Histidine has ionizable groups with pKa values of 1.8, 6.0, and 9.2, as shown below. A biochemist makes up 100 mL of a 0.100 M solution of histidine at a pH of 5.40. She then adds 40 mL of 0.10 M HCl. What is the pH of the resulting solution? The book answer is 2.4. Please show work to help me understand how they arrived at this.

All amino acids have two ionizable functional groups: an α-amino group (average pKa of 9.4) and an α-carboxylic acid group (average pKa of 2.2). Arginine also has an ionizable side chain (R group) with a pKa of ~12.5. One of the possible ionization states of arginine is shown below. At what pH would the above structure be the predominant ionization state? Note: Consider the ionization state of all three of the functional groups. The protonated form of the R group...
