There is a fourth category, consisting of salts that contain the cation of a weak base with the anion of a weak acid. Prediction of the acid—base character of these salts is less obvious, because both ions undergo hydrolysis. The two equilibria not only alter the pH of the solution, but also interfere with each other. Predictions require a comparison of the K values for...

Determine the values of AH° and AS° for each stage of the Ostwald process for the production of nitric acid. Predict the conditions of pressure and temperature that favor the formation of the products in each case. 

Given the isoelectric points of several amino acids, predict the directions of their migration during electrophoresis at a given pH. 

The acidity (as estimated both by the deprotonation energies and by the positive charges on H atoms) increases in the sequence OH0 < OH < OH°° < OH ° < OHoot. This is in agreement with the acidities predicted by the electrostatic model of Knozinger (138).

Beyond nucleic acids, prediction of protein structure is becoming a major effort for drug hunters in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. There are a series of links to research into protein folding from various academic groups as shown in Table 11.4. 

For each of the following pairs of acids, predict which will have the larger value of ifaj and explain your reasoning. 

The crystal structures of a series of ureylene-dicarboxylic acids, predicted to form a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network, have been determined as part of a project directed towards the design of molecular solids [749]. The ureylene-dicarboxylic acids were prepared, for example, from glycyl-glycine and triphosgene.

From the p/Tg values of the unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted carboxylic acids, predict whether inductive electron withdrawal or resonance electron donation is a more important effect for a CH30 group. 

Suppose sodium chloride and sodium iodide were treated with sulfuric acid. Predict the likely halogen- and sulfur-containing products in each case and discuss why they differ.
