Answer:
C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8
Explanation:
In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below
we Know that
pKa= -log(Ka)
therefore
A) pKa of HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)
=1.9208
B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644
C) pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45
D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)= 9.3979
If we consider the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution
The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.
So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.
Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.
Answer:
CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺
Explanation:
A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.
For the acetic acid buffer, CH₃CO₂H is the weak acid and its conjugate base is the ion without H⁺, that is CH₃CO₂⁻. The equilibrium equation in water knowing this is:
<h3>CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺</h3>
<em>In the equilibrium, the acid is dissociated in the conjugate base and the hydronium ion.</em>
Answer:
<u>ATGGCCTA</u>
Explanation:
For this we have to keep in mind that we have a <u>specific relationship between the nitrogen bases</u>:
-) <u>When we have a T (thymine) we will have a bond with A (adenine) and viceversa</u>.
-) <u>When we have C (Cytosine) we will have a bond with G (Guanine) and viceversa</u>.
Therefore if we have: TACCGGAT. We have to put the corresponding nitrogen base, so:
TACCGGAT
<u>ATGGCCTA</u>
<u></u>
I hope it helps!
