<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 4.61
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5B%5Ctext%7Bconjuagate%20base%7D%5D%7D%7B%5B%5Ctext%7Bacid%7D%5D%7D%29)
We are given:
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70
= moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles
= Moles of acid = 4.00 moles
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61
Answer: The concentrations of A , B , and C at equilibrium are 0.1583 M, 0.2583 M, and 0.1417 M.
Explanation:
The reaction equation is as follows.

Initial : 0.3 0.4 0
Change: -x -x x
Equilbm: (0.3 - x) (0.4 - x) x
We know that, relation between standard free energy and equilibrium constant is as follows.

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.


x = 0.1417
Hence, at equilibrium
= 0.1583 M
= 0.2583 M
Answer:
Activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol.
Explanation:
According to Arrhenius equation-
, where k is rate constant, A is pre-exponential factor,
is activation energy, R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.
As A is identical for both peptide therefore-
![\frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=e^\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-E_{a}^{ala-pro}]}{RT}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bk_%7Bala-pro%7D%7D%7Bk_%7Bphe-pro%7D%7D%3De%5E%5Cfrac%7B%5BE_%7Ba%7D%5E%7Bphe-pro%7D-E_%7Ba%7D%5E%7Bala-pro%7D%5D%7D%7BRT%7D)
Here
, T = 298 K , R = 8.314 J/(mol.K) and 
So, ![\frac{0.05}{0.005}=e^{\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-(60000J/mol)]}{8.314J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}\times 298K}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B0.05%7D%7B0.005%7D%3De%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B%5BE_%7Ba%7D%5E%7Bphe-pro%7D-%2860000J%2Fmol%29%5D%7D%7B8.314J.mol%5E%7B-1%7D.K%5E%7B-1%7D%5Ctimes%20298K%7D%7D)
(rounded off to two significant digit)
So, activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol
