Answer:
Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).
A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).
<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 5.25
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let the volume of buffer solution be V
We know that:
To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjugate base}]}{[acid]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5B%5Ctext%7Bconjugate%20base%7D%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%29)
We are given:
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.90
![[\text{conjugate base}]=\frac{2.25}{V}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7Bconjugate%20base%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B2.25%7D%7BV%7D)
![[acid]=\frac{1.00}{V}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bacid%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1.00%7D%7BV%7D)
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the pH of the buffer is 5.25
This is called drawing conclusions as once they are done w research, they can comprehend the subject in order to predict what may happen under the circumstances.
<h3>
Answer: D) all of the above</h3>
Explanation:
The lungs pump oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, which goes through the blood stream to help with the cell's energy needs.
Nutrients pass through the blood stream as well. The nutrients start with the digestive system (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine) before going into the blood stream. The nutrients are building blocks to help make new cells when old ones die off.
When those cells die off, the body sheds them like dead skin, but internal dead cells are passed off as waste. This waste and other byproducts the body doesn't need passes through the blood stream as well.
In short, the blood stream is basically the highway to help get desired materials (eg: oxygen and nutrients) and get rid of waste (eg: carbon dioxide and other unwanted byproducts or dead cell material)
So that's why the answer includes A, B and C.
