10. One characteristic of blood that we rarely give a thought to is its pH. The pH of blood must be held remarkably constant, varying only by a few hundredths of a pH unit from 7.36 to 7.40. Blood pH is kept constant primarily through the buffering action of the bicarbonate ion, HCO3-, and dissolved carbon dioxide, commonly represented as H2CO3. The second ionization is negligible in blood so that H2CO3 can be treated as a monoprotic acid. A) If the Ka1 for H2CO3 is 4.2 * 10-7, what ratio of HCO3- to H2CO3 is necessary to produce a buffer of pH 7.40? B) What is the pH of a buffer that is 1.0 M NaHCO3 and 1.0 M H2CO3? C) If you have 1.00 L of the buffer described above (1.0 M NaHCO3 and 1.0 M H2CO3) and 10.0 mL of 0.100 M HCl is added to it, what is the new pH? D) Just to prove that the buffer helps minimize changes in pH, calculate the pH of a solution prepared by adding 10.0 mL of 0.1 M HCl to 1.00 L of pure water.

2 An analytical chemist is titrating 220.6 mL of a 0.3500M solution of dimethylamine ((CH3) NH) with a 0.5200M solution of HNO3. The p Kof dimethylamine is 3.27. Calculate the pH of the base solution after the chemist has added 83.5 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.
