For the amino acid alanine, the major species in solution at ph 7 is the zwitterionic form, which has a negatively charged carboxylic acid group and a positively charged amino group. there is a less common neutral form in which neither group is charged. the carboxylic acid group of alanine has a pka of 3. the amino group of alanine has a pka of 8. estimate the ratio of the concentration of the neutral amino acid species to the zwitterionic species at ph 7.

Problem page combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane ( c5 h12 ) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. for this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.(a) write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. (b) suppose 0.350 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 20.0 degree c. calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
