Describe buffer solutions in terms of acid-base equilibria. Give an example. How can you overwhelm buffer capacity?
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.

- Consider a titration where 0.215 M potassium hydroxide is added from a burette to 10.00 mL of hydrochloric acid in an Erlenmeyer flask under the burette. A few drops of phenolphthalein are added to the acid in the Erlenmeyer flask. Discuss how the pH of the solution in the Erlenmeyer flask changes as the titration is carried out. Your response should focus on the pH at the beginning of the titration (before the addition of any base), the pH at the equivalence point, and the pH past the equivalence point.arrow_forwardIn an experiment a student wanted to test the pH of a compound NaOH. So they made a solution with some solid NaOH and dissolved it into water. The student was able to find the pH of NaOH to be about 13.

- An acid-base equilibrium system is created by dissolving 0.50 mol CH3CO2H in water to a volume of 1.0 L. What is the effect of adding 0.50 mol CH3CO2–(aq) to this solution? 1.The pH of the solution will equal 7.00 because equal concentrations of a weak acid and its conjugate base are present. 2.Some CH3CO2H(aq) will ionize, increasing the concentration of CH3CO2–(aq) and increasing the pH.3.Some CH3CO2–(aq) will react with H3O+, increasing the concentration of CH3CO2H(aq) and reestablishing the solution equilibrium. b. 2 only c. 3 only d. 1 and 3 e. 1, 2, and 3arrow_forwardEquimolar quantities of potassium fluoride and hydrofluoric acid are placed into solution.
