The vapors of some chemicals used in the chemistry laboratory, especially isocyanates, can react and bond the contact lens to the eye.
(FYI - the family of isocyanates include Superglue..I wouldn't want to have been the person who discovered this unfortunate reaction!)
A. Protons, neutrons, and electrons
Explanation:
acid should be handled with caution because it is dangerous as it may burn the skin
Answer:
pH = 7.8
Explanation:
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation may be used to solve the problem:
pH = pKa + log([A⁻] / [HA])
The solution of concentration 0.001 M is a formal concentration, which means that it is the sum of the concentrations of the different forms of the acid. In order to find the concentration of the deprotonated form, the following equation is used:
[HA] + [A⁻] = 0.001 M
[A⁻] = 0.001 M - 0.0002 M = 0.0008 M
The values can then be substituted into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = 7.2 + log(0.0008M/0.0002M) = 7.8
