A certain buffer is made by mixing a weak acid HA and its conjugate base A–. When HA is present at a concentration of 0.5 mM and

A– is present at a concentration of 0.1 mM, the buffer has a pH of 6.16. Calculate the ratio of the concentrations of HA and A– when the buffer has a pH of 7.02.

Answer:The ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69

Explanation:

The dissociation constant for formic acid = K_a=1.8\times 10^{-4}

Concentration of HA= 0.5 mM

Concentration of A^-= 0.1 mM

pH = 6.16

First we have to calculate the value of K_a.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[A^-}{[HA]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

6.16=pK_a+\log (\frac{[0.1]}{0.5})

pK_a=6.86

To calculate the ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

7.02=6.86+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

7.02=6.86+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1.44

\frac{[HA]}{[A^-]}=0.69

Thus the ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69

The height of wind formed waves depends on what three things?
Ganezh [65]
The height wind waves or waves generated by the wind are surface waves that occur on the surface of oceans, lakes, rivers, seas and canals etc. Waves can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. They range in size from small ripples to over 100 foot high. They are dependent on the following three things:
1. Wind speed - the height of waves is dependent on the speed of the wind. The faster the wind, the higher the waves and vice versa. 2. Wind direction - the height of waves is dependent on  whether the wind is blowing offshore or onshore. Offshore winds blow from the land onto the sea so tend to cause bigger waves3. Storm winds in a cyclone or hurricane. These winds travel in circles around the eye of the storm and are usually very high in intensity. Depending on the intensity of the wind and the speed at which the wind is travelling, the wave height will differ.

Cnidarians and Ctenophores are alike in the following way: a) they are scavengers and parasites. b) they are both diploblastic.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Options B.

They are both diploblastic.

Explanation:

Cnidarians are group of aquatic animals that live both in fresh water and Marine water. They are distinguished by the possession of specialized cells called cnidocytes for capturing prey. They are radially symmetrical and have two body layers ectoderm and endoderm separated by jelly layer called mesoglea.

Examples are Hydra, corals, sea anemone and jelly fish.

Ctenophores are phylum of Marine animals that are found in every where. They are characterized by vast of cilia which is use for swimming. They are bilaterally symmetrical , they have mouth and don't have anus. They don't have respiratory, excretory and circulatory system. They are diploblastic i.e they have two body layers but some are triploblastic.

They have nemacyctes for capturing prey.

Examples are nuda, tentaculata e.t.c.

Controlled nuclear chain reactions ____.
inna [77]
<span>Answer: a. take place in nuclear reactors

</span><span>Controlled nuclear chain reactions are the reaction in nuclear reactors. The reaction is controlled to make its rate slower. This will make the reaction relatively safer, so the energy produced can be changed into electricity in power plant. When the reaction is not controlled, it could cause explosive like in nuclear bomb.</span>
