Suppose that you have 125 mL of a buffer that is 0.140 M in both hydrofluoric acid ( HF ) and its conjugate base ( F − ) . Calcu

late the maximum volume of 0.370 M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost.

Answer:

38,7mL of HCl 0,370M

Explanation:

The buffering capacity is lost when the pH of the solution is out of pka ± 1.

For the buffer:

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻; pka = 3,20

Moles of both HF and F⁻ are:

HF: 0,140M ₓ 0,125L = 0,0175 moles of HF

Moles of F⁻ are the same.

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ F⁻ / HF

pH = 3,20 + log F⁻ / HF <em>(1)</em>

The addition of X moles of HCl (H⁺) shift the equilibrium to the left, thus:

         HF             ⇄   H⁺  +     F⁻

0,0175 moles + X             0,0175 moles - X          

The buffer lost its capacity when pH = 3,20 - 1 = 2,20. Thus, replacing in (1):

2,20 = 3,20 + log ₁₀0,0175 - X / 0,0175 + X

0,1 = 0,0175 - X / 0,0175 + X

0,00175 + 0,1X = 0,0175 - X

-0,01575 = -1,1X

<em>0,0143 moles = X</em>

You need to add 0,0143 moles of HCl. In volume for a concentration of 0,370M HCl:

0,0143 moles ÷ 0,370M = 0,0387L of HCl 0,370M ≡ <em>38,7mL of HCl 0,370M</em>

I hope it helps!

Indicate the peptides that would result from cleavage by the indicated reagent: a. Gly-Lys-Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg-Ala-Phe by trypsin b.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a. Gly-Lys + Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg + Ala-Phe

b. Glu-Ala-Phe + Gly-Ala-Tyr

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember which peptidic bonds can break each protease:

-) <u>Trypsin</u>

It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of lysine or arginine.

-) <u>Chymotrypsin</u>

It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine.

With this in mind in "peptide a", the peptidic bonds that would be broken are the ones in the <u>"Lis"</u> and <u>"Arg"</u> (See figure 1).

In "peptide b", the peptidic bond that would be broken is the one in the <u>"Phe"</u> (See figure 2). The second amino acid that can be broken is <u>tyrosine</u>, but this amino acid is placed in the <u>C terminal spot</u>, therefore will not be involved in the <u>hydrolysis</u>.

Decreasing the saturation of the fatty acid chains on a particular type of phospholipid would result in the formation of _____.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is "more fluid bilayers".

Explanation:

A fatty acid is a biomolecule of lipidic nature formed by a long hydrocarbon chain of different lengths at the end of which there is a carboxyl group.

The wall of the gallbladder consists of three main layers of tissue: The mucosa covers the wall of the gallbladder. The muscular layer of smooth muscle. The serosa, which is the outer layer.

By decreasing the saturation of the fatty acid chains in phospholipids, the bile layers would reduce their thickness and become more fluid.

Have a nice day!

Read the following chemical equation: Ti + 2Cl2 → TiCl4 Which statement best identifies and describes the reducing agent in the
goldenfox [79]

Answer: Ti is the reducing agent because it changes from 0 to +4 oxidation state.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to identify the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.
  • The reducing agent: is the agent that has been oxidized via losing electrons.
  • The oxidizing agent: is the agent that has been reduced via gaining electrons.
  • Here, Ti losses 4 electrons and its oxidation state is changed from 0 to +4 and Cl₂  gains one electron  and its oxidation state is changed from 0 to -1.
  • So, Ti is the reducing agent because its oxidation state changes from  0 to +4.
  • Cl₂ is the oxidizing agent because its oxidation state changes from 0 to -1.
  • Thus, The right answer is Ti is the reducing agent because it changes from 0 to +4 oxidation state.
