Your signature and UF ID on the following pages of the exam verify that you have received all questions. You should have 7 pages total, for 100 points plus 9 bonus points. Read each page carefully and give concise answers. If drawings or equations can help explain your answer by all means use them but make sure they are correctly represented.
(2 pt) What is so unique about water, enabling it to form strong H-bonds? a. Its full ionic character b. Its tetrahedral structure c. Its static nature d. Its dipole e. a and b are correct f. b and d are correct
(6 pt) Draw the structure of water to show how it can participate in H-bonding and describe briefly why? Does H-bonding ability of water change with temperature? If so,
then how? ~ e~~ () ~ i- ~ l* .-^ / I "^0 /^ I l-t.-k ht.tlr v\ 4- rut ~

(3 pts) Is the following statement TRUE or FALSE? "Freezing a food slow will lead to few nuclei that give rise to many small ice crystals"
(2 pt) Adding a solute to water will a. depress the freezing point b. decrease the vapor pressure of water c. will raise the boiling point of water d. a& conly e. all of these are correct
(4 pt) Mark the two statements below that describe the properties of a weak acid a. completely dissociates when put in solution b. partially dissociates when put in solution
d. can be described by the relationship pH = -log[acid] e. none of these statements apply
(2 pt) Weak acids are important to food systems as a. flavoring agents b. for microbial control c. buffers for food systems d. all of these are correct e. none of these are correct

(6 pts) Draw what a theoretical titration curve would look like when one of the compounds above is titrated with a strong base (your choice). Label the pKa and isoelectric point on the graph and show what both axes represent. You get 2 bonus points if you can show the ionization of the selected compound during the titration process and 1 more for identifying the amino acid.
