What should happen if a cell is placed in an environment too acidic or basic?

Minchanka [31]3 years ago

Cell death

Explanation:

If a cell is placed in an environment too acidic or basic, the cell will eventually die. A too acidic or basic environment leads to cell shrinkage and eventual death of the cell.

  • The pH of cells are buffered and they occur within a specific range.
  • Cells are typically designed to resist changes in pH conditions.
  • When a cell is placed in an acidic environment, there is movement of materials outwards from the cells.
  • This can eventually kill off the cell as the the life sustaining materials therein cannot function properly well again

SrCl2 (aq) + K2CO3 (aq) —>
Wewaii [24]

Answer: SrCl_2(aq)+K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+SrCO_3(s)

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

A double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is:

SrCl_2(aq)+K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+SrCO_3(s)

Write the chemical formula for sodium hypobromite.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

             NaOBr  (or)  Na⁺ ⁻OBr

Explanation:

The Oxo-Acids of Bromine are as follow,

                           Hypobromous Acid  =  HOBr

                           Bromous Acid  =  HOBrO

                           Bromic Acid  =  HBrO₃

                           Perbromic Acid  =  HBrO₄

When these acids are converted to their conjugate bases their names are as follow,

                           Hypobromite  =  ⁻OBr

                           Bromite  =  ⁻OBrO

                           Bromate  =  ⁻OBrO₂

                           Perbromate  =  ⁻OBrO₃

According to rules, the positive part of ionic compound is named first and the negative part is named second. So, Sodium Hypobromite has a chemical formula of Na⁺ ⁻OBr or NaOBr.

A 5.5 × 10–3 M solution of fluoroacetic acid, CH2FCOOH, has a pH of 2.57. What is the acid-dissociation constant, K a, of this a
lianna [129]

The acid dissociation constant is 1.3 × 10^-3.

<h3>What is acid-dissociation constant?</h3>

The acid-dissociation constant is a constant that shows the extent of dissociation of an acid in solution. We have to set up the reaction equation as shown below;

Let the acid be HA;

                  HA       +      H2O ⇄      H3O^+      +      A^-

since the pH of the solution is 2.57 then;

[H3O^+] = Antilog(-pH) = Antilog(-2.57) = 2.7 × 10^-3

We can see that; [H3O^+]  = [A^-] so;

Ka = (2.7 × 10^-3)^2/(5.5 × 10^–3)

Ka = 1.3 × 10^-3
