The table of diprotic acids below shows how the acidity of the 1st proton is always much higher than the acidity of the second proton.Thus, the pH of the solution is dominated by the equilibrium for the loss of the 1st proton.

Compound Ka1 Ka2
H2CO3 4.3 X 10-7 5.6 X10-11
H2S 8.9 X 10-8 1.0 X 10-19
H2Te 2.3 X 10-3 1.6 X 10-11
H2SO3 1.7 X 10-2 6.4 X 10-8

What is the pH for a 1.12 M solution of Li2S?

  1. Catabolism of fatty acids stimulates gluconeogenesis in all of the following ways EXCEPT:
  1. By contributing to the production of NADH
  2. By providing carbons for the glucose skeleton
  3. By activating pyruvate carboxylase
  4. By contributing to the production of ATP
  5. By producing Acetyl-CoA

55. [NADPH/NADP+] is maintained at a high level in cells primarily by:

  1. Lactate dehydrogenase
  2. The combined actions of glucose -6 phosphate dehydrogenase and gluconolactonase
  3. The action of the electron transport chain
  4. Shuttle mechanisms as the α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase shuttle
  5. The combined actions of transketolase and transaldolase
  1. If a cell requires more ribose-5-phosphate than NADPH:
  1. Only the first phase of the pentose phosphate pathway would occur
  2. Glycolytic intermediates would flow into the reversible phase of the pentose phosphate pathway
  3. There would be sugar interconversions but no net release of carbons from glucose-6- phosphate
  4. The equivalent of the carbon atoms to glucose-6-phosphate would be released as 6CO2
  5. Only part of this need could be met by the pentose pathway and the rest would have to be supplied by another pathway.

The chief compound in marble is CaCO3. However, marble is readily attacked by acids.

[Ca2+] in normal rainwater of pH 5.0 = 0.024 M

a) Determine the molar solubility of marble (that is, [Ca2+] in a saturated solution).

b) Determine the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction that occurs when marble reacts with acid

CaCO3 (s) + H3O+ ↔ Ca2+ (aq) + HCO3- (aq) + H2O (l)

My problem is that I have been given no more information other than what is written above. I'm not sure how to go about solving it with this amount of information.

A steel sample weighing 1.000 g is dissolved in acids and treated with persulfate and periodate to oxidize Mn to MnO4- and Cr to Cr2O7-. The solution is finally diluted to 100.00 mL in a volumetric flask. An aliquot placed in a 1.00-cm cuvette yielded an absorbance of 0.113 at 440 nm and of 1.304 at 545 nm. The absorbance for a reagent blank was 0.005 at 440 nm and 0.008 at 545 nm. Calculate the percentages (m/m) of Cr and Mn in the steel. The molar absorptivity of Cr2O7- is 369 M-1cm-1 at 440 nm and 11 M-1cm-1 at 545 nm whereas that of MnO4- is 95 M-1cm-1 at 440 nm and 2350 M-1cm-1 at 545 nm. The molar mass of Mn is 54.94 g/mol and that of Cr is 52.00 g/mol.
