Explanation / Answer

1) Answer: D
Given; pH = 4
-log[H+] = 4
[H+] = 10^-4 = 0.0001 M

Therefore; Answer is D

2) Answer: D

A hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F) experiences the electrostatic field of another highly electronegative atom nearby.

Since all the options contain the hydrogen attached to an electronegative atom, so all the possibilities form hydrogen bonds.
Therefore, Answer is: D

3) Answer: D

Nitrogen and oxygen are often formed hydrogen-bond acceptor in biological molecules.


4) Answer: C
Given that pH is one unit higher than pKa

Henderson–Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

pH-pKa = log[A-]/[HA]

1= log[A-]/[HA]
[A-]/[HA] = 10

[A-]/[HA] = 10:1 .

Therefore, answer is C
