Question

Please answer all parts to QUESTION 4 ONLY, posted with other questions as first attempt was rejected for lack of information. This is all that is provided. Please answer QUESTION 4 part A and thoroughly and with explanations. 

1. A weak acid HA, has a pK of 5.0. If 1.0 mol of this acid and 0.1 mol of NaOH were dissolved in one liter of
water, what would the final pH be? (hint: First write the acid base reaction that occurs and use an ice table to
find the concentration of the acid and conjugate base at the end of the reaction.)
2. Making a buffer solution. Suppose you add 100 mL of a solution containing 5M of acetic acid to 400 mL of
0.5 M NaOH. Write the acid base reaction that is taking place and use an ICE table to show how the number of
moles of each species changes. What is the final pH of the buffer solution? (The pK of acetic acid is 4.7.)
3. a) A weak acid has a pKa of 5.5. A buffer (1L) is prepared by adding NaOH to a 1M solution of the weak
acid until the pH=6.0. Calculate the number of moles of HA and A- in the buffer solution.
b) 150 ml of 1.0 M HCl is added to the buffer in part a. What reaction is taking place and what will the resulting
pH be?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Ionic forms of Aspartic acid

Aspartic acid is a triprotic acid, It can give 3 protons from 3 ionizable groups 

  1. from the carboxylic group near to NH3+
  2. From the amino group
  3. From the side chain carboxyl group

with pKa values 2.1,9.7 and 3.9 respectively. Remember of pKa  values are the pH at which half of the group deprotonate. For example pKa for side chain is 3.9 which indicates half of the side chain carboxylic acid deprotonates and becomes negatively charged. When the pH increases further then deronated form also increases. When the amino group loses protons loses the positive charge but carboxylic group has negative charge while deprotonate.

The 3 predominant ionic forms as pH increases  

  1. lose protons from  carboxylic acid near to aminogroup
  2. Both carboxylic acids lose protons 
  3.  all the group derotonateBiochemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1
