Answer :

arginine is basic amino acid because it's side chain group contains a full positive charge at the physiological pH. Histidine is also considered basic but it can have a positive or a neutral charge on its side chain group at the physiological pH

Answer:

There are three amino acids that have basic side chains at neutral pH. These are arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), and histidine (His). Their side chains contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base. Their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, gaining a positive charge in the process.

Part iv. Is the neutralization reaction enthalpy favored?
Burka [1]

Yes, it is a special case of enthalpy of neutralization.  

The enthalpy of neutralization (ΔHn) is the change in enthalpy that occurs when one equivalent of an acid and one equivalent of a base undergo a neutralization reaction to form water and a salt.

The standard enthalpy change of neutralization is the enthalpy change when solutions of an acid and an alkali react together under standard conditions to produce 1 mole of water.

A silver cube with an edge length of 2.42 cm and a gold cube with an edge length of 2.75 cm are both heated to 85.4 ∘C and place
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of silver cube = 2.42³ = 14.17 cm³

mass of silver cube = volume x density

= 14.17 x 10.49 = 148.64 gm

Volume of gold cube = 2.75³ = 20.8  cm³

mass of gold cube =  20.8 x 19.3 = 401.44 gm

specific heat of silver and gold are .24 and .129 J /g°C

mass of 112 mL water = 112 g

Heat absorbed = heat lost = mass x specific heat x temperature fall or rise

Heat lost by metals

= 148.64 x .24 x ( 85.4 -T) + 401.44 x .129 x ( 85.4 - T )

= (35.67 + 51.78 ) x ( 85.4 - T )

87.45 x ( 85.4 - T )

= 7468.23 - 87.45 T

Heat gained by water

= 112 x 1 x ( T - 20.5 )

= 112 T - 2296

Heat lost = heat gained

7468.23 - 87.45 T = 112 T - 2296

199.45 T = 9764.23

T = 48.95° C
