Calculation of Original pH from Final pH after Titration A biochemist has 100 mL of a 0.10 M solution of a weak acid with a pKa

of 6.3. She adds 6.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl, which changes the pH to 5.7. What was the pH of the original solution?

Answer:

6.9

Explanation:

A weak acid dissociates in an equilibrium reaction, thus, it is in equilibrium with its conjugate base:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

The equilibrium constant (Ka) can be calculated, where Ka = [H⁺]*[A⁻]/[HA]. Using the -log form, we can also have pKa = -logKa. By the Handerson-Halsebach (HH) equation, the relation between pH and pKa is:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

So, when pH = 5.7, for this acid, the ratio of [acid]/[base] ([HA]/[A-]) is:

5.7 = 6.3 + log[A⁻]/[HA]

log[A⁻]/[HA] = -0.6

log[HA]/[A⁻] = 0.6

[HA]/[A⁻] = 10^{0.6}

[HA]/[A⁻] = 3.98 = 4.0

If the ratio of acid and base is 4 to 1, it means that 80%(4/5) of the acid is protonated after the addition of the HCl.

The initial number of moles of the weak acid was: 100 mL * 0.10 M = 10 mmol, so after the addition of HCl, 8 mmol is in the acid form (80% of 10). It was added 6.0 mmol of HCl (6.0 mL*1.0M). Thus, 6.0 mmol of H+ was added and reacted with the conjugate base of the weak acid.

For the mass conservation, the initial amount of the protonated weak acid must be 2.0 mmol (8 - 6), and the number of moles of the conjugate base was 8.0 mmol. Using the HH equation:

pH = 6.3 + log(8/2)

pH = 6.3 + 0.6

pH = 6.9

Answer:

pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation

Explanation:

Ion exchange chromatography is a chemical process where molecules are separated by affinity to an ion exchange resin. To separate different aminoacids you must use the isoelectric point (That is the pH where the aminoacid will be in its neutral form).

For lysine, PI is:

pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,1+10,5) = 9,8

For arginine:

pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,0+12,5) = 10,75

At pH = 9,8 lysine will be in its neutral form and will not be retain in the column but arginine will be in +1 charge being retained by the ion exchange resin.

Thus, <em>pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Which object can electrically polarized
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:Static electricity works because objects which are otherwise "neutral" (in other words, objects with no net charge) can be polarized. An electric field, like one caused by a nearby charged object, can cause the charges inside of a neutral object — the protons and electrons — to move around a tiny bit.

What is the empirical formula of the compound that is 25.3% magnesium and 74.7% chlorine
Margarita [4]

Answer: MgCl_2

Explanation:

25.3% Mg

74.7% Cl

First step: change % to g

25.3g Mg

74.7g Cl

Second step: calculate g/mol of each compound. You can do this by using the atomic mass.

25.3gMg(\frac{1mol}{24.30g})=1.04mol

74.7gCl(\frac{1mol}{35.45g} )=2.11mol

Third step: determine the lowest number and divide everything by it. Of the result, extract whole number only.

Mg=\frac{1.04}{1.04} =1

Cl=\frac{2.11}{1.04}=2

Fourth step: Write each compound with their respective number below.

This empirical formula should be: MgCl_2
