The definition of a herd is a big group of animals or people who share the same characteristics. An example of a herd is a group of cattle, sheep or elephants who all live and travel together.
Answer:The ratio of the concentrations of 
and 
when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69
Explanation:
The dissociation constant for formic acid = 
Concentration of HA= 0.5 mM
Concentration of = 0.1 mM
pH = 6.16
First we have to calculate the value of 
.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[A^-}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
![6.16=pK_a+\log (\frac{[0.1]}{0.5})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6.16%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%28%5Cfrac%7B%5B0.1%5D%7D%7B0.5%7D%29)
To calculate the ratio of the concentrations of and when the buffer has a pH of 7.02.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![7.02=6.86+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7.02%3D6.86%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
![\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1.44](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%3D1.44)
![\frac{[HA]}{[A^-]}=0.69](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%7D%3D0.69)
Thus the ratio of the concentrations of and when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69
Ans.
Steroids are defined as active organic bio-molecules, having four rings with a specific molecular configuration. Steroids play role in two major functions: as hormones or signaling molecules and as structural components of plasma membrane.
Examples of steroid hormones are estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. Thus, the correct answer is 'option b). they serve as chemical messengers.'
