Justify that peroxymono and peroxydisulphuric acids have a peroxy linkage. How are they structurally diffferent?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To justify that peroxymono and peroxydisulfuric acids have a peroxy linkage and to explain their structural differences, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Compounds - **Peroxymonosulfuric acid (H₂SO₅)**: This compound contains one sulfur atom and is derived from hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) by replacing one hydrogen atom with a bisulfate ion (HSO₄⁻). - **Peroxydisulfuric acid (H₂S₂O₈)**: This compound contains two sulfur atoms and is also derived from hydrogen peroxide, but it involves two bisulfate ions. ### Step 2: Identify the Peroxy Linkage - The peroxy linkage refers to the -O-O- bond present in these acids. Both H₂SO₅ and H₂S₂O₈ contain this -O-O- bond, which is characteristic of peroxy compounds. ...

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.
