Answer:
C) hydrogen bonding
Explanation:
All atoms and molecules have London Dispersion Forces between them, but they are usually overshadowed but the much stronger forces. In this scenario the major attractive force in HF molecules are hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are electrostatic forces of attraction found when Hydrogen is bonded to a more electronegative atom such as Oxygen, Chlorine and Fluorine.
Infection control is the discipline concerned with preventing nosocomial or healthcare-associated infection, a practical (rather than academic) sub-discipline of epidemiology. It is an essential, though often underrecognized and undersupported, part of the infrastructure of health care. Infection control and hospital epidemiology are akin to public health practice, practiced within the confines of a particular health-care delivery system rather than directed at society as a whole. Anti-infective agents include antibiotics, antibacterials, antifungals, antivirals and antiprotozoals.[1]
Infection control addresses factors related to the spread of infections within the healthcare setting (whether patient-to-patient, from patients to staff and from staff to patients, or among-staff), including prevention (via hand hygiene/hand washing, cleaning/disinfection/sterilization, vaccination, surveillance), monitoring/investigation of demonstrated or suspected spread of infection within a particular health-care setting (surveillance and outbreak investigation), and management (interruption of outbreaks). It is on this basis that the common title being adopted within health care is "infection prevention and control." (got from google
Answer:
pH = 5.54
Explanation:
The pH of a buffer solution is given by the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach (H-H) equation</em>:
- pH = pKa + log
![\frac{[CH_3COO^-]}{[CH_3COOH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_3COO%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_3COOH%5D%7D)
For acetic acid, pKa = 4.75.
We <u>calculate the original number of moles for acetic acid and acetate</u>, using the <em>given concentrations and volume</em>:
- CH₃COO⁻ ⇒ 0.377 M * 0.250 L = 0.0942 mol CH₃COO⁻
- CH₃COOH ⇒ 0.345 M * 0.250 L = 0.0862 mol CH₃COOH
The number of CH₃COO⁻ moles will increase with the added moles of KOH while the number of CH₃COOH moles will decrease by the same amount.
Now we use the H-H equation to <u>calculate the new pH</u>, by using the <em>new concentrations</em>:
- pH = 4.75 + log
= 5.54
So we know the number of moles of each compound. If we need to know the concentration we must know the number of moles that the compounds react with...
