Chapter 26.1, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Interpretation:

The structure of threonine is to be elucidated using normal wedged and dashed line and the presence of two α-carbons in this amino acid gives it two chirality centers.

Concept introduction:

(2S,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid or threonine is an amino acid with two α-carbons and hence it has two chiral centers. According to the Fisher projections, the amino acid molecules may be represented using normal, wedged, and dashed lines.

To determine:

The structure of L-threonine using normal, wedged and dashed lines.

Using the conditions of spontaneity to deduce the signs of AH and AS Use the observations about each chemical reaction in the table below to decide the sign (positive or negative) of the reaction enthalpy AH and reaction entropy AS. Note: if you have not been given enough information to decide a sign, select the "unknown" option. reaction observations conclusions A This reaction is always spontaneous, but proceeds slower at temperatures above 120. °C. ΔΗ is (pick one) AS is (pick one) ΔΗ is (pick one) B This reaction is spontaneous except above 117. °C. AS is (pick one) ΔΗ is (pick one) This reaction is slower below 20. °C than C above.

Calculating the pH at equivalence of a titration Try Again Your answer is incorrect. 0/5 a A chemist titrates 70.0 mL of a 0.7089 M hydrocyanic acid (HCN) solution with 0.4574M KOH solution at 25 °C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pK of hydrocyanic acid is 9.21. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Note for advanced students: you may assume the total volume of the solution equals the initial volume plus the volume of KOH solution added. pH = 11.43] G 00. 18 Ar B•
