Lysine is used as a topical medicinal skin creme. what is the molecular formula of lysine if the empirical formula is c3h7no, and the approximate molar mass is 146 g/mol

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Molecular Formula is calculated using following formula,

Molecular Formula  =  n (Empirical Formula)     ----- (1)

Calculating n;

                      n  =  Molecular Weight / Empirical Formula Weight  --- (2)

Empirical formula weight = (12×3) + (1×7) + (14×1) + (16×1)

Empirical formula weight = (36) + (7) + (14) + (16)

Empirical formula weight = 73

Putting values in Eq. 2,

                                n  =  146 / 73

                                n  =  2

Putting Value of n and Empirical Formula in Eq. 1,

Molecular Formula  =  2 × C₃H₇NO

Molecular Formula  =  C₆H₁₄N₂O₂

Result:
           Molecular Formula of Lysine is C₆H₁₄N₂O₂.

Only a small fraction of a weak acid ionizes in aqueous solution. What is the percent ionization of a 0.100-M solution of acetic acid, CH3CO2H? CH3CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)⇌H3O+(aq)+CH3CO2−(aq )Ka=1.8×10−5

Answers

Answer:

1.33%

Explanation:

In an aqueous solution, a weak acid such as acetic acid, will be in equilibrium with its conjugate base, acetate ion, thus:

CH₃CO₂H(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + CH₃CO₂⁻(aq )

Where dissociation constant, ka, is defined as the ratio of concentrations of products and reactants:

Ka = 1.8x10⁻⁵ = [H₃O⁺] [CH₃CO₂⁻] / [CH₃CO₂H]

H₂O is not taken into account in the equilibrium because is a pure liquid

When a solution of acetic acid becomes to equilibrium, the original concentration of the acid decreases producing more H₃O⁺ and CH₃CO₂⁻.

The concentrations at equilibrium when a 0.100M solution of acetic acid reaches this state, is:

[CH₃CO₂H] = 0.100M - X

[H₃O⁺] = X

[CH₃CO₂⁻] = X

Where X is reaction coordinate.

Replacing in Ka expression:

1.8x10⁻⁵ = [H₃O⁺] [CH₃CO₂⁻] / [CH₃CO₂H]

1.8x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.100M - X]

1.8x10⁻⁶ - 1.8x10⁻⁵X = X²

1.8x10⁻⁶ - 1.8x10⁻⁵X - X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = -0.00135 → False solution. There is no negative concentrations.

X = 0.00133 → Right solution.

That means concentration of acetate ion is:

[CH₃CO₂⁻] = 0.00133M.

Now, percent ionization is defined as 100 times the ratio between weak acid that is ionizated, [CH₃CO₂⁻] = 0.00133M, per initial concentration of the acid, [CH₃CO₂H] = 0.100M. Replacing:

% Ionization = 0.00133M / 0.100M × 100 =

Answer the correct answer out of the four is option c spectroscopy

Explanation- The interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter studied. This study is commonly known as spectroscopy. It can also be named as study of absorption spectra or emission spectra.

The former spectrum is formed when energy is absorbed from Photons or light energy by electrons while the latter spectrum is formed due to a wavelength of light that is released when electrons jump from higher to lower level.
