If the hydronium ion concentration of a weak acid is 6.32 x 10 M what is the
pH?
Which of the following solutions is the most basic?(a) 0.6 M NH3, (b) 0.150 M KOH, (c) 0.100 M Ba1OH22
The average blood pH is 7.40. The blood volume in humans, on average, is 5 liters. On average bicarbonate concentration in blood is 25 mM. A vinegar jar has a label that says its acetic acid concentration is 3.0%, meaning 3.0 g of acetic acid in 100 mL vinegar. (1) How many mL of vinegar does a person have to intake in order to lower the blood pH to 7.25? (2) if ALL the bicarbonate in 5.0 L of blood is neutralized by vinegar, how many mL of vinegar will be needed? (3) When all the bicarbonate ions are neutralized to carbonic acid, what will be the resulting blood pH?
Note: pKa values for carbonic acid (diprotic acid) are 6.4 and 10.3, respectively.
