Answer questions a-c about the Bronsted acid-base reaction below using the identifying letters A-D below each structure. The pKa's for the acids of interest are: phenol (pKa = 9.9), and acetic acid (pKa = 4.8). 1.) - The stronger acid is - Its conjugate base is - The species that predominate at equilibrium are 2.) - The stronger base is - Its conjugate acid is - The species that predominate at equilibrium are
Histidine is an important catalytic residue found at the active sites of many enzymes. In many cases, histidine appears toremove protons or to transfer protons from one location to another.(a) Show which nitrogen atom of the histidine heterocycle is basic and which is not.(b) Use resonance forms to show why the protonated form of histidine is a particularly stable cation.(c) Show the structure that results when histidine accepts a proton on the basic nitrogen of the heterocycle and then isdeprotonated on the other heterocyclic nitrogen. Explain how histidine might function as a pipeline to transfer protonsbetween sites within an enzyme and its substrate
According to the Evan's pKa table, phenol has a pKa of 9.95. p-Nitro and m-nitrophenol have pKas of 7.14 and 8.35 respectively. Using resonance structures, explain the observed trends in the acidity of these molecules.
Nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong acid that completely ionizes when dissolved in water (pKa = -1.30). Calculate the pH of 10 mg/L HNO3. a. Unlike nitric acid, butyric acid (CH3CH2CH2COOH) is a weak acid (pKa = 4.8). Calculate the pH of a solution when 90% of the CH3CH2CH2COOH is dissociated. b. Briefly explain how you can use the pKa values of these two molecules to determine that nitric acid is a strong acid, while butyric acid is a weak acid.
