Explain why arginine is a basic amino acid

Chemistry

svlad2 [7]3 years ago

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.

Will a double replacement reaction occur if a potassium hydroxide solution is mixed with a lead(II) nitrate solution? Briefly ex
ohaa [14]
No - a precipitation will occur though. Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, so the potassium and nitrate ions will remain spectator ions and stay in solution. Lead (II) hydroxide is not soluble, and will precipitate out of solution to form a solid product.

The following substances dissolve when added to water. Classify the substances according to the strongest solute-solvent interac
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

CuCl2-Ion-dipole forces

CuSO4-Ion-dipole forces

NH3-Dipole-dipole forces

CH3OH-Dipole-dipole forces

Explanation:

Water consists of a dipole. The water molecule contains a positive end and a negative end. The positive ion attracts the negative dipole of water while the positive dipole in water interacts with the negative ion of an ionic substance. This explains the dissolution of ionic substances in water.

Copper II chloride and copper sulphate are ionic substances hence they dissolve by the mechanism described above.

Molecules consisting of dipoles dissolves by interaction of the molecule's dipoles with the dipoles in water. For example, methanol interacts with water through hydrogen bonding which is involves molecular dipoles

Describe the Earth's layers in relation to density
jok3333 [9.3K]
<span>Our Earth is structured around the densities of the materials which make it up.One property of density is that it determines the way materials in a mixture are sorted. This property of matter results in the layering and structure of Earth's atmosphere, water, crust, and interior.</span>
