If hydroxide is added to an amino acid, how will this affect the charge on the amino acid?

The amino acid will become more negatively charged

Explanation:

Amino acids are organic compounds containing the positive amine (-NH₂) group which is the basic group, and the negative carboxylic (-COOH) group, which is the acidic group. Because they contain both acidic and basic groups with a positive and negative charge that do not contain an overall electric charge, they are known as zwitterions. They are the smallest units of a protein molecule.

When a hydroxide group is added to an amino acid, the PH is increased, and the hydrogen ion on the amine (NH₃+) is removed, making the compound to have an overall negative charge, hence it is no longer a zwitterion.

notice that the amino group has a net negative charge on the product side of the reaction

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
