What is the pH? Is the solution acidic or basic? c) Draw a titration curve for a molecule with a pKa = 4.7 and label all the axis, indicating clearly the buffering region and the pKa value. d) Calculate the fraction of histidine (amino acid shown below), that has its imidazole side chain protonated at pH 6.4.

The mixing of liquids is critical in microfluidic analytical systems and is often taking place in Y-shaped junctions as seen in Figure Q4b. The inlets are 50 μm wide and 50 µm high, and the outlet is 50 μm wide and 50 μm high. The aim of the device is to analyse IgG with a diffusion coefficient of 4-10 cm²-s¹. Determine the shortest length of the channel to ensure complete mixing when the flowrate in each of the inlet channels is 1 µl/h.

A new 850 cm^2 membrane is being tested for use in a hemodialysis device. During testing, a model fluid mixture is used that contains solutes with average radii of 1 nm. In one test, the concentration of the filtrate is found to be 2.17 g/L, while the concentration on the feed-side surface is 8.52 g/L. Prior experimentation showed that the mass transfer coefficient in the device was approximately 9 × 10-4 cm/s. A) If the total filtration flow rate is measured to be 0.56 cm^3/s, what is the solute concentration in the feed solution? B) Explain how you could determine the average membrane pore radius for this membrane using this information.
