Answer : The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
Explanation :
The mixture consists of carbonic acid ( H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate ion ( HCO₃⁻). This represents a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate which is a buffer.
The pH of a buffer is calculated using Henderson equation which is given below.
![pH = pKa + log \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20pKa%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
We have been given,
pH = 7.5
pKa of carbonic acid = 6.3
Let us plug in the values in Henderson equation to find the ratio Base/Acid.
![7.5 = 6.3 + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7.5%20%3D%206.3%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
![1.2 = log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1.2%20%3D%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
![\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 10^{1.2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%20%3D%2010%5E%7B1.2%7D)
![\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 15.8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%20%3D%2015.8)
![[Base] = 15.8 \times [Acid]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BBase%5D%20%3D%2015.8%20%5Ctimes%20%5BAcid%5D)
The total of mole fraction of acid and base is 1. Therefore we have,
![[Acid] + [Base] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%2B%20%5BBase%5D%20%3D%201)
But Base = 15.8 x [Acid]. Let us plug in this value in above equation.
![[Acid] + 15.8 \times [Acid] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%2B%2015.8%20%5Ctimes%20%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%201)
![16.8 [Acid] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=16.8%20%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%201)
![[Acid] = \frac{1}{16.8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B16.8%7D)
![[Acid] = 0.0595](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%200.0595)
[Acid] = 0.0595 x 100 = 5.95 %
The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
Answer:
0.6 Ω
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Voltage (V) = 12 V
Current (I) = 20 A
Resistance (R) =?
From Ohm's law,
V = IR
Where:
V => is the voltage
I => is the current
R => R is the resistance
With the above formula, we can obtain the resistance as follow:
Voltage (V) = 12 V
Current (I) = 20 A
Resistance (R) =?
V = IR
12 = 20 × R
Divide both side by 20
R = 12 / 20
R = 0.6 Ω
Thus the resistance is 0.6 Ω
Answer:
6.67 M
Explanation:
Molarity = 
<em>Convert 200g NaOH to moles. Convert 750 mL to L.</em>
200 g NaOH x (1 mol/39.998 g) = 5.00025... mol NaOH
750 mL x (1 L/1000 mL) = 0.750 L
<em>Substitute values into the equation.</em>
Molarity = 
Molarity = 6.667... M
Molarity = 6.67 M
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since in a dilution process the moles of the solute must remain unchanged, we use the volumes and molarities as shown below:

Clearly, the concentrated solution is 12M and the diluted solution is 0.5 M, thus, the volume of the concentrated solution we should take is:

Best regards.
Answer:
Oxidation or Exothermic reaction
Explanation:
Oxidation means gain of oxygen.
Exothermic means loss of heat to combine 2 elements
