Select your two favorite amino acids. Draw them with correct stereochemistry and embed a picture of your drawings in your response. Then discuss: If these two molecules encountered each other in aqueous solution, what intermolecular interactions could be observed between the two molecules? How would changing the pH of the solution affect these interactions between the amino acids?

Waste vegetable oil (WVO; e. g. spent deep fryer oil) is often used to produce biodiesel. WVO tends to have relatively high amounts of free fatty acids (FFA) compared to unused vegetable oil. For a base catalyzed process, why might the presence of FFA cause problems? Provide a reaction scheme in your explanation.

Consider a 0.14 M solution of thriethylamine with a pH of 4.8. Calculate the percentage ionisation of the acid in this solution.
The reaction just described is reversible. Deprotonation of the conjugate acid of an organic base by water provides another example of simultaneous making and breaking of sigma bonds. Thus, in the deprotonation of anilinium ion by water, the base is water, which has unshared electrons on the ________ atom. The acid is ________ ion. A pair of ________ electrons on the oxygen atom of water is pushed toward the ________ atom. Simultaneously, the pair of ________ electrons between the hydrogen and ________ atom of the anilinium ion is pushed toward the ________ atom. Thus, the oxygen- ________ sigma bond is made and a hydrogen- ________ sigma bond is broken. The nitrogen atom, which possessed a positive charge, is now ________, and the oxygen atom, which was neutral, now possesses a formal ________ charge.

Acid-Base Equilibria Many factors contribute to the acidity of organic compounds. Electronegativity, resonance, induction, hybridization, aromaticity, and atomic size, all play a role. In the following comparisons, you are asked to identify the factor(s) that would be most important to analyze when predicting relative acidity, and then to predict the trend in acidity and pKa values. For each of the following pairs of compounds answer the following two multiple-choice questions. 1. What factor(s) are the most important to consider when predicting the relative acidity of the two compounds? a. Electronegativity of the atom possessing the hydrogen. b. Resonance stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. c. Inductive stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. d. Hybridization of the atom possessing the hydrogen. e. The atomic size of the atom possessing the hydrogen.

For the amino acid glutamate, what fraction of the side-chain (R-group) will be ionized at pH = 3.5? At pH = 5.0?
Disulfides are compounds that have S¬ S bonds, like peroxides have O¬ O bonds. Thiols are organic compounds that have the general formula R¬ SH, where R is a generic hydrocarbon. The SH- ion is the sulfur counterpart of hydroxide, OH-. Two thiols can react to make a disulfide, R¬ S¬ S¬ R. If you wanted to convert a disulfide to two thiols, should you add a reducing agent or oxidizing agent to the solution?
I'm asked to "assume that ozempic is in a solution at pH = 7. Draw the functional groups at their correct protonation form". For this, would I make all of the carboxyl groupsgo from COOH to COO-? and then the amide groups go from CONH to CONH3 + ? What about ether groups (COC) ?
