As mentioned during the lecture, a higher atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide leads to lower pH level of rain water. One of the higher-end projections for 2100 forecasts a carbon dioxide concentration of 910 ppm. Calculate the pH of the rainwater for this scenario. Refer to slide 20 of the PowerPoint for help with the calculation.

2. Aspirin is absorbed into the blood through the cells lining the stomach and the small intestine. Absorption requires passage through the plasma membrane, the rate of which is determined by the polarity of the molecule: charged and extremely polar molecules pass slowly, whereas neutral and hydrophobic ones pass rapidly a. The pH inside the stomach is around 2.0 and the pH of the contents of the small intestine is about 6.0. Which of the following statements is correct: i. The small intestine has 3 times lower [H] than the stomach. ii. The small intestine has 4 times lower [H ] than the stomach iii. The small intestine has 3,000 times lower [H] than the stomach iv. The small intestine has 10,000 times lower [H] than the stomach. b. The pKa of aspirin is 3.5. Draw the predominant form of aspirin and its overall charge (-1,0 or +1) when it is in the stomach or in the small intestine: Small Intestine (pH= 6.0): Stomach (pH 2.0) Overall Charge: Overall Charge:
The first step in purifying the urine collected on the ISS is to treat every liter of urine with 20 mL of 1.0 M H2SO4. To simplify the calculations, lets assume that urine is water. a) What is the pH of a solution of 20. mL of 1.0 M H2SO4 added to 1.00 L water? To determine this, you can safely assume that 100% of the H2SO4 reacts to form H3O+ and HSO4- ions. Use pKa2 (1.92) to determine if any more protons are added to the solution from HSO4-.

Let's assume that there is 400 μatm of pCO2 in our atmosphere. Assumingthere is nothing else in the water coming from the atmosphere, what is the pH of rainwater in equilibrium with this atmospheric CO2?Assume KH = 5.4x10-2 mol kg-1 atm-1. KC1 = 3.47×10-7 mol2 kg-2 for freshwater rain.Hint: Because rainwater is acidic, it has little/no alkalinity, thus the (H+] = Alk = [HCO3-]
Why is rainwater naturally acidic, even in the absence ofpolluting gases such as SO2?
