Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is given as,

                                         pH  =  pKa  +  log [A⁻] / [HA]   -------- (1)

Solution:

Convert Ka into pKa,

                                         pKa  =  -log Ka

                                         pKa  =  -log 1.37 × 10⁻⁴

                                         pKa  =  3.863

Putting value of pKa and pH in eq.1,

                                         4.29  =  3.863 + log [lactate] / [lactic acid]

Or,

                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  4.29 - 3.863

                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  0.427

Taking Anti log,

                             [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  2.673

Result:

           2.673 M  lactate salt when mixed with 1 M Lactic acid produces a buffer of pH = 4.29.

What is the [OH-] of a substance that has a pH of 11?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

0.001 M OH-

Explanation:

[OH-] = 10^-pOH, so

pOH + pH = 14 and 14 - pH = pOH

14 - 11 = 3

[OH⁻] = 10⁻³ ; [OH-] = 0.001 M OH-

A plasma membrane and a cell wall _____.
klemol [59]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>D. Have different structures and different functions</em>

A plasma membrane and a cell wall <em><u>have different structures and different functions</u></em>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Plasma membrane</u></em> is a structure that is found in <u><em>both animal cell and plants cells</em></u>. It is made up of a <u><em>bi-layer consisting of lipid and proteins</em></u>. Plasma membrane are semi-permeable which means the<em><u> allow selective movement of materials in and out of the cell. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Cell wall</u></em>, on the other hand is a structure that is found on plant cells and lacks in animal cell. It <em><u>contains cellulose in its structure </u></em>which enables it to be rigid and enhances it <em><u>protect the cell from mechanical damage</u></em> from harsh conditions such as pressure in the outside environment.

Why does water with salt in it freeze much more slower than water without it ? Explain
serg [7]
When you add salt to water, you lower to freezing point of the substance.

So for example, normal water freezes at 0°C. But water with salt in it won't freeze at 0°C, because its freezing point is lowered. 

In answer to the question. It takes longer for water with salt in it to freeze because the substance requires a lower temperature than normal water to freeze.
