In Kjeldahl’s method, 0.42 g of a compound produced ammonia that neutralized 15 mL of 0.2 M H₂SO₄. What is the percentag

Moles of H₂SO₄ = 0.015 × 0.2 = 0.003. Moles of NH₃ = 0.006 (2H per H₂SO₄). Mass of N = 0.006 × 14 = 0.084 g. Percentage = (0.084/0.42) × 100 = 20%.

A weak acid HZ ( Ka = 3.2 × 10⁻⁵ ) is mixed with 0.02 M NaOH in a 3:1 volume ratio (acid:base). If the final [HZ] = 0.06

Total volume = 4V, HZ initial = 0.06 × 4V = 0.08 M × 3V , NaOH = 0.02V , [Z-] = (0.02V/4V) = 0.005 M . pH = 4.5 + log (0.005/0.06) = 4.5 - 1.08 = 3.42 .

What happens when an amino acid is titrated beyond its pI?

It becomes negatively charged correctly describes the effect or change asked about in this question. In Titration of Amino Acids, understanding cause-and-effect relationships is essential for predicting biological outcomes. It becomes negatively charged occurs because of specific molecular interactions, thermodynamic principles, or regulatory mechanisms that govern this biological process. The other options (It becomes positively charged, It remains neutral, and It precipitates) describe either opposite effects, effects that occur under different conditions, or changes associated with unrelated processes.
