When in solid state the charged particles (ions) are NOT free to move but when in melted the ions are free to move.

NeTakaya
It is achievable for the same enzyme to catalyze reverse reactions for the reason that the direction of a reversible reaction is determined by the concentrations of reactants and products. In pulmonary circulation, the low CO2 concentration supports the making of CO2 and H2O.

A cat travels 240 meters in 30 seconds, and a sprinter travels 100 meters in 9.5 seconds. Which is traveling faster, the cat or
joja [24]

Answer:

The cat

Explanation:

1) You need to find how many meters per second each thing is sprinting, so you can divide the meters by seconds for each.

\frac{240}{30} = 8 m/s\\\frac{100}{9.5} = around  10.5 m/s

2) Per second, the sprinter is able to achieve 8 meters, while the cat can do around 10.5 meters. 10.5 is greater than 8, making the cat faster than the sprinter.

Draw the structure of a compound with the molecular formula C9H10O2 that exhibits the following spectral data. (a) IR: 3005 cm-1
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The answer is 3-Phenylpropanoic acid (see attached structure)

Explanation:

From spectral data:

3005 cm-1 ⇒ carboxylic acid (broad band)

1670 cm-1 ⇒ C=C

1603 cm-1 ⇒ Aromatic C-C bond

H NMR frequency at 2.6 ppm, singlet, ⇒ OH with no surrounding protons, possible deshielding  (clearer investigation of  spectrum would be expedient).

Hence, our C9H10O2 compound has an aromatic ring and carboxylic acid group attached to it.

Which of the following acids should be used to prepare a buffer with a pH of 4.5?A. HOC6H4OCOOH, Ka = 1.0 x 10^-3B. C6H4(COOH)2,
ioda

Answer:

C. CH3COOH, Ka = 1.8 E-5

Explanation:

analyzing the pKa of the given acids:

∴ pKa = - Log Ka

A. pKa = - Log (1.0 E-3 ) = 3

B. pKa = - Log (2.9 E-4) = 3.54

C. pKa = - Log (1.8 E-5) = 4.745

D. pKa = - Log (4.0 E-6) = 5.397

E. pKa = - Log (2.3 E-9) = 8.638

We choose the (C) acid since its pKa close to the expected pH.

⇒ For a buffer solution formed from an acid and its respective salt, we have the equation Henderson-Hausselbach (H-H):

  • pH = pKa + Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])

∴ pH = 4.5

∴ pKa = 4.745

⇒ 4.5 = 4.745 + Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])

⇒ - 0.245 = Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])

⇒ 0.5692 = [CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH]

∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = ([H3O+].[CH3COO-])/[CH3COOH]

⇒ 1.8 E-5 = [H3O+](0.5692)

⇒ [H3O+] = 3.1623 E-5 M

⇒ pH = - Log ( 3.1623 E-5 ) = 4.5
