You are conducting a series of experiments on the effects of 2-chlorophenol (pk=8.56) on a microorganism by adding varying concentrations of 2-chlorophenol to an electrolyte solution consisting of 0.01 m nacl. you can safely assume that nothing other than the chlorophenol will affect the ph of the water. do not ignore activity coefficient corrections in this problem. a. you want to monitor the concentration of total chlorophenol (i.e., the sum of the protonated and deprotonated forms) in the test solutions. derive an equation to show how the total chlorophenol concentration can be monitored with a ph meter. b. graph the relationship between ph and total chlorophenol concentration between ph 6 and 7. c. assuming that the ph meter is only accurate to 3 significant figures, what is the lowest detectable chlorophenol concentration? (i.e., at what total chlorophenol concentration will ph equal 6.995? )
