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

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the _________ group
Alina [70]

Answer: Option B) phosphate; hydroxyl; 3'

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the hydroxyl group attached to the 3'

carbon atom

Explanation:

For both RNA and DNA, chemical groups such as phosphate (PO3-) attaches to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA).

While hydroxyl group (OH) attaches to the 3' carbon atom of the pentose sugar.

Thus, a nucleic acid structure structure reveals a several repeating units of nucleotides where nitrogenous base links to a pentose sugar, who in turns is linked to phosphate group

Complete the following statements about the reproductive system.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Reproductive cells are called: Gametes.

Female Reproductive cells: Egg.

Male reproductive cells: Sperm.

Explanation:

In sexual reproduction each sex has 2 reproductive cells, the egg and the sperm. Sperm fertilizes the egg and the egg will now grow into an embryo. As a whole those two cells are called gametes but depending on gender they have different names.
