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.

Solutions are comprised of a solute and a solvent. Explain what makes a solution different than the generalized term “mixture.” What is meant by solute and solvent? Give three different examples of a solute and solvent coming together to form a solution. Do not use salt water as an example, and provide at least one non-aqueous solution.






Explain what is meant by an electrolyte, and how one can tell if a material would be a strong, weak, or non-electrolyte. Are acids and bases electrolytes? If so, are they a strong or a weak electrolyte – or does it depend on the acid/base?

The process of synthesis of ATP in the mitochondria is also known as ____


acetyl-CoA NADH carbon dioxide NADP+ NADPH fatty acids
oxidative phosphorylation glucose oxygen NAD+ pyruvate ADP
water ATP photophosphorylation reductive phosphorylation
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.

  1. You have had a drastic rapid change in pH; the protein buffer system has been activated and it:
  1. uses the amine group (NH2) as a weak base to bind H+ so as to raise the pH
  2. can be regulated by the lungs and the kidneys
  3. is an important buffer inside cells and in urine
  4. uses HPO4 to buffer strong acids
  5. is the least abundant and powerful of the buffers

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.

  1. List the primary sources of energy production / ATP generation during the first 30 seconds of exercise. You only need to list the sources.

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.
