(a)
Interpretation:
The number of acidic hydrogen atoms present in pentanoic acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The name of the
Carboxylate ion is the negative ion which is formed when one or more acidic protons are lost from carboxylic acid.
Number of acidic hydrogen atoms present in the carboxylic acid can be found by identifying the number of carboxyl groups present. Each carboxyl group gives a hydrogen atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of acidic hydrogen atoms present in citric acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The name of the carboxylic acid itself implies that it is acidic. Addition of carboxylic acid to water results in ionization. Hydrogen ion transfer occurs from carboxylic acid to water and hydronium ion is formed. Carboxylate ion is also formed due to the loss of hydrogen ion from carboxylic acid.

C60H120O60 B. C60H102O51 C. C60H100O50 D. C60H111O51 Use the following information to answer the following questions."The native structure of hemoglobin (HB) comprises of two α and two β subunits, each of which carries a heme group. There appear to be no previous studies that report the in-vitro folding and assembly of Hb from highly unfolded α and β globin in a 'one-pot' reaction. One difficulty that has to be overcome for studies of this kind is the tendency of Hb to aggregate during refolding. This work demonstrates that denaturation of Hb in 40% acetonitrile at pH 10.0 is reversible."
