What is the ph of a solution which is 0. 023 m in weak base and 0. 037 m in the conjugate weak acid ( a = 7. 1 × 10^−6)?

1 answer:

5 0

The pH of a solution which is 0.023 m in weak base and 0 037 m in the conjugate weak acid whose Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁶ is 4.93.

pH determines the amount of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in a solution. It is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

Given,

Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁶

Weak base = 0.023M

Acid = 0.037M

Using base dissociation constant, Ka we can calculate pKa by:

pKa = -log [Ka]

pKa = -log [7.1 × 10⁻⁶]

pKa = 5.15

A weak base and its conjugate acid are present in equal proportions in buffer solution. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, we can find out the pH of a buffer solution that constitutes a weak base and its conjugate acid.

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log [Weak base / acid]

pH = 5.15 + log [0.023 / 0.037]

pH = 5.15 + log[0.6]

pH = 5.15 - 0.22

pH = 4.93

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 4.93.

What is the IMA of the lever pictured? 0.18 0.20 0.90 5

IceJOKER [234]

The ideal mechanical advantage represents the number of times the input force is multiplied under ideal conditions, that is with no friction. Actual mechanical advantage on the other hand stands for the number of times the input force is multiplied.
Hence; IMA (ideal mechanical advantage)=Le/Lr
The Lr =0.3 +1.2 = 1.5 and Le= 0.3
= 0.3/1.5 = 1/5;
therefore the correct answer is 0.2

Some glucose produced by gluconeogenesis is stored in the body as glycogen. Order the steps of glycogen synthesis.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

e. UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the reaction of glucose-I-phosphate and UTP to UDP-glucose and PPi

a. Pyrophosphatase converts PPi and water into two Pi

b. Glycogen synthase adds a glucose unit from UDP-glucose to glycogen, producing a larger glycogen molecule and UDP

Explanation:

Glycogen synthesis or glycogenesis is the process of synthesis of glycogen molecules from glucose molecules in living organisms. Glycogen is a polysaccharide storage form of glucose and helps to store excess glucose in the body form use when required by the body.

The synthesis of glycogen involves sugar nucleotides. Sugar nucleotides are compounds in which a sugar molecule is attached to a nucleotide through phosphate ester bond, resulting in the activation of the sugar molecule. The sugar nucleotides then are used as substrates for the polymerization of the monosaccharide sugars into disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.

In the synthesis of glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate from phosphorylation of free glucose by hexokinase is first isomerized to glucose-1-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase.

Glucose-1-phosphate is then converted to UDP-glucose by its reaction with UTP catalyse by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase. The reaction is favoured by the rapid hydrolysis of PPi produced to two molecules of inorganic phosphate by the enzyme pyrophosphatase.

Glycogen synthase then adds a glucose unit from UDP-glucose to a growing chain of glycogen, producing a larger glycogen molecule and free UDP.

How you could use the scientific method to learn whether water really does take longer to boil if you are watching it.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation below

Explanation:

A scientific method is a sequence of steps that is used to solve a problem. Every scientific method begins with a problem that needs to be solved.

Hence, in order to determine whether water really does take longer to boil if you are watching it, we employ the steps involved in a scientific method.

1) Ask a question/Make observation: This must initiate the process. The observation/question made here is that DOES WATER TAKE LONGER TIME TO BOIL WHEN WATCHED?

2. Formulating hypothesis; an hypothesis is a testable prediction of a possible solution to the stated problem. In this case, an hypothesis could read: IF water is watched while boiling, THEN it will take a longer time to boil. A hypothesis must be tested for it to be proved or disproved.

3. Test hypothesis: The formulated hypothesis is tested via conducting an experiment. The set up of the experiment can involve one group where water is boiled while watching it and another where water is boiled without watching. The former group is called Experimental group, while the latter group is called Control group. The time it takes for each group of water to boil will be recorded.

The independent variable (manipulated variable) will be the WATCHING, while the dependent variable (tested/responding variable) will be the TIME IT TAKES FOR WATER TO BOIL

4. Analyse the data; the data refers to the recorded time for each group of water. This will be analysed and compared.

5. Make conclusion; the conclusion depends on the result, which is the recorded time for each group of boiled water. Based on the result, the hypothesis can either be rejected or accepted. For example, if the control group boils faster than the experimental group, our hypothesis will be accepted but if otherwise, the hypothesis will be rejected.

Therefore, via the scientific method, it can be determined if it really takes longer time for water to boil while watched.
