Hi all
I got an exercise:
Cells were floated in a mass in a solution with 150mM of NaCl (isotonic conditions). A weak acid was added to the solution with a pK of 7.0 and concentration of 50mM in the solution.
What is the tonicity and osmoticity of the new solution if PH=4
I know that I should use the following equation:
log([A-]/[HA]) = PH - pKa
But It seem that I am getting the wrong result.
Can somebody help?
