(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: Which proton is dissociated at a lower pH – the proton of the carboxylic acid group or the ammonium group of glycine hydrochloride (Cl-H3N+CH2COOH).

Concept introduction: As per chemistry, the substance which is capable of donating a proton (H+) is considered as an acid and is able to form a covalent bond with an electron. Also, the substance which accepts a proton is called a base. The pH of a solution is denoted as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration of that solution. The pH in a solution decreases as H+ ion concentration increases in the solution.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The chemical formula to describe the dissociation of the first and second protons of glycine hydrochloride (Cl-H3N+CH2COOH)

Concept introduction: As per chemistry, the substance which is capable of donating a proton (H+) is considered as an acid and is able to form a covalent bond with an electron. Also, the substance which accepts a proton is called a base. The pH of a solution is denoted as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration of that solution. The pH in a solution decreases as H+ ion concentration increases in the solution.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The pK of the solution as per the given data.

Macmillan Learning Cholesterol synthesis begins with the formation of mevalonate from acetyl CoA. This process activates mevalonate and converts it to isopentenyl pyrophosphate. Identify the atoms in mevalonate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate that will be labeled from acetyl CoA labeled with 14C in the carbonyl carbon. Place 14C atoms and C atoms to denote which carbon atoms are labeled and which are not labeled.
