Muscle physiologists study the accumulation of lactic acid [ch3ch(oh)cooh] during exercise. food chemists study its occurrence i

n sour milk, beer, wine, and fruit. industrial microbiologists study its formation by various bacterial species from carbohydrates. a biochemist prepares a lactic acid-lactate buffer by mixing 225 ml of 0.85 m lactic acid (ka = 1.38 × 10−4) with 435 ml of 0.68 m sodium lactate. what is the buffer ph?

The provided information are:
volume of 0.85 M lactic acid = 225 ml
volume of 0.68 M sodium lactate = 435 ml
Ka of the lactate buffer = 1.38 x 10⁻⁴
 The equation for dissociation of lactic acid is:
CH₃CH(OH)COOH(aq) + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CH(OH)COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)
The pH of buffer is calculated from Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which is:
pH = pKa + log \frac{[conjugated base]}{[Acid]}
pKa = - log Ka = - log (1.38 x 10⁻⁴) = 3.86 
The number of moles of lactic acid and lactate are as follows:
n (Lactic acid) = 225 ml x 0.85 mmol/ml = 191.25 mmol
n (Lactate) = 435 ml x 0.68 mmol/ml = 295.8 mmol
The number of moles of lactic acid and lactate in total volume of the solution:
[CH₃CH(OH)COOH] = n (lactic acid) / 660 ml = 191.25 mmol / 660 ml = 0.29 M
[CH₃CH(OH)COO⁻] = n (lactate) / 660 ml = 0.45 M
pH = 3.86 + log \frac{0.45 M}{0.29 M} = 3.86 + 0.191 = 4.05
So the pH of given solution is 4.05

The rate of geologic processes can happen quickly or take a long time.
erik [133]

Answer:

Take a long time

Explanation:

Geology is defined as a science mostly concerned with the study of the history of the earth as recorded in different rocks formations.

Geologic processes are events that occur on a geological timescale which may span across many centuries.

The four major geologic process are known to include; impact cratering, volcanism, tectonics, and erosion.

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and exp
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

ΔH > 0; ΔS >0; ΔG = 0

Not spontaneous when T < 100 °C;

         Equilibrium when T = 100 °C

      Spontaneous when T > 100 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The process is

H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H₂O(g)

ΔH > 0 (positive), because we must <em>add heat</em> to boil water

ΔS > 0 (positive), because changing from a liquid to a gas i<em>ncreases the disorder </em>

ΔG = 0, because the liquid-vapour equilibrium process is at <em>equilibrium</em> at 100 °C

ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

Both ΔH and ΔS are positive.

If T = 100 °C, ΔG =0. ΔH = TΔS, and the system is at equilibrium.


If T < 100 °C, the ΔH term will predominate, because T has decreased below the equilibrium value.

ΔG > 0. The process is not spontaneous below 100 °C.


If T > 100 °C, the TΔS term will predominate, because T has increased above the equilibrium value.

ΔG < 0. The process is spontaneous above 100 °C.

Naming chlorine as an Ion
Katarina [22]

The name of the ion is chloride.

To name a <em>monatomic anion</em>

• <em>Drop the ending</em> of the element name (chlor<u>ine</u> → chlor)

• <em>Add the ending</em> <em>ide</em> (chlor + ide → chloride)
