Answer:
Use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid
Explanation:
John could prepare a lactate buffer.
He can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the acid/base ratio for the buffer.
![\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\3.5 = 3.86 + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 3.5 - 3.86 = -0.36\\\\\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 10^{-0.36} = \mathbf{0.44}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BpH%7D%20%3D%20%5Ctext%7BpK%7D_%7B%5Ctext%7Ba%7D%7D%20%2B%20%5Clog%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BA%24%5E%7B-%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C3.5%20%3D%203.86%20%2B%20%5Clog%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BA%24%5E%7B-%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Clog%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BA%24%5E%7B-%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%7D%20%3D%203.5%20-%203.86%20%3D%20-0.36%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BA%24%5E%7B-%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%7D%20%3D%2010%5E%7B-0.36%7D%20%3D%20%5Cmathbf%7B0.44%7D)
He should use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid.
For example, he could mix equal volumes of 0.044 mol·L⁻¹ lactate and 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ lactic acid.
Question 4: The first one
Question 5: The fourth one
Question 6: The first one
Question 7: The third one
Answer:
D) He did not multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4.
Explanation:
The coefficient 4 at the beginning of the chemical formula indicates that there are four Ca(ClO3)2 molecules. Think of this as Ca(ClO3)2 × 4. This means that he had to multiply the number of atoms for each element by 4 as well, so he should've ended up with 4 total calcium atoms (which is correct), 8 total chlorine atoms, and and 24 total oxygen atoms. He did not get all these answers because he didn't multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4.
There is a very simple relationship between the three. First off, power is the amount of energy used over a certain amount of time. Energy is the capacity of carrying out that power. Lastly, time depends on how much energy you have to exert the work.
Hope this helps :)
