Answer:

The characteristics are as follows:

-It is microscopic.

-It contains three sub atomic particles namely: electrons, protons and neutrons.

-It is the smallest unit of any substance (except for living bodies since smallest unit of them is cell).

-When seen from microscope atoms appear to be blur, spheres.

-They form ions(by losing or gaining electrons) and molecules(by combining with itself or other atoms).

Hope this helps :)

Indicate which of the following criteria are important for the selection of a buffer to use in an in vitro biochemical reaction.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.

Explanation:

The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.

Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.

How does a buffer resist change in ph upon addition of a strong acid?

lora16 [44]

Any buffer exists in this equilibrium

HA <=> $H^+ + A^-$
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base ( $A^-$ )

When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base ( $A^-$ ) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.
