Answer:

C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8

Explanation:

In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below

we Know that

pKa= -log(Ka)

therefore

A) pKa of  HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)

=1.9208

B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644

C)  pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45

D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)=  9.3979

If we consider the  Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution

The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.

So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.

Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.

The difference between the outer covering of plants and animals is that plant cell has cellulose cell wall while animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell is the structural and functional unit of an organism which is capable of existing alone as it contains organelles that perform specific functions.

The plant cell is covered by a rigid cell wall which contains cellulose as its outer covering.

The animal cell contains not cellulose cell wall at its out covering but instead it is covered by a cell membrane.

Therefore, the difference between the outer covering of plants and animals is that plant cell has cellulose cell wall while animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane.

The density of titanium metal is 4.51 g/cm3 at 25 ∘C What mass of titanium displaces 68.6 mL of water at 25 ∘C∘C?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The mass of titanium displaces 68.6 mL of water is 309.4 g.

Explanation:

Given that:-

\rho=4.51\ g/cm^3

V=68.6\ mL

Also, 1 cm^3  = 1 mL

So, V=68.6\ cm^3

The expression for the calculation of density is shown below as:-

\rho=\frac{m}{V}

Using the above expression to calculate the mass as:-

m={\rho}\times V

Applying the values to calculate the mass as:-

m=4.51\ g/cm^3\times 68.6\ cm^3=309.4\ g

<u>The mass of titanium displaces 68.6 mL of water is 309.4 g.</u>
