Assuming equal concentrations of conjugate base and acid, which one of the following mixtures is suitable for making a buffer so

lution with an optimum pH of 9.2−9.3? CH3COONa/CH3COOH (Ka = 1.8 x 10^−5) NH3/NH4Cl (Ka = 5.6 x 10^−10) NaOCl/HOCl (Ka = 3.2 x 10^−8) NaNO2/HNO2 (Ka = 4.5 x 10^−4) NaCl/HCl

Answer:

NH₃/NH₄Cl

Explanation:

We can calculate the pH of a buffer using the Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.

pH=pKa+log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}

If the concentration of the acid is equal to that of the base, the pH will be equal to the pKa of the buffer. The optimum range of work of pH is pKa ± 1.

Let's consider the following buffers and their pKa.

  • CH₃COONa/CH3COOH (pKa = 4.74)
  • NH₃/NH₄Cl (pKa = 9.25)
  • NaOCl/HOCl (pKa = 7.49)
  • NaNO₂/HNO₂ (pKa = 3.35)
  • NaCl/HCl Not a buffer

The optimum buffer is NH₃/NH₄Cl.

Two metals (Metal A and Metal B) are both exposed to a laser which emits photons that have a greater energy than the work functi
Tresset [83]

Answer:

shorter than

equal to

Explanation:

Let us go back to the Einstein photoelectric equation;

KE = E - Wo

Where

KE = kinetic energy of the photoelectron

E = energy of the incident photon

Wo = work function of the metal

But KE = 1/2mv^2

Thus the velocity of the emitted photoelectron  is determined by the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron.

Since the work function of metal A is smaller than that of metal B, the kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from metal A is greater than that of photoelectrons emitted from metal B . Therefore, the velocity of electrons from metal A is greater than those from metal B.

From de Broglie relation;

λ = h/mv

Where;

λ = de Broglie wavelength

h = Plank's constant

m = mass

v = velocity

Metal A producing electrons with greater velocity will lead to a shorter de Broglie wavelength compared to those from metal B.

The number of photoelectrons ejected is determined by the intensity of the photons and not the energy of the incident photons or the work function of the metals. Since the two metals are exposed to the the same laser, equal number of photoelectrons are produced for metals A and B.

An organism contains chloroplasts in its cells which allows it to make its own food. What Kingdom is it in?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Plantae. Plants are multicellular and most don't move, although gametes of some plants move using cilia or flagella. Organelles including nucleus, chloroplasts are present, and cell walls are present. Nutrients are acquired by photosynthesis (they all require sunlight).

Table salt contains 39.33 g of sodium per 100 g of salt. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that adults cons
IrinaVladis [17]
 <span>First set up the equation 39.33g/100g = x/1.28g and that'll give you how much sodium is in each 100g of the mix. 

39.33g *1.28g= 100g * x 
x = 0.503424g 
x = Amount of sodium per 100g of the mix 

Now 2.4g / 0.503424 = 4.7674 
Multiply by 100 and you get 476.7353g</span>

What type of isotope undergoes radioactive decay?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

All elements with 84 or more protons are unstable; they eventually undergo decay. Other isotopes with fewer protons in their nucleus are also radioactive.
