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.

What volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed to prepare eight 3 ounce bottles of 10% tca solution?

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .

Explanation:

Let the volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid solution be x

Volume of required 10% trichloroacetic acid solution =8 bottles of 3 ounces

= 24 ounces = 709.68 mL

(1 ounces = 29.57 mL)

Amount of trichloroacetic acid in 24% solution of x volume of solution will be equal to amount of trichloroacetic acid in 10% solution of volume 709.68 mL.

$x\times \frac{24}{100}=709.68 mL\times \frac{10}{100}$

x = 295.7 mL

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .
