The pH of blood is 7.35. It is maintained in part by the buffer system composed of carbonic acid (H2CO3) and the bicarbonate (hy

drogen carbonate, HCO3-) ion.What is the ratio of [bicarbonate]/[carbonic acid] at this pH? For carbonic acid, Ka1 = 4.2 10-7.a) [bicarbonae]/[carbonic acid] = 0.11.b) [bicarbonate]/[carbonic acid] = 9.4.c) [bicarbonate]/[carbonic acid] = 0.38.d) None of the above ratios is correct.e) [bicarbonate]/[carbonic acid] = 2.65.

Answer:

b) [bicarbonate]/[carbonic acid] = 9.4

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer system is given by the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

  • pH = pKa + log ([bicarbonate] / [carbonic acid])

Where pka = -log (Ka) = -log(4.2x10⁻⁷) = 6.38

Now we <u>solve for [bicarbonate] / [carbonic acid]</u>:

  • 7.35 = 6.38 + log ([bicarbonate] / [carbonic acid])
  • 0.97 = log ([bicarbonate] / [carbonic acid])
  • 10^{0.97} = [bicarbonate] / [carbonic acid]
  • [bicarbonate] / [carbonic acid] = 9.33 ≈ 9.4

So the answer is b).

Which electron configuration represents an excited state for an atom for calcium
vaieri [72.5K]

The electron configuration that represent an excited state for an atom of calcium is 2, 8, 7, 3.

Calcium atom has an atomic number of 20 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 2. An atom is said to be in an excited state if it gains energy and move to an higher energy level. For the calcium atom given above, there are 20 electrons which are distributed into four shells. But in the excited state [option 3], one of the 8 electrons in the third shell gains energy and move to the fourth shell. Thus, the number of electrons in the third shell reduced by 1, while the number of electrons in the fourth shell increase by 1.
