I would say carbon monoxide
Firstly because the image shows two different atoms bonded so it cannot be nitrogen or krypton
Secondly sulphur dioxide has 3 atoms bonded (two oxygens and a sulphur atom) so it can’t be that
Finally it can’t be hydrogen chloride because chloride is significantly larger than hydrogen
Thus it must be carbon monoxide as carbon and oxygen are bonded (CO) and are both relatively similar in size

Write the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a solution of formic acid. Calculate the quotient [HCO2]/[HCO2H] at (a) pH 3.000; (

Elena L [17]

Answer:

a. 0.182

b. 1.009

c. 1.819

Explanation:

Henderson-Hasselbach equation is:

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

Let's replace the formula by the given values.

a. 3 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

3 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

-0.74 = log [salt / acid]

10⁻⁰'⁷⁴ = 0.182

b. 3.744 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

3.744 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

0.004 = log [salt / acid]

10⁰'⁰⁰⁴ = 1.009

c. 4 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

4 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

0.26 = log [salt / acid]

10⁰'²⁶ = 1.819

You wish to construct a buffer of pH=7.0. Which of the following weak acids (w/ corresponding conjugate base) would you select?

Alex17521 [72]

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.

Complete the sentences about heme. Some terms will not be used. The prosthetic group of hemoglobin and myoglobin is . The organi

nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Haemoglobin consists of heme unit which is comprised of an $Fe^{2+}$ and porphyrin ring. The ring has four pyrrole molecules which are linked to the iron ion. In oxyhaemoglobin, the iron has coordinates with four nitrogen atoms and one to the F8 histidine residue and the sixth one to the oxygen. In deoxyhaemoglobin, the ion is displaced out of the ring by 0.4 Å.

The prosthetic group of hemoglobin and myoglobin is - Heme

The organic ring component of heme is - Porphyrin

Under normal conditions, the central atom of heme is - $Fe^{2+}$

In deoxyhemoglobin , the central iron atom is displaced 0.4 Å out of the plane of the porphyrin ring system.

The central atom has six bonds: four to nitrogen atoms in the porphyrin, one to a histidine residue, and one to oxygen.
