Interpretation:
The stronger conjugate base obtained from given set of acids with
Concept Introduction:
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
Stronger the acid weaker it’s conjugate base and vice versa.
The degree to which a weak acid ionizes depends on the concentration of the acid and the equilibrium constant for the ionization.

- A pentapeptide on complete hydrolysis yields 3 moles of glycine (R=H), 1 mole of alanine (R=CH3) and 1 mole of serine (R=CH2OH). On partial hydrolysis, the fragments are ala-gly, gly-ala and gly-ser. The pentapeptide is negative to the Sanger reaction. Draw a possible structure for the pentapeptide.arrow_forwardWhat is the net average charge on the predominant form of lysine at pH values of (a) 2.0, (b) 5.0and (c) 7.0?arrow_forwardA sample (660 mg) of a (homo)oligomeric protein of molecular weight of 132,000 Da was treated with an excess of 2,4-dinitro-fluorobenzene until the reaction was complete. The peptide bonds were then completely hydrolyzed by heating with 6 M hydrochloric acid. The hydrolysate was found to contain 5.5 mg of the following compound. NO2 O2N- NH НООС 2,4-Dinitrophenyl derivatives of the amino groups of other amino acids were not found. a). How many polypeptide chains are there in this protein? Show your work. b). Assuming that each of the subunit contains entirely a-helices, how many a-helical turns would there be, approximately, in each of the subunit?

- The ionization of p-nitrophenol is shown below (pKa = 7.0): a. Identify the weak acid and conjugate base. b. At pH 7, what are the relative concentrations of ionized and un-ionized p-nitrophenol? c. If enough concentrated hydrochloric acid is added to a solution of p-nitrophenol to lower the pH from 7 to 5, what will happen to the relative concentrations of the ionized and un-ionized forms? d. Ionized p-nitrophenol has a yellow color, while the un-ionized form is colorless. The yellow color can be measured using a spectrophotometer at 400nm. In order to determine the total amount of p-nitrophenol in a solution, would you perform the spectrophotometer reading at an acidic or basic pH? Clearly explain why? e. A solution of p-nitrophenol at pH 7.95 was found to have an A400 of 0.255 . What is the total concentration (in µM) of p-nitrophenol (ionized plus un-ionized) in the solution? The molar extinction coefficient of p-nitrophenol is 18,500 M-1cm-1 and the pKa is 7.arrow_forwardMonosaccharides have the general molecular formula of (CH₂0)m, where m is the number carbons. (m=5 is a pentose, such as xylose & m=6 is a hexose such as glucose.) Starch is a polysaccharide of thousands of glucose monomers, linked by an oxygen (-0-) bridge. The general molecular formula for starch is usually taken as (C6H1005) when n is the degree of polymerization. When formed from glucose a water molecule is released for every step in the polymerization process; when hydrolyzed (de-polymerized) a water molecule is necessary. The de-polymerization reaction can be considered as: (C6H1005)n + α H₂O → B (C6H1206) Balance the stoichiometry, i.e., find expressions for a & ß (that may involve the degree of polymerization, n). If we start with 1 kg of starch & totally hydrolyze it to glucose then how much glucose do we get [in kg & kg.mole]? Do the calculations assuming that n=1,000.
