A solution of acetic acid is prepared in water by adding 11.1 g of sodium acetate to a volumetric flask and brining in the volum

e to 1.0 L with water. The final pH is then adjusted and measured to be 5.25. What are the concentrations of acetate and acetic acid in solution? (given pKa of acetic acid is 4.75)

Answer:

The concentration of

the Acetic Acid is 0.0325M

the Sodium Acetate is 0.1028M

Explanation:

Given

The dissociation of acetic acid is

CH3COOH + CH3COO- + H+ + HA -> A- + H+

We calculate the molarity of sodium acetate by using

Molarity = Moles/Volume

The formula weight of sodium acetate is 82.03 g/mol.

Moles = 11.1g/82.03g/mol

= 0.1353M

Since the volume is 1L, the molarity of sodium acetate will still be 0.1353M

The starting concentration of sodium acetate is 0.1353M

The final concentration of sodium acetate is the starting amount of sodium acetate, minus the amount that was protonated.

Assume that, x = concentration of acetic acid, which is the amount of sodium acetate that was protonated.

From the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

PH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

[A-] = 0.1353 - x

[HA] = x

pKa = 4.75

PH = 5.25

Substitute in these values

5.25 = 4.75 + log(0.1353-x)/x

log(0.1353 - x)/x = 5.25 - 4.75

log(0.1353-x)/x = 0.5

log(0.1353 - x)/x = ½

(0.1353-x)/x = 10^½

(0.1353 - x)/x = 3.1623

0.1353 - x = 3.1623x

0.1353 = x + 3.1623x

0.1353 = 4.1623x

x = 0.1353/4.1623

x = 0.0325M

Therefore [HA] = x = 0.0325M

[A-] = 0.1353 - x = 0.1353 - 0.0325 =

[A-] = 0.1028M

Why does a pea plant with the genotype Rr produce some gametes that have the allele for round seeds?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - due to the law of segregation.

Explanation:

In the given case the genotype of Rr and as we know R is a dominant characteristic for round seeds and r represents the recessive allele for wrinkled seeds in a pea plant. So if a plant has Rr in its genotype it means it is a phenotypically round pea plant due to dominance in this heterozygous case.

The law of segregation states that two alleles of a gene of a specific trait will be distributed randomly and there is an equal chance of each allele to end up in the gametes, similarly in this case both alleles can be segregated to gametes and it is a random process.

The outer ear consists of the _____.
Svet_ta [14]
The outer ear consists of two things and they are the auricle and the ear canal , which is also called the auditory canal.

The auditory canal  goes from the outer ear to the middle ear.

The auricle is what we see of the ear...the physical part of the ear. It can be called the pinna as well.


I hoped that this helped and good luck.

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!
Sidana [21]

If from the low tide to the high tide there was a break of 6h and 4m than the next tides will happen at the same rate:

8:35 + 6:04 = 14:39 = next low tide.
14:39 + 6:04 = 20:43 = next high tide.

Note that two same tides occur about 12h to 12h and 25m apart, and that is the case here:

14:39 - 2:31 = 12:08 hours apart
20:42 - 8:35 = 12:07 hours apart.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Q6.7. During many epidemics, health-care professionals emphasize the importance of
Serga [27]

During many epidemics, <u>healthcare </u>professionals emphasize the importance of  community mitigation strategies, such as wearing masks, frequent hand-washing, and social  distancing because these strategies help <u>reduce </u><u>transmission </u><u>even when drug-based treatments and vaccines are  unavailable.</u>

It is of <u>vital </u>importance in cases of epidemics to implement strategies such as:

  • Hand-washing
  • Wearing masks
  • Social distancing

in order to better protect our communities and ourselves.

Frequent hand-washing serves to<u> eliminate the presence of a </u><u>pathogen</u> <u>from the surface of your hands</u>, reducing the risks that it will find entry into your organism or land on a surface with which others will come into contact. Should you or someone else contract the pathogen anyways, wearing a mask can help to reduce or deny the possibility of transmitting the disease.

Finally, should both previous measures fail, meaning that the virus or pathogen has infected an individual and penetrated the masks, social distancing can act as a <u>final barrier</u> that the pathogen will rarely be able to surpass, given that most pathogens <u>cannot remain airborne over large distances. </u>

For these reasons, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of these strategies because they help reduce transmission <u>until vaccines or drug-based treatments become  available and </u><u>herd immunity </u><u>can be reached. </u>
