Peptide decomposition is one of the key processes of digestion, where a peptide bond is broken into an acid group and an amine group. We can describe this reaction as follows: Peptide(aq) + H20(1) Sacid group(aq) + amine group(aq) If we place 1.5 mol peptide into 1.0 L water, what will be the equilibrium concentrations of all species in this reaction? Assume the K value for this reaction is 3.1 × 10-³. [peptide] = M %3D [acid group] M [amine group] M
