20. Properties of a Buffer The amino acid glycine is often used as the main ingredient of a buffer in biochemical experi- ments. The amino group of glycine, which has a pKa of 9.6, can exist either in the protonated form (-NH3 or as the free base (-NH2), because of the reversible equilibrium (a) In what pH range can glycine be used as an effective buffer due to its amino group? (b) In a 0.1 M solution of glycine at...
Alanine (H2NCH(CH3) is a common amino acid that has a basic amino group. A) Write an equilibrium for the reaction of alanine acting as a Bronsted base with a water molecule. (Ka of protonated amino group = 1.349 x 10 -10 B) Calculate the Kb of the amino group C) Calculate the pOH of a 0.025M solution of alanine in water D) Calculate the pH value of a 0.025M solution of alanine in water E) Describe how the equilibrium would...
Need help on questions 1-3 Henderson-Hasselbalch: pH=pka + Log( [base]/(acid] ) 1. The value of Ka of nitrous acid (HNO2) is 4.6 x 104 M. Calculate the pH and the concentration of [H3O+] in a 0.02M aqueous solution of HNO2(aq). 2. Label conjugate acid-base pairs: HNO2(aq) + H2O โ H30* + NO2 (aq) 3. What will happen to the reaction equilibrium if we increase the pressure in the reaction vessel? H2(g) + 12(e) โ 2 HI(g)
Acetic Acid (CH3COOH) has a Ka value of 8 x 1-5. If I have a 0.15 M acetic acid solution, what are the following values? pH pOH [H3O+] [OH-] If I add 0..15 M sodium acetate to the solution what is the pH value here? Remember that pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA].
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
