Experiments performed with biological systems require a buffer that will not interfere with the stability and activities of the

biological components. In 1966, Norman Good and his colleagues began a series of investigations that established criteria for new zwitterionic buffers that would be optimal for experimentation with biological systems. These criteria included_____________.
a. pKa between 6 and 8
b. highly water soluble
c. minimally permeable to biological membranes
d. minimal effects of salt concentration
e. minimal effect of temperature on pKa (? pKa/°C)

Answer:pKa between 6 and 8

b. highly water soluble

c. minimally permeable to biological membranes

d. minimal effects of salt concentration

Explanation:

Since most biological reactions occur at near neutral pH of 6-8, good buffers should have their pKa around this region. A good buffer must also be water soluble and not easily permeable to biological membranes to avoid to avoid accumulation of the buffer compound in cells. The buffer should also not be highly ionic to prevent issues due to salt effects.

Radium has a half-life of 1,620 years. In how many years will a 1 kg sample of radium decay and reduce to 0.125 kg of radium?
Tasya [4]
We can calculate years by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.

</span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

Calculate the theoretical yield of ammonia produced by the reaction of 100 g of H2 gas and 200g of N2 gas? 3H2(g) + N2(g)-----&g
Alex787 [66]
Moles of Hydrogen present: 100 / 2 = 50 moles

Moles of Nitrogen present: 200 / 28 = 7.14 moles

Hydrogen required by given amount of nitrogen = 7.14 x 3 = 21.42 moles

Hydrogen is excess so we will calculate the Ammonia produced using Nitrogen.

Molar ratio of Nitrogen : Ammonia = 1 : 2

Moles of ammonia = 7.14 x 2 = 14.28 moles

Do your cells have access to everything they need over the first 4 or 5 hours that you are lost? Yes or No?
77julia77 [94]

Explanation: cell in the body is enclosed by a cell (Plasma) membrane. The cell membrane separates the material outside the cell, extracellular, from the material inside the cell, intracellular. ... All materials within a cell must have access to the cell membrane (the cell's boundary) for the needed exchange
