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!

60g ethane requires 7x32= 224g oxygen

here ethane is in excess.oxygen will be fully consumed

hence

300g oxygen will consume

224

=

80.36

g

ethane

leaving (270-80.36)= 189.64 g ethane.

By the Balanced eqn

60g ethane produces 4x44 g CO2

hence amount of CO2 produced =

and its no. of moles will be

=5.36 where 44 is the molar mass of Carbon dioxide

hope this helps

How does increasing temperature increase the number of reactions?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction

Hey bud !
You were close congrats !
the only problem i saw was the units part at the end.
