We have learned that the carbonyl oxygen is the most Lewis basic site on a carboxylic acid derivative, owing to the resonance contribution of the heteroatom attached to the carbonyl carbon. Consider the structures of the ester methyl benzoate and the amide N-methylbenzamide. Which carbonyl oxygen is more Lewis basic: the ester or the amide? HINT: consider the electron-donating ability of the heteroatom on the ester (O) vs. amide (N). Pho Ph N methyl benzoate N-methylbenzamide Answer: Explain your answer...
Consider a 0.203 L solution of the amino acid aspartic acid (0.615 M), which has an alpha carboxylic acid group (pka = 2.10), an alpha amine group (pka = 9.82), and a carboxylic acid group in the side chain (pka = 3.86). If the titration is started at a very low pH, how many liters of 2.15 M NaOH would you need to add to reach the isoelectric point of the amino acid? Give your answer to 3 significant figures...

3. Unpolluted rain has an approximate pH of 5.5. Natural emissions (from volcanoes and lightning), and human activity (from mining and industrial plants) emit compounds that mix with water vapor in the atmosphere to create "acid rain," which can have a pH-4.5. Referring to the pH equation, explain why decreasing pH numbers mean that the acidity is increasing. a. Referring to the pH equation, explain why more acidic solutions have lower pH values. b. Referring to the pH equation, explain...

A buffer solution is able to maintain a constant pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to the buffer. Consider what happens when 1 mL of a 5 M solution is added or 0.005 mol of HCl are added to a 100.0 mL solution acetic acid buffer that contains 0.0100 mol of Acetic acid, HC,H,O,, and 0.0100 mol of sodium acetate, NaC,H,O,. The initial concentration of both the acid and the base are 0.0100 mol/ 0.1000 L...
