A compound has two carboxyls and one aminium group. The pKas of the groups are 2, 4.6, and 8.6, respectively. A biochemist has 100 mL of a 0.10 M solution of this compound at a pH of 5.2. She adds 38 mL of 0.1 M NaOH. To the nearest hundredth of a unit, what will be the pH of the solution after addition of the NaOH (assume full stirring to reach a new equilibrium)? Hint: See the Acids and Bases handout on Canvas.

Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies are diseases related to the impaired ability to oxidize fatty acids via beta oxidation. Symptoms of these acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies include hypoketosis [low blood levels of ketone bodies], hypoglycemia [low blood glucose], and hyperammonemia [increased blood levels of ammonia] during long periods of fasting.
In what 2 ways is beta oxidation important during prolonged periods of fasting?

Acid deposition is the transfer of acids in the atmosphere to Earth\'s surface through precipitation, fog, and aerosols. The presence of air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), has caused acid deposition to occur. What are some of the results of acid deposition? Select all that apply.
corrosion of marble monuments
lower acidity levels in surface waters
greater soil nutrients
forest degradation
increased deaths from asthma
