One of the buffer systems the human body has to regulate pH is based on the phosphate anion. If blood has a pH of 7.40, and the three Ka values for phosphoric acid are 7.52 × 10−3, 6.23 × 10−8, and 4.8 × 10−13, write the chemical equilibrium equation showing the phosphate species that are involved in this buffer

You are studying a clear solution and you added the pH indicator methyl violet. The colour range of the indicator methyl violet in a clear solution when changing from acidic to basic is yellow (pH 0) to blue purple (pH 1) to violet (pH 2). You initial pH of the solution when tested with a pH meter is O.2. You are going to add 250 drops of 0.1 M HCI. Please select the most appropriate answers to the following two questions. What is the initial colour of the solution at pH 0.2? What is the colour of the solution and what will the pH be after the addition of the HCI? Select 2 correct answer(s) The colour of the solution after the addition of HCI will be clear and the pH will be less than 0.2. The colour of the solution after the addition of HCI will be violet and the pH will be higher than 0.2.
You have a 18 mL sample of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) with an unknown concentration and a pH of 8.35. You incubate this sample with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase to convert all of the acetylcholine to choline and acetic acid. The acetic acid dissociates to yield acetate and hydrogen ions. At the end of the incubation period, you measure the pH again and find that it has decreased to 6.03. Assuming there was no buffer in the assay mixture, determine the number of nanomoles of acetylcholine in the original 18 mL sample.
A conjugate acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A") is mixed to make buffer solutions. When 0.50 mol HA and 0.50 mol A are mixed into 1.00 L solution, the pH of the solution is 4.87. Calculate the pH of the buffer solution by mixing 0.25 mol HA and 0.75 mol A into 1.00 L solution. Your pH value should have the form of XXX, XX.X, X.XX or 0.XXX.
Suppose you are asked to prepare a buffer solution for an upcoming experiment using stock solutions of the weak acid and its conjugate base. Use the following information to determine the volumes of weak acid, conjugate base and distilled water you will need to make the buffer solution: You have 1.0 M stock sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3) solution, pKa=10.33 You also have 1.0 M stock disodium carbonate (NaCO3) solution The final buffer solution should have a concentration of 80 mM, a volume of 500 mL, and a pH of 9.60 First, use the HH equation to calculate the ratio of the two stock solutions you will need to mix together to reach the target pH, and report this ratio. Next, calculate and report the volumes of weak acid, conjugate base and dH2O you will need to prepare the buffer. No sample calculation is necessary. Hints: • Calculate the volume of distilled water by considering the HA and A- stock solutions as a single mixture of 1.0 M buffer. This way, it's easier to calculate the…
