To separate a mixture of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and p-amino benzoic acid, we can utilize their differing solubility properties when treated with hydrochloric acid (HCl). Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Compounds - **p-Hydroxybenzoic acid** has a hydroxyl (-OH) group and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) group. - **p-Aminobenzoic acid** has an amino (-NH2) group and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) group. ### Step 2: React with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) - When p-hydroxybenzoic acid is added to HCl, it remains insoluble because it is an acid and does not react with another acid. ...

Enzymes are proteins, Proteins are long chains of amino acids linked to each other by peptide bonds. Amino acids have many functional groups in their structure. These functional groups are many of them at least, ionisable. As they are weak acids and bases in chemical nature, this ionisatio is infuluenced by pH of the solution. For many enzymes, activity is influenced by surrounding pH. This is depicted in the curve below, explain briefly.

When zinc metal is treated with a dilute solution of a strong acid, a gas is evolved which is utilised in the hydrogenation of oil. Name the gas evolved . Write the chemical equation of the reaction involved and also wrote a test to detect the gas formed.

Molecules of the amino acids that comprise our proteins have the property of being non-super imposable on their mirror images because,. They are said to be chiral or possess 'handedness'. Most of the amino acids are of left handed form, but with no reasons available. Even more interesting recent experiments have shown that a 7-9% excess of four amino acids is present in Murchison meteorite discovered in 1970. This analysis shows life could arise outside the confines of earth. The origin of unequal distribution is probably because of electromagnetic radiations emitted in a corkscrew fashion from the poles of spinning neutron stars could lead to a bias of one mirror image isomer over another when molecules form in interstellar space. A stereogenic carbon can be defined as a carbon atom bearing groups of such nature that an interchange of any two groups will produce a stereoisomer. The device that is used for measuring the effect of optically active compounds on plane polarized light is a polarimeter. The analyser in the polarimeter decides the activity of compound present. This is being decided on the basis of angle by which axis of analyser has to be rotated for complete brightness. Left, right or no adjustment decides l, d - activity or optical inactivity respectively. Optically inactive isomer possessing chiral centres are categorized as

A 500mL of an equilibrium mixture of gaseous N_(2)O_(4) and NO_(2) at 25^(@)C and 753mm of Hg was allowed to react with enough water to make 250mL of solution at 25^(@)C . Assume that all the dissolved N_(2)O_(4) is converted to NO_(2) which disproportionates in water yielding a solution of nitrous acid and nitric acid. aAsume further that disproportionation reaction goes to completion and that none of the nitrous acid disproportionates. The equilibrium constant (K_(p)) for N_(2)O_(4)(g)hArr 2NO_(2)(g) 0.113 at 25^(@)C . K_(a) for HNO_(2) is 4.5 xx 10^(-4) at 25^(@)C . a. Write balanced equation for disproportionation. b. What is the molar concentration of NO_(2) and pH of the solution? c. What is osmotic pressure of solution? d. How many grams of lime (CaO) would be required to neutralise the solution?

Essential amino acids are those which our body can not synthesize and, therefore, we take them from diet . These are usually seven in number and are .

The extent to which hydrolysis proceeds is expressed as degree of hydrolysis and is defined as fraction of ne mole of the salt that is hydrolysed when equilibrium has been attained . The nature of solution also depends upon the extent upto which the salt has been hydrolysed . Degree of hydrolysis of a salt ofdepends upon concentration of salt at a particular temperature and varies inversely . Consequently , nature of the solution whether acidic or alkaline can be determined . pH of the solution of salt of weak acid and strong base or weak base and strong acid depends upon its concentration . So by varying the concentration of salts their pH could be adjusted . If we increase the concentration of a salt the pH will not change in the case of

A certain salt (X) gives the following tests : (a) Its aqueous solution is alkaline to litmus. (b) On strong heating, it swells up to give a glassy material (Y) . (c) When conc. H_(2) SO_(4) is added to a hot concentrated solution of (X) , white crystal of a weak acid (Z) separates out. Identify (X), (Y) and (Z) and write down the chemical equations for reaction at steps a, b and c .
