1. Please illustrate the molecular structure of pyruvic acid, a weak acid. Identify the conjugate base of pyruvic acid. Given that the total concentration of pyruvic acid ( inclusive of both the weak acid and its conjugate base) in a red blood cell's cytoplasm is 0.051 M, determine the individual concentrations of the weak acid and conjugate base forms of pyruvic acid within a typical red blood cell. Consider the cytoplasm's pH of 7.4 and the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for pyruvic acid, which is 3.2 \

Suggest a reason why amino acids are usually more soluble at pH extremes than they are at neural pH.
A student added a total of 75 mL sodium hydroxide to titrate an amino acid solution of unknown concentration. They also calculated that they added a total of 14 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrive at pH 2.6 and a total of 32 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrvive at pH 4.8. Information about the molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution used and the initial volume of the unknown amino acid can be derived from the image. What was the initial concentration of the amino acid solution in milimolar (mM)? The calculations must be presented such that those can be recapitulated by the marker.

Each row represents an experimental “run” (in this case, averaged sample of mango wine). Column A shows the run number; Column B shows the percentage of ethanol; Column C shows the amount of glycerol (in g/L); Column D shows the amount of acid (in g/L); Column E shows the temperature of the run (in °C); and Column F shows the pH of the run. Y represents Ethanol of mango wine. 1. Create a scatterplot of the ethanol data for all 20 runs a. Draw a graphical representation of the model that you chose to use. b.
