1.95 grams of ethanolamine were dissolved in water, and the pH of the solution was adjusted with HCl until 62% of the molecules were in their protonated (conjugate acid) state. The pKa of ethanolaminium (the conjugate acid of ethanolamine) is 9.5. What is the pH of the final solution?
Round your answer to one decimal place (e.g., 2.3) using standard rounding conventions for the last digit.
The pKa values of the carboxylic acid groups of oxaloacetic acid are 2.22 and 3.98.a. Which carboxyl group is the stronger acid?b. The amount of hydrate present in an aqueous solution of oxaloacetic acid depends on the pH of the solution: 95% at pH 0, 81% at pH 1.3, 35% at pH3.1, 13% at pH 4.7, 6% at pH 6.7, and 6% at pH 12.7. Explain this pH dependence.
If I have a weak acid with a pKa of 4.65 what will be the relative ratio of [A-] to [HA] in the final mixture be to give a pH of 4.00? What if you change this to a pH of 3.00? 5.00?
