Question

Using Argn (n= –2, –1, 0, +1, +2, etc.) to represent the different charge species of Arginine, what is the dominant species of Arginine at pH 2.7? That is, which one has the highest concentration?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the sorensen equation; pH = -Log[H+]

2.7 = -Log[H+]

H+ = 10^-2.7

H+ = 0.001995M = Hydrogen ion concentration

Basically, the more the charges, the higher the hydrogen ion concentration stand vice versa. +2 has the highest concentration.
