9. Measurement of Acetylcholine Levels by pH Changes You have a 15 mLsample of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) with an unknown concentrationand a pH of 7.65. You incubate this sample with the enzymeacetylcholinesterase to convert all of the acetylcholine to choline and aceticacid. The acetic acid dissociates to yield acetate and hydrogen ions.OCH3CH3-C-O-CH2-CH2-N–CH3AcetylcholineCH3H₂OCH3HỌCH, CH, N– CH3 + CH3-CHO TH11CH3CholineAcetateT4At the end of the incubation period, you measure the pH again and find that ithas decreased to 6.87. Assuming there was no buffer in the assay mixture,determine the number of nanomoles of acetylcholine in the original 15 mLsample.

Given data 15ml volume PH= 7.65 After decreases PH = 6.87 Find nanomol

Consider a solution formed by mixing 100.0 mL of 0.10 M HA (Ka = 1.0 106), 100.00 mL of 0.10 M NaA. and 100.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl. In calculating the pH for the final solution, you would make some assumptions about the order in which various reactions occur to simplify the calculations. State these assumptions. Does it matter whether the reactions actually occur in the assumed order? Explain.
A buffer is composed of formic acid and its conjugate base, the formate ion. (a) What is the pH of a solution that has a formic acid concentration of 0.050 M and a sodium formate concentration of 0.035 M? (b) What must the ratio of acid to conjugate base be to have a pH value 0.50 units higher than the value calculated in part (a)?
You have a solution of the weak acid HA and add some of the salt NaA to it. What are the major species in the solution? What do you need to know to calculate the pH of the solution, and how would you use this information? How does the pH of the solution of just the HA compare with that of the final mixture? Explain.
Malonic acid (HO2CCH2CO2H) is a diprotic acid. In the titration of malonic acid w ith NaOH, stoichiometric points occur at pH = 3.9 and 8.8. A 25.00-mL sample of malonic acid of unknown concentration is titrated with 0.0984 M NaOH, requiring 31.50 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the concentration of the initial malonic acid solution. (Sec Exercise 113.)
Repeat the procedure in Exercise 61, but for the titration of 25.0 mL of 0.100 M pyridine with 0.100 M hydrochloric acid (Kb for pyridine is 1.7 109). Do not calculate the points at 24.9 and 25.1 mL.
Amino acids are an important group of compounds. At low pH, both the carboxylic acid group (CO2H) and the amine group (NHR) are protonated. However, as the pH of the solution increases (say, by adding base), the carboxylic acid proton is removed, usually at a pH between 2 and 3. In a middle range of pHs, therefore, the amine group is protonated, but the carboxylic acid group has lost the proton. (This is called a zwitterion.) At more basic pH values, the amine proton is dissociated. What is the pH of a 0.20 M solution of alanine hydrochloride, [NH3CHCH3CO2H]Cl?
