A certain drug has a half-life in the body of 4.0h. What should the interval between doses be, if the concentration of drug in t

he body should not fall below 15.% of its initial concentration? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

half life = 4 h

initial concentration = 100

final concentration = 15

Time = t

No of half life  x = t / 4

15 = 100 x ( 1/2 )ˣ

.15 =  ( 1/2 )ˣ

ln .15 = - x ln2

x = - ln .15 / ln 2

= 1.897 / .693

x = 2.737

x = t / 4

t = 2.737 x 4 = 11 h approx .

Which buffer would be better able to hold a steady pH on the addition of strong acid, buffer 1 or buffer 2? Explain. Buffer 1: a
Talja [164]

Answer:

Buffer 1.

Explanation:

Ammonia is a weak base. It acts like a Bronsted-Lowry Base when it reacts with hydrogen ions.

\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq).

\rm NH_3 gains one hydrogen ion to produce the ammonium ion \rm {NH_4}^{+}. In other words, \rm {NH_4}^{+} is the conjugate acid of the weak base \rm NH_3.

Both buffer 1 and 2 include

  • the weak base ammonia \rm NH_3, and
  • the conjugate acid of the weak base \rm {NH_4}^{+}.

The ammonia \rm NH_3 in the solution will react with hydrogen ions as they are added to the solution:

\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq).

There are more \rm NH_3 in the buffer 1 than in buffer 2. It will take more strong acid to react with the majority of \rm NH_3 in the solution. Conversely, the pH of buffer 1 will be more steady than that in buffer 2 when the same amount of acid has been added.
