Question 2

The pH of human blood is 7.4. Therefore the hydrogen ion concentration in human blood is which of the following?

Accepted Answer

The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration. Therefore, if the pH is 7.4, the hydrogen ion concentration is 10^-7.4 M, which is approximately 4.0 x 10^-8 M.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Given the pK_a for ammonium ion is...

Question 6

Which of the following acids would you use to make an effective buffer for a reaction at pH 8?

Accepted Answer

A buffer is most effective when the pH is close to the pKa of the acid. Tris-hydroxmethylaminoethane has a pKa close to 8, making it suitable for buffering at pH 8.

Question 7

A 0.1 M solution of ethanoic acid is 1.34% ionized. What is the value of K_a for ethanoic acid?

Accepted Answer

The degree of ionization is 1.34%, which means [H⁺] = 0.00134 M. Using the formula Kₐ = [H⁺]² / [CH₃COOH_initial - H⁺], we find Kₐ ≈ 1.82 × 10⁻⁵.

Question 8

If the concentration of [OH^-] in an aqueous solution is 0.3 M, what is the pH of that solution?

Accepted Answer

The pOH is calculated as -log(0.3) = 0.52. Since pH + pOH = 14, the pH is 14 - 0.52 = 13.48.

Question 14

Which of the following depicts a neutralization reaction?

Accepted Answer

A neutralization reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base that produces a salt and water. In this case, the acid is CH3CH2COOH and the base is NaOH. The products are CH3CH2COONa and H2O.

Question 15

Which of the following is the weakest acid?

Accepted Answer

The weakest acid is the one with the smallest K_a value. Boric acid has the smallest K_a value of 7.3 x 10^-10, making it the weakest acid among the options.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following statements about buffer...

Question 17

Match the type of compound with the biological environment into which it is most likely to partition.
-Strong acid

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match the type of compound with the...

Question 18

Match the type of compound with the biological environment into which it is most likely to partition.
-Weak acid

Accepted Answer

Weak acids are more likely to partition into the bloodstream because they can exist in an ionized form at physiological pH, which is more soluble in aqueous environments like blood.

Question 19

Match the following amino acids with the most appropriate description of the extent of ionization of their side chains when the pH of their environment has a value of 10.0 -Lysine (pK_a 10.5)

Accepted Answer

At pH 10.0, which is close to the pKa of lysine's side chain (10.5), the side chain is roughly 50% ionized.

Question 20

Match the following amino acids with the most appropriate description of the extent of ionization of their side chains when the pH of their environment has a value of 10.0 -Arginine (pK_a 12.5)

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match the following amino acids with the...
