Post-lab questions:
1. Provide the chemical structure of KHP, indicating the acidic
hydrogen.
2. Why is the solubility of KHP in water greater than many fatty
acids with six or more carbons?
3. What is the chemical difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
4. How many moles of NaOH are in 26.7 mL of a 0.100 M NaOH solution?
5. If the above volume of NaOH was required to titrate a fatty acid solution containing 0.753 g of an unknown fatty acid, what is the molar mass of the fatty acid?

On a lab exam, you have to find the concentrations of the monoprotic (one proton per molecule) acids HA and HB. You are given 42.6 mL of HA solution in one flask. A second flask contains 38.8 mL of HA, and you add enough HB solution to it to reach a final volume of 50.0 mL. You titrate the first HA solution with 87.3 mL of 0.0906 M NaOH and the mixture of HA and HB in the second flask with 96.4 mL of the NaOH solution. Calculate the molarity of the HA and HB solutions.

The process of synthesis of ATP in the mitochondria is also known
as ________________________________________________. Mitochondria
import ________________________ and _________________________,
which are used as sources of energy for subsequent reactions.
__________________________ acts as the final electron acceptor in
the mitochondrial electron-transport chain.
__________________________ produced in the citric acid cycle
donates electrons to the electron-transport chain. A molecule of
__________________________ is fed into the citric acid cycle and is
converted into __________________________, which is released as a
waste product.

At about 12 pm, before lunch, Louisa undertakes her daily exercise workout, which involves running continuously for 20 min at ~80% of her VO2 max.
During the period from 5 to 20 min there would be significant changes in the utilisation of carbohydrate and fatty acids when compared to when Louisa was sitting at her desk studying (i.e. at rest). List these changes.
