1. The pH of a 1.0 X 10^-7 M HCl aqueous solution is 6.79, and not 7.00 as you might expect with a simple pH = -log[H3O+] calculation. Propose an explanation for this phenomenon.
2. The AIDS drug zalcitabine (known as ddc) is a weak base with a pkb of 9.8. What percentage of the base is protonated in an aqueous zalcitabine solution containing 565 mg/L?
