You have a 15 mL sample of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) with an unknown concentration and a pH of 8.06. You incubate this sample with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase to convert all of the acetylcholine to choline and acetic acid. The acetic acid dissociates to yield acetate and hydrogen ions. At the end of the incubation period, you measure the pH again and find that it has decreased to 5.91. Assuming there was no buffer in the assay mixture, determine the number of nanomoles of acetylcholine in the original 15 mL sample.

In this lab, we will experimentally determine the titration curve for the titration of a weak acid solution against a strong base solution. The weak acid we will use is potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHP, its chemical structure is shown below. KHP is an ionic compound composed of a potassium cation K+ and a hydrogen phthalate anion HP–. HP– is a weak acid and upon dissolving in water, can lower the pH of the solution. (a) Suggest the chemical reaction(s) when a solid sample of KHP is dissolved in water, writing out the chemical equations for them. (b) Sketch the structure of KHP from above and circle the hydrogen atom that is responsible for its acidity. (c) Calculate the pH of a solution made of 0.50 g of KHP and 50 mL of water. KHP has a molar mass of 204.2 g and at 25 °C has a pKa of 5.4.

Use the following information as a guide to help answer the next three questions. Your answer MUST be in the same format. Indicators can be used to help approximate the pH of a solution based on the indicator colour. Here is an example of how to word the pH approximation for bromothymol blue. Indicator Colour pH approximation Yellow 6.0 and below Green between .0 and 7.6 6. Blue 7.6 and above A Chemistry experiment is done where the pH of various solutions are tested, using indicators. The colours of indicators are recorded as shown below. Using the method outlined above in the example of bromothymol blue, indicate what the colours of the indicators tell us about the pH approximation of the solution. Values and wording are very important, so be precise. Be sure to word your pH approximation as outlined in the example.
