Because carbonic acid undergoes a second ionization, the student in Exercise 12.39 is concerned that the hydrogen ion concentration she calculated is not correct. She looks up the equilibrium constant for the reaction HCO,-(aq) «=* H+(aq) + COf'(aq) Upon finding that the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 4.8 X 10“H, she decides that her answer in Exercise 12.39 is correct. Explain her reasoning. A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H,CO,(aq) 5=6 H+(aq) + HCO,'(aq) K = 4.4 X 10'7She starts with 0.1000 A1 carbonic acid.

A chemist at a pharmaceutical company is measuring equilibriumconstants for reactions in which drug candidatemolecules bind to a protein involved in cancer. The drugmolecules bind the protein in a 1:1 ratio to form a drug–proteincomplex. The protein concentration in aqueous solutionat 25 °C is 1.50 x 10-6 M. Drug A is introduced into the proteinsolution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x 10-6 M.Drug B is introduced into a separate, identical protein solutionat an initial concentration of 2.00x 10-6 M.
