The pH affects the activiy of enzymes.

Enzymes are a catalysts. They affect the speed of reaction.

Extreme pHs, very low or very high, regularly drives to a poor performance of the enzymes, even to total loss of activity.

pH 3.0 is a very acid pH and any enzyme will not show activity at that pH.

The optimum range of pH for Amylase is 6.7 to 7.0, that is why she found that the reaction was fastest at pH 6.7.

What is the [H ] of a solution of 0.001 M aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is H2SO4 ionizes in water according to the balanced chem
Ainat [17]

Answer:  0.002 M

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for ionization of H_2SO_4 in water is:

H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO_4^{2-}

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of H_2SO_4 ionizes to give =2 mole of H^+ ions

0.001 mole of H_2SO_4 ionizes to give = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.001=0.002 mole of H^+ ions

Thus H^+ of a solution of 0.001 M aqueous sulfuric acid is 0.002 M

A chemistry graduate student is given of a chlorous acid solution. Chlorous acid is a weak acid with . What mass of should the s
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

11.31g NaClO₂

Explanation:

<em> Is given 250mL of a 1.60M chlorous acid HClO2 solution. Ka is 1.110x10⁻². What mass of NaClO₂ should the student dissolve in the HClO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =1.45? </em>

It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 1.9547; [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (NaClO₂), [HA] the concentration of the weak acid</em>

You can change the concentration of the substance if you write the moles of the substances:

[Moles HClO₂] = 250mL = 0.25L×(1.60mol /L) = <em>0.40 moles HClO₂</em>

Replacing in H-H expression, as the pH you want is 1.45:

1.45 = 1.9547 + log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

-0.5047 = log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

<em>0.3128 = </em>[Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

0.1251 = Moles NaClO₂

As molar mass of NaClO₂ is 90.44g/mol, mass of 0.1251 moles of NaClO₂ is:

0.1251 moles NaClO₂ ₓ (90.44g / mol) =
