Why is there more co2 in the air that you breathe out than in the air that you inhale?

CO2 is produced during respiration by mitochondria.
To know why there is more CO2 in the air that you breathe out than the CO2 which you inhale, we have to know that the carbon which we breathe out as carbon dioxide comes from the waste products (the carbon in the food we eat) like the carbohydrates, fat, and protein which converted in the body by biochemical pathways to glucose. the end products of oxidation of glucose are water and carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide which dissolved in the human blood is carried to the air in the lung by circulation before it exhales.

Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.235M benzoic acid and 0.130M sodium benzoate, a salt whose anion is the conjugate base
lesantik [10]

Hello!

We have the following data:

ps: we apply Ka in benzoic acid to the solution.

[acid] = 0.235 M (mol/L)

[salt] = 0.130 M (mol/L)

pKa (acetic acid buffer) =?

pH of a buffer =?

Let us first find pKa of benzoic acid, knowing that Ka (benzoic acid) = 6.20*10^{-5}

So:

pKa = - log\:(Ka)

pKa = - log\:(6.20*10^{-5})

pKa = 5 - log\:6.20

pKa = 5 - 0.79

\boxed{pKa = 4.21}

Now, using the abovementioned data for the pH formula of a buffer solution or (Henderson-Hasselbalch equation), we have:

pH = pKa + log\:\dfrac{[salt]}{[acid]}

pH = 4.21 + log\:\dfrac{0.130}{0.235}

pH = 4.21 + log\:0.55

pH = 4.21 + (-0.26)

pH = 4.21 - 0.26

\boxed{\boxed{pH = 3.95}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Note:. The pH <7, then we have an acidic solution.

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

An object had a mass of 8.5 g and a volume of 17 mL. What is the density of the object?
forsale [732]
That would be 0.5 g/ml because Density is equal to mass divided by volume and 8.5 is half of 17.

Answer:

2Mg(s) +O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)

Explanation:

Mg(s) +O₂(g) → MgO(s)

When a chemical equation is balanced, the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the arrow. We usually balance O and H last.

In this case, the number of Mg atoms is equal on both sides. Thus, let's move on to balance the O atoms. On the left side, there are 2 O atoms, while there is only 1 O atom on the left side. Thus, write a '2' in front of MgO.

Mg(s) +O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)

Now, the number of Mg atoms is not equal. Write a '2' in front of Mg to balance it.

2Mg(s) +O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)

The equation is now balanced with 2 Mg atoms and 2 O atoms on each side.
