Imagine an isolated, 10-liter cylinder containing one mole of ideal gas held in the left five liters of the cylinder by a piston, initially locked in place. The right half of the cylinder is evacuated; the entire system is maintained at constant temperature. When the piston is freed to move frictionlessly, we could track the motion of the piston and the volume in 1-liter increments. Calculate the change in entropy (in J mol^-1 K^-1) of the gas upon expansion after each of the five 1-liter increments. Demonstrate that the total entropy is indeed maximized when the expansion is complete. Make a table.

A compound has carboxyl group, an aminium group, and a guanidinium group. The pKas of the groups are 3.6, 9.7, and 12.8, respectively. A biochemist has 100 mL of a 0.10 M solution of this compound at a pH of 9.2. She adds 37 mL of 0.1 M HCl. To the nearest hundredth of a unit, what will be the pH of the solution after addition of the HCl (assume full stirring to reach a new equilibrium)?

Dimethylamine, (CH3)2NH, is an organic base with pKb= 3.23at 298 K. In an experiment, a 40.0 mL sample of 0.105mol/L-1(CH3)2NH(aq)is titrated with 0.150mol/L-11HI(aq)at 298 K.
(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the neutralization reaction upon which this titration is based, and indicate clearly which atom is being protonated. Then, calculate the equilibrium constant for the neutralization reaction. (Hint: To calculate the equilibrium constant, you may find it helpful to represent the neutralization reaction as the sum of twoor morereactions.)
