1. john needs to create a buffered solution at a ph of 3.5 for his biomedical laboratory

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid  

Explanation:

John could prepare a lactate buffer.

He can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the acid/base ratio for the buffer.

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\3.5 = 3.86 + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 3.5 - 3.86 = -0.36\\\\\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 10^{-0.36} = \mathbf{0.44}

He should use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid.

For example, he could mix equal volumes of 0.044 mol·L⁻¹ lactate and 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ lactic acid.

If you want to use a serial dilution to make a 1/50 dilution. The first dilution you make is a 1/5 dilution with a total volume
fomenos

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

A serial dilution is a dilution that is made fractionated. The stock solution is diluted, then this now solution is diluted, and then successively. The final dilution is the multiplication of the steps dilutions.

The representation of the dilution is v/v (volume per volume) indicates how much of the stock solution is in the total volume of the solution. So 1/5 indicates 1 mL to 5 mL of the solution. If the final volume must be 1 mL, then the stock solution must be 0.2 mL (0.2/1 = 1/5), and the volume of the solvent is 1 mL - 0.2 = 0.8 mL.

The second solution is done with a dilution of 1/10 or 1 mL of the first solution in 10 mL of the total solution. Because the solution has 1 mL, then the volume of the first solution must be 0.1 mL (0.1/1 = 1/10), and the volume of the solvent that must be added is 1 mL - 0.1 mL = 0.9 mL.

If a molecule can hydrogen bond, does it guarantee that it will have a higher boiling point than a molecule that cannot? Explain
saul85 [17]

Answer:

a): not necessarily due to London Dispersion Forces and dipole-dipole interactions.  

b): not necessarily due to London Dispersion Forces.

Explanation:

There are three major types of intermolecular interaction:

  • Hydrogen bonding between molecules with H-O, H-N, or H-F bonds and molecules with lone pairs.
  • Dipole-dipole interactions between all molecules.
  • London dispersion forces between all molecules.

The melting point of a substance is a result of all three forces, combined.

Note that the more electrons in each molecule, the stronger the London Dispersion Force. Generally, that means the more atoms in each molecule, the stronger the London dispersion force. The strength of London dispersion force between large molecules can be surprisingly strong.

For example, \rm H_2O (water) molecules are capable of hydrogen bonding. The melting point of \rm H_2O at \rm 1\; atm is around 0 \; ^{\circ}\rm C. That's considerably high when compared to other three-atom molecules.

In comparison, the higher alkane hexadecane (\rm C_{16}H_{34}, straight-chain) isn't capable of hydrogen bonding. However, under a similar pressure, hexadecane melts at around 18\; ^{\circ}\rm C above the melting point of water. The reason is that with such a large number of atoms (and hence electrons) per molecule, the London dispersion force between hexadecane molecules could well be stronger than that the hydrogen bonding between water molecules.

Similarly, the dipole moments in HCl (due to the highly-polar H-Cl bonds) are much stronger than those in hexadecane (due to the C-H bonds.) However, the boiling point of hexadecane under standard conditions is much higher (at around 287\; \rm ^\circ C than that of HCl.

What is the mass of silver that can be prepared from 1.50 g of copper metal?
noname [10]
Molar mass:

Ag = 107.86 g/mol
Cu = 63.54 g/mol

Mole ratio:

Cu(s)+2 AgNO₃(aq)→Cu(NO₃)₂(aq)+2 Ag(s)

63.54 g Cu ------------- 2 x 107.86 g Ag
1.50 g Cu -------------- ??

Mass Ag = 1.50 x 2 x 107.86 / 63.54

Mass Ag = 32358 / 63.54

= 509.25 g of Ag

hope this helps!

What kind of intermolecular forces act between a hydrogen cyanide molecule and a potassium cation?
andriy [413]

Answer:

ion-dipole

Explanation:

Let us remember that the potassium cation is an ion, a positive ion to be precise.

There is a dipole existing in the hydrogen cyanide molecule. The positive end of the dipole is on hydrogen while the negative end of the dipole is on the cyanide moiety.

The only possible interaction between the potassium cation and the hydrogen cyanide is an ion dipole interaction. The cation interacts with the cyanide moiety having a partial negative charge in the molecule.
