Answer:

Lithium has 4 neutrons

Explanation:

The number shown above the lithium symbol (Li) is the mass number.

The mass number (A) represents the protons and neutrons an atom has.

The atomic number(Z) in the other hand represents the protons only.

So, the difference between this two numbers is the amount of neutrons.

n_{neutrons}=A-Z=7-3=4

The pKa of lactic acid is 3.9. A lactate buffer will be useful from pH values ________. The pKa of lactic acid is 3.9. A lactate
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The usefulness of a buffer is its ability to resist changes in pH when small quantities of base or acid are added to it. This ability is the consequence of having both the conjugate base and the weak acid present in solution which will consume the added base or acid.  

This capacity is lost if the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of weak acid differ by an order of magnitude. Since  buffers having ratios differing by more will have their pH driven by either the weak acid or its conjugate base .

From the Henderson-Hasselbach equation we have that

pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]

thus

0.1 ≤  [A⁻]/[HA] ≤ 10

Therefore the log of this range is -1 to 1, and the pH will have a useful range of within +/- 1 the pKa of the buffer.

Now we are equipped to answer our question:

pH range = 3.9 +/- 1 = 2.9 through 4.9

Which of these characteristics best describes a basic solution?
mario62 [17]
I believe the correct answer would be that it feels slippery. Being slippery or soapy is one characteristic of a base. This due to the fact that it dissolves the oils and fatty acids from the skin.  Other characteristics would be that it turns litmus paper blue and has a bitter taste.
