2. Rank the following in order of increasing pKa. Explain your reasoning behind the order you choose.
propanoic acid dichloracetic acid acetic acid chloroacetic acid propanamide
3. Calculate the pH of a buffer solution made from 0.20 M HC2H3O2 and 0.50 M C2H3O2- that has an acid dissociation constant for HC2H3O2 of 1.8 x 10-5.
4. What is the ratio of [bicarbonate]/[carbonic acid] at the blood pH = 7.4? (The pKa of carbonic acid = 6.4)
5. How many moles of sodium acetate must be added to 0.120 moles of acetic acid and sufficient water to make a liter if we want a buffer with a pH of 4.50? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.74.
