Question

1) A solution of acetic acid PKA= 4.75 has a pH of 6.75, the radio of acid to conjure in CH3COOH-CH3COO^++H^-.
2) the PH of blood is 7.4 while gastric juice is 1.4. How much mole time more H+ or less in gastric juice? 1) A solution of acetic acid PKA= 4.75 has a pH of 6.75, the radio of acid to conjure in CH3COOH-CH3COO^++H^-.

2) the PH of blood is 7.4 while gastric juice is 1.4. How much mole time more H+ or less in gastric juice?

Explanation / Answer

1)

pH = 6.75

pKa = 4.75

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

6.75 = 4.75 + log [CH3COO- / CH3COOH]

log [CH3COO- / CH3COOH] = 2

ratio [CH3COO- / CH3COOH] = 100

2)

pH of blood = 7.4

[H+] = 3.98 x 10^-8 M

pH of gastric juice = 1.4

[H+] = 0.0398 M

ratio = [gastric juice] / blood

         = 0.0398 / 3.98 x 10^-8

[gastric juice] = 1 x 10^6 [blood]

1x 10^6 times more.
