Excess hydrogen in the body through carbonic acid is known to affect blood. In the blood we have hemoglobin which is a red blood cell protein that allows red blood cells to carry oxygen but when hydrogen is introduced in the blood, of causes some of the hemoglobin to release oxygen, causing oxygen deprivation in major organs. Even 1 minute of oxygen deprivation can cause severe damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, heart, stomach, and every other major organ.

The ka values for several weak acids are given below. which acid (and its conjugate base) would be the best buffer at ph = 8.0?
Pie
One of the best buffer choice for pH = 8.0 is Tris with Ka value of  6.3 x 10^-9.

To support this answer, we first calculate for the pKa value as the negative logarithm of the Ka value: 
     pKa = -log Ka

For Tris, which is an abbreviation for 2-Amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3 -diol and has a Ka value of 6.3 x 10^-9, the pKa is
     pKa = -log Ka
            = -log (6.3x10^-9)
            = 8.2

We know that buffers work best when pH is equal to pKa:
     pKa = 8.2 = pH 

Therefore Tris would be a best buffer at pH = 8.0.

Why are fossils<br> important in the<br> development of the<br> geologic time scale?
olga55 [171]
Fossils are fundamental to the geologic time scale. The names of most of the eons and eras end in zoic, because these time intervals are often recognized on the basis of animal life. Rocks formed during the Proterozoic Eon may have fossils of relative simple organisms, such as bacteria, algae, and wormlike animals

A 32.5 g iron rod, initially at 22.4 ∘C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.0 ∘C, in an insulated container. The f
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

m_{H_2O}=39.0g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, is possible to infer that the thermal equilibrium is governed by the following relationship:

\Delta H_{iron}=-\Delta H_{H_2O}\\m_{iron}Cp_{iron}(T_{eq}-T_{iron})=-m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O})

Thus, both iron's and water's heat capacities are: 0.444 and 4.18 J/g°C respectively, so one solves for the mass of water as shown below:

m_{H_2O}=\frac{m_{iron}Cp_{iron}(T_{eq}-T_{iron})}{-Cp_{H_2O}(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O}} \\\\m_{H_2O}=\frac{32.5g*0.444\frac{J}{g^0C}*(59.7-22.4)^0C}{-4.18\frac{J}{g^0C}*(59.7-63.0)^0C} \\\\m_{H_2O}=39.0g

Best regards.

P4O10 -&gt; 4P+5O2 How many moles of phosphorus would be produced if 5.3 mol of P4O10 reacted?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

21.2 moles.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the given chemical reaction, we can see there is a 1:4 mole ratio between tetraphosphorous decaoxide and phosphorous; therefore, the following proportional factor provides the requested moles of phodphorous:

n_P=5.3molP_4O_{10} *\frac{4molP}{1molP_4O_{10}} \\\\n_P=21.2molP

Best regards!
