Interpretation:
For the given reaction under given conditions the balanced equation, conjugate acid-base pair and the direction of equilibrium should be identified.
Concept introduction:
: If a species loses a proton then it is considered as
Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.
Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base
: If a species receives one proton, then it is considered as
Strong Base: Bases that has strong attraction towards protons and accepts readily. Strong base forms weaker conjugated acid.
Weak Base: Bases that has little affinity towards protons. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
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.
Equilibrium: A state of a
The principle says that when a disturbance is given to equilibrium of a chemical reaction, the equilibrium will respond by shifting to the direction at which the effect of disturbance is nullified
Balanced Chemical Reaction: On accordance with law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction, total masses of reactants and products must be equal.

- Glycine hydrochloride (Cl− H3N+CH2COOH) is a diprotic acid that contains a carboxylic acid group and an ammonium group and is therefore called an amino acid. It is often used in biochemical buffers. Solve, In analogy with Figure , sketch the titration curve of this diprotic acid.arrow_forwardAn enzyme uses a lysine and a histidine as general acid-base catalytic residues. In one direction of the reaction, the lysine and histidine residues are typically protonated (~NH3*, ~Im), but in the other direction of the reaction, the two residues are "reverse protonated" (~NH2, ~Hlm*) (see below scheme). A pH profile of the reaction at various pH values yielded estimates of 7.57 and 9.30 for the macroscopic ionization constants pk,' and pK2, respectively. A separate set of experiments with site-speciffic variants of the enzyme yielded an estimate of 8.78 for the microscopic ionization constant pKp. Given this information, what is the value of the microscopic ionization constant pKA? Report your answer to the nearest hundredth.

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.

- Mixtures of amino acids can be analyzed by first separating the mixture into its components through ion‑exchange chromatography. Amino acids placed on a cation‑exchange resin containing sulfonate (−SO−3)(−SO3−) groups flow down the column at different rates because of two factors that influence their movement: (1) ionic attraction between the sulfonate residues on the column and positively charged functional groups on the amino acids, and (2) aggregation of nonpolar amino acid side chains with the hydrophobic backbone of the polystyrene resin. Note that the ionic attraction is more important than hydrophobicity for this column media. For each pair of amino acids, identify which will be eluted first from a cation‑exchange column using a pH 7.0pH 7.0 buffer.arrow_forwardThe enzyme urease is widely used for determining urea concentration in blood.
