As a technician in a large pharmaceutical research firm, you need to produce 400. mL of 1.00 M a phosphate buffer solution of pH = 7.08. The pKa of H2PO4− is 7.21. You have 2.00 LL of 1.00 M KH2PO4 solution and 1.50 L of 1.00 M K2HPO4 solution, as well as a carboy of pure distilled H2O. How much 1.00 M KH2PO4 will you need to make this solution?

All of these problems involve preparation and use of a vaccine solution that contains an active agent in an aqueous solution. The active agent in the vaccine degrades in aqueous solutions with first-order kinetics. The half-life of the active agent in water 25o C is 8.4 hours. The vaccine should be administered at a concentration of at least 20 μg/L to be fully effective.
1. Calculate the rate constant, k1, at 25o C. Be sure to include the units.
2. Suppose a stock solution of the vaccine with a concentration of 25 μg/L is prepared in a clinic at 8:30 am. The clinic plans to store this solution at 25o C and use it for all of the patients that are seen for morning appointments between 9:00 am – 12:00 noon. Is this a good practice? Justify your answer. Will the vaccine be effective for all of these patients? If not, at what time will the concentration of the active agent fall below the effective level?
3. The half-life of the active agent is measured at 4o C and found to be 11.5 hours. What is the activation energy for the degradation reaction?
4. A stock solution of the vaccine is prepared at 8:30 am and stored in a refrigerator at 4o C. It will be used for all of the patients with morning appointments between 9:00 am – 12:00 noon. However, the last patient of the morning was delayed and did not arrive until 12:30 pm. What is the concentration of the active agent in the stock solution at that time? Can the vaccine still be used?

2. Look up a coffee-cup calorimeter in your textbook and
describe the components of the apparatus. (2 points) Assuming that
the calorimeter prevents any heat to be taken in or released, the
amount of heat transferred between the system and the surroundings
should be equal in value but opposite in sign. For example, if a
hot piece of metal gives off 5 J of energy, than the surrounding
water should take in 5 J of energy. (Remember exothermic processes
have a “-“q while endothermic process have a “+” q).
qsystem = - qsurroundings
With that being said, the transfer of heat during a chemical reaction can be concluded as
qsystem (aka the reaction) = - qsurroundings (aka the solution)
and since we know that…
q = C x m x DT
we can conclude that…
crxn x mrxn x DTrxn= - (csoln x msoln x DTsoln)
(note that the “-“ sign is just to show that they are equal but opposite. The actual value of the rxn and solution depend on the reaction that took place)
