Chapter 2, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

The pH of a 1 M NH4Cl solution should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

For a weak acid or a weak base, the dissociation reaction is in equilibrium and the equilibrium constant is known as acid or base dissociation constant. For such a solution, concentration of each species is calculated using ICE table.

The pH of solution is calculated as follows:

    pH=log[H+]

Here, [H+] is concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.

Interpretation Introduction

(b) Interpretation:

The pH of solution resulting from addition of 10 mL of a 1 M NaOH to 40 mL of 1 M NH4Cl.

Concept Introduction:

For a buffer solution, pH is calculated using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation as follows:

    pH=pKa+log[Conjugate base][acid]

Here, pH is log[H+] of solution and pKa is -log(Ka) of weak acid.

Interpretation Introduction

(c) Interpretation:

The pH of the solution that results from the addition of 30 mL of 1 M NaOH to 40 mL of 1 M NH4Cl.

Concept Introduction:

For a buffer solution, pH is calculated using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation as follows:

    pH=pKa+log[Conjugate base][acid]

Here, pH is log[H+] of solution and pKa is -log(Ka) of weak acid.

Macmillan Learning Cholesterol synthesis begins with the formation of mevalonate from acetyl CoA. This process activates mevalonate and converts it to isopentenyl pyrophosphate. Identify the atoms in mevalonate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate that will be labeled from acetyl CoA labeled with 14C in the carbonyl carbon. Place 14C atoms and C atoms to denote which carbon atoms are labeled and which are not labeled. H₂C COA 14C-labeled acetyl-CoA HHH [c] H H OH 014C - OH H HH H Mevalonate CH3 H H 14C H Η H H Incorrect Answer of o -P-O-P-0- Isopentenyl pyrophosphate с Answer Bank 14C
