The pH of human blood is steady at a value of approximately 7.4 owing to the following equilibrium reactions:
Acids formed during normal cellular respiration react with the HCO3- to form carbonic acid, which is in equilibrium with CO2(aq) and H2O(l). During vigorous exercise, a person’s H2CO3 blood levels were 26.3 mM, whereas his CO2 levels were 1.63 mM. On resting, the H2CO3 levels declined to 24.9 mM. What was the CO2 blood level at rest?
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)
Discuss the justification for this statement: “Although one does not normally regard NH+4 as an acid, it is actually only slightly weaker as an acid than hydrocyanic acid, HCN, in aqueous solution.”

- What is the Kw of pure water at 50.0 degrees Celsius, if the pH is 6.630?arrow_forwardThe acid-dissociation constants of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) at 25 degrees Celsius are Ka1 = 7.510-3, Ka2 =6.2 10-8, and Ka3 =4.210-13. What is the PH of a 2.5M aqueous solution of phosphoric acid?arrow_forwardThe simplest amino acid is glycine, H2NCH2CO2H. The common feature of amino acids is that they contain the functional groups: an amine group, –NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, –CO2H. An amino acid can function aseither an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid, CH3CO2H, and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, NH3.(a) Write the Lewis structures of the ions that form when glycine is dissolved in 1 M HCl and in 1 M KOH.(b) Write the Lewis structure of glycine when this amino acid is dissolved in water.arrow_forward

The principal cause of acid rain is coal-burning electrical power plants (sulfurous and sulfuric acids are formed in the atmosphere from this). Any combustion reaction that produces high temperature can also produce acid rain (nitrous and nitric acid are produced in the atmosphere from this). Thus, automotive engines are also an important contributor to acid rain. Acid rain harms both living and nonliving things in a variety of ways.

- when chlorine gas is added to water during the disinfection of drinking water, it hydrolyzes with the water to form HOCL. The disinfection power of the acid HOCL is 88 times better than its conjugate base, OCl-. The pKa for HOCl is 7.5. (a) what percentage of the total disinfection power exists in the acid form at pH of 6?arrow_forwardAmino 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?arrow_forwardThe reaction just described is reversible. Deprotonation of the conjugate acid of an organic base by water provides another example of simultaneous making and breaking of sigma bonds. Thus, in the deprotonation of anilinium ion by water, the base is water, which has unshared electrons on the ________ atom. The acid is ________ ion. A pair of ________ electrons on the oxygen atom of water is pushed toward the ________ atom. Simultaneously, the pair of ________ electrons between the hydrogen and ________ atom of the anilinium ion is pushed toward the ________ atom. Thus, the oxygen- ________ sigma bond is made and a hydrogen- ________ sigma bond is broken. The nitrogen atom, which possessed a positive charge, is now ________, and the oxygen atom, which was neutral, now possesses a formal ________ charge.arrow_forward
