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?
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.

An organic acid(HA) has a molecular weight of 100. g mol^-1, a Kow=5.6 and a Ka=2.7x10^-2. If originally 2.0g of the acid is dissolved in 100mL of octanol (there is no dissociation in octanol), which is then placed in contact with 100mL of water, what will be the pH of the water? (consider the equilibrium processes to be sequential and unrelated chemically)
The equilibrium constant for an acid is called the acid ionization constant (Ka). If acetic acid (weak acid, HC2H3O2) is placed into water, it ionizes to H+ and C2H3O2- with a Ka of 1.82 x 10-5.

The concentration of sodium acetate after mixing, before any reaction takes place is 0.44 mol L-1 . Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of all acid species: [ CH3COOH ], [ CH3COO- ], the pH and the pOH in the solution. Some assumptions may not work, on the other hand, if you do not make the correct assumptions first, the quadratic formula will give you the wrong answer.
