You have discovered a new amino acid. You find that its side has a pKa-8.00 what percent of this side chain would be deprotonated at pH-8.50 76.0X Please answer to three significant figures 31.6 Feedback: First, using the HH, plug in the numbers given solve for the ratio of A/HA Let's say the number A/ HA- 5, this means that 5 side chains are deprot for every 1 protonated side chain. Therefore the total number of side chains would be 1.5 (prot + deprot) To find the percentage deprotonated (this is from your math classes) -A/ total side chains (A+HA) 100 (e. if we continue with the numbers above, percentage deprotonated would be 5/1.5 * 100 or 33.33

Please answer to three significant figures 31.6
Feedback:
First, using the HH, plug in the numbers given to solve for the ratio of A/HA
Let's say the number A/ HA= 5, this means that 5 side chains are deprot for every 1 protonated side chain. Therefore the total number of side chains would be 1.5 (prot + deprot)
To find the percentage deprotonated (this is from your math classes) = A/ total side chains (A+HA)* 100 (e. if we continue with the numbers above, percentage deprotonated would be 5/1.5* 100 or 33.33](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F17c1e71f-55d2-4ce6-93ef-b4a233349823%2Fdafefcfd-b647-413a-a22d-8d47d38bba15%2F3kzmo0j_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
