surface of the liquids which is due to the cohesive forces of the liquids.

The water molecules are bonded by a strong hydrogen bond force which is between hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. At the surface the water molecules are attracted strongly by other water molecules which lies below the surface and are stretched at the surface. Thus the water molecules at the surface acts differently than in the bulk liquid.

Mercury have a strong cohesive force than the water and have a higher surface tension force than the water.

Surface water acquires minimum surface area, hence acquiring spherical shape of water.
