For the amino acid alanine, the major species in solution at ph 7 is the zwitterionic form, which has a negatively charged carboxylic acid group and a positively charged amino group. there is a less common neutral form in which neither group is charged. the carboxylic acid group of alanine has a pka of 3. the amino group of alanine has a pka of 8. estimate the ratio of the concentration of the neutral amino acid species to the zwitterionic species at ph 7.

What is the solubility of substance?

Which buffer would be better able to hold a steady ph on the addition of strong acid, buffer 1 or buffer 2? explain. buffer 1: a solution containing 0.10 m nh4cl and 1 m nh3. buffer 2: a solution containing 1 m nh4cl and 0.10 m nh3

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: moon a and moon b. the mass of the new planet is greater than the combined mass of its moons. moon a is farther away from the new planet than moon b. what is the planet's gravitational pull on moon a compared to the planet's gravitational pull on moon b? the planet's gravity repels moon a with a greater force than it repels moon b, which is why moon a is farther away. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is closer to the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is farther away from the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon a is the same as the gravitational pull on moon b because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.
