Determine the limiting reactant (LR) and the mass (in g) of H2O that can be formed from 15.0 g C8H18 and 45.0 g O2. (10) (Molar masses: C8H18 = 114 g/mol, O2 = 32 g/mol, CO2 = 44 g/mol.)  2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O

Ascorbic acid is Vitamin C, an essential dietary component since humans don’t make it themselves. Its pKa is 4.2. In human serum, that is buffered to pH 7.3, will vitamin C be primarily in the neutral form or the conjugate base anion ionized form?  

In neutral water at pH 7 the concentrations of H3O+ and -OH are identical, both are 10-7 M. If hydrochloric acid is added to neutral water such that the pH decreases to 3.0, what is the concentration of -OH after addition of the acid? pH = -log10 [H3O+] Kw  = 1 × 10-14
