- The ionization of p-nitrophenol is shown below (pKa = 7.0): a. Identify the weak acid and conjugate base. b. At pH 7, what are the relative concentrations of ionized and un-ionized p-nitrophenol? c. If enough concentrated hydrochloric acid is added to a solution of p-nitrophenol to lower the pH from 7 to 5, what will happen to the relative concentrations of the ionized and un-ionized forms? d. Ionized p-nitrophenol has a yellow color, while the un-ionized form is colorless. The yellow color can be measured using a spectrophotometer at 400nm. In order to determine the total amount of p-nitrophenol in a solution, would you perform the spectrophotometer reading at an acidic or basic pH? Clearly explain why? e. A solution of p-nitrophenol at pH 7.95 was found to have an A400 of 0.255 . What is the total concentration (in µM) of p-nitrophenol (ionized plus un-ionized) in the solution?

C60H111O51 Use the following information to answer the following questions."The native structure of hemoglobin (HB) comprises of two α and two β subunits, each of which carries a heme group. There appear to be no previous studies that report the in-vitro folding and assembly of Hb from highly unfolded α and β globin in a 'one-pot' reaction. One difficulty that has to be overcome for studies of this kind is the tendency of Hb to aggregate during refolding. This work demonstrates that denaturation of Hb in 40% acetonitrile at pH 10.0 is reversible."
