The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. A scientist wanted to increase the rate of transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. The scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with an atomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. What do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from this experiment?

One of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid is a weak acid that, when placed in an aqueous solution, dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+). (See figure.)
If the pH of blood drops, one would expect ________.

Calculate the pH of a 1 L solution containing 0.100 M formic acid and 0.100 M sodium formate before and after the addition of 1.00 mL of 5.00 M NaOH. How much would the pH change if the NaOH were added to 1.00 L of pure water? (pKa for formic acid is 3.75)
