A new potential heart medicine, code-named X-281, is being tested by a pharmaceutical company, Pharma-pill. As a research technician at Pharma-pill, you are told that X-281 is a monoprotic weak acid, but because of security concerns, the actual chemical formula must remain top secret. The company is interested in the drug's Ka value because only the dissociated form of the chemical is active in preventing cholesterol buildup in arteries. To find the pKa of X-281, you prepare a 0.092 M test solution of X-281 at 25.0 °C. The pH of the solution is determined to be 3.00. What is the pKa of X-281? Express your answer numerically. • View Available Hint(s) ? pKa = 4.2 Submit Previous Answers

the two ammonia species are ammonia (NH3) and the ammonium ion (NH4+. The total ammonia concentration is equal to the sum of both species (NH3+NH4+). Un-ionized NH4+↔NH3+H+ pka=6.34 if the total ammnia species has a concentation of 5M at a pH of 8. what is the concentration of ammonia (NH3)?
5.) Ripley, a flight officer for the Weyland-Yutani corporation, in the year 2312, landed on the planet LV-426 where a derelict alien ship was discovered and an alien species was found to have acid for blood. Upon inspection, the pH of the blood was found to have a pH of -21. Is the acid strong, what is the [H*]? In other words, can Ripley pet the aliens... are they dangerous?
An analytical chemist is titrating 126.8 mL of a 0.2600M solution of diethylamine ((C₂H), NH) with a 0.1600M solution of HNO3. The pK, of diethylamine is 2.89. Calculate the pH of the base solution after the chemist has added 83.3 mL of the HNO3 solution to it. Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of HNO3 solution added. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. pH = 0 x 5 ? do
