There are two kinds of buffer

a) acidic buffer

b) basic buffer

They both resist change in pH on addition of small amount of strong acid or base

as asked in question we will consider addition strong acid that is [H+]

a) acidic buffer: it is a mixture of weak acid and its salt with strong base

say CH3COOH  + CH3COO-Na+

When we add H+, the H+ are being consumed by acetate ions to give acetic acid

CH3COO-  + H+  ---> CH3COOH

So it accepts H+

b)basic buffer

Example: NH4OH  + NH4Cl

when we add H+ , the OH- will react with it to form water

So it accepts H+

What is the Ka of a 0.0796 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a pH of 2.95?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Coefficient = 1.58

Exponent = - 5

Explanation:

pH = 2.95

Molar concentration = 0.0796M

Ka = [H+]^2 / [HA]

Ka = [H+]^2 / 0.0796

Therefore ;

[H+] = 10^-2.95

[H+] = 0.0011220 = 1.122 × 10^-3

Ka = [H+] / molar concentration

Ka = [1.122 × 10^-3]^2 / 0.0796

Ka = (1.258884 × 10^-6) / 0.0796

Ka = 15.815 × 10^-6

Ka = 1.58 × 10^-5

Coefficient = 1.58

Exponent = - 5

In a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases, the mole fraction of nitrogen is 0.333. If the partial pressure of hydrogen in the
notka56 [123]

Answer:

P_T=112.4torr

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these problems about gas mixtures are based off Dalton's law in terms of mole fraction, partial pressure and total pressure, we can write the following for hydrogen, we are given its partial pressure:

P_{H_2}=x_{H_2}*P_T

And can be solved for the total pressure as follows:

P_T=\frac{P_{H_2}}{x_{H_2}}

However, we first calculate the mole fraction of hydrogen by subtracting that of nitrogen to 1 due to:

x_{H_2}+x_{N_2}=1\\\\x_{H_2}=1-0.333=0.667

Then, we can plug in to obtain the total pressure:

P_T=\frac{75.0torr}{0.667}\\\\P_T=112.4torr

Regards!

If 14c-labeled uracil is added to the growth medium of cells, what macromolecules will be labeled?
ziro4ka [17]
When there are 14c-lable uracil that are added to the growth medium of cells, the macromolecules that will be labled are RNA. Uracil is a nucleobase that make up the DNA or the RNA. In RNA, uracil binds with other nucleobase (adenine) through hydrogen bonds.
