The correct option is B.

A buffer refers to an aqueous solution which resist changes in pH when acids or bases are added to it. Also addition or removal of water from a buffer system does not change the pH of the system significantly. Buffers typically are made up of pairs of weak acid and their conjugate base or pairs of weak base and their conjugate acids. Maintaining the ideal pH is very important in living organisms, blood buffers help living organisms to maintain constant blood pH.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Buffer systems present in blood help in maintaining the neutral pH of blood. The most important buffer system is the Carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer. Hope this answers the question.

A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt MSO, Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3.0
bija089 [108]

Answer:

E = 0.062 V

Explanation:

(a) See the attached file for the answer

(b)

Calculating the voltage (E) using the formula;

E = - (2.303RT/nf)log Cathode/Anode

Where,

R = 8.314 J/K/mol

T = 35°C = 308 K

F- Faraday's constant = 96500 C/mol,

n = number of moles of electron = 2

Substituting, we have

E = -(2.303 * 8.314 *308/2*96500) *log (0.03/3)

   = -0.031 * -2

  = 0.062V

Therefore, the voltmeter will show a voltage of 0.062 V

In the laboratory you are asked to make a 0.175 m barium iodide solution using 13.9 grams of barium iodide. How much water shoul
BARSIC [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of water that should be added in 203.07 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molality}=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

Where,

m = molality of barium iodide solution = 0.175 m

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (barium iodide) = 13.9 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (barium iodide) = 391.14 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (water) = ? g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.175=\frac{13.9\times 1000}{391.14\times W_{solvent}}\\\\W_{solvent}=\frac{13.9\times 1000}{391.14\times 0.175}=203.07g

Hence, the mass of water that should be added in 203.07 grams
