For different enzymes, there is an optimum pH at which the enzyme is most active. For example, for enzymes of gastric juice optimum pH 1-2, for duodenal enzymes pH 7.7, for liver enzymes pH 9.5, etc. Determine which medium (a or b) is most favorable for each of the enzymes mentioned above if the following substances are added to 1.0 liter of water: a) 0.040 mol KOH and 0.030 mol HBr; b) 4.0 - 10-9 mol HNO3. Neglect the change in the volume of the solution. Confirm your answer with calculations.
