A buffer contains significant amounts of ammonia and ammonium chloride.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a. HCl + NH₃ ⇄ NH₄Cl

b. KOH + NH₄⁺ ⇄ K⁺ + NH₃ + H₂O

Explanation:

A buffer system is made by a weak base (ammonia, NH₃) and its conjugate acid (ammonium ion NH₄⁺ coming from ammonium chloride NH₄Cl). Its function is to resist abrupt changes in the pH when acids or bases are added.

a. When aqueous hydrochloric acid is added, it reacts with the base of the buffer. The corresponding equation is:

HCl + NH₃ ⇄ NH₄Cl

b. When aqueous potassium hydroxide is added, it reacts with the acid of the buffer. The corresponding equation is:

KOH + NH₄⁺ ⇄ K⁺ + NH₃ + H₂O

Why is it difficult to pull nitrogen from the atmosphere into the nitrogen cycle of the biosphere?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Because only a few bacterias can "fix" the atmosphere nitrogen.

Explanation:

The nitrogen at the atmosphere is in the form of N₂ and represents 78% of the atmosphere composition. The element is part of the constitution of nucleic acids and proteins, so the living beings needed them.

However, the animals and the plants can't catch the N₂. Some bacterias that live in mutualism with plants have this ability, and they "fix" the atmosphere nitrogen, transforming the N₂ in the ions nitrite (NO₃⁻) or ammonia (NH₃), which can be caught by the plants.

Them, when the primary consumers eat the plants they catch the nitrogen, which will be passed through the food chain.

So, it's difficult to pull nitrogen from the atmosphere into the nitrogen cycle of the biosphere because only a few bacterias can do it.

Consider the solutions, 0.04 m urea [(NH_2)_2C=O)], 0.04 m AgNO_3 and 0.04 m CaCl_2. Which has
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the colligatives properties are modified by the Van't Hoff factor. This is shown as i, in the formula of the colligative properties freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure.

The Van't Hoff factor shows the number of particles into which the solute dissociates. In organic compounds we use 1, in inorganic compounds we have to think the dissociation. For example in aquous solutions, inorganic salts as AgNO₃ and CaCl₂ dissociate like this:

AgNO₃ →  Ag⁺  + NO₃⁻

CaCl₂  → Ca²⁺  +  2Cl⁻

AgNO₃ has 2 moles of ions and CaCl₂ has 3 moles.

In urea: i = 1

In  silver nitrate: i = 2

In calcium chloride: i = 3

The i = 3 for  calcium chloride, makes that this salt has the highest osmotic pressure, highest vapor pressure and highest boiling point.

What does it mean to transcribe DNA to RNA
aksik [14]

Answer:

EIt involves copying a gene's DNA sequence to make an RNA molecule. Transcription is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases, which link nucleotides to form an RNA strand (using a DNA strand as a template). ... Transcription is controlled separately for each gene in your genome.xplanation:
