Why are buffers important to living things ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
andrew-mc [135]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Living systems are very sensitive to pH changes.  Your blood, for example, has a pH of about 7.4.  A rise or drop greater than 0.05 would require hospitalization (alkalosis and acidosis respectively).  A rise or drop of 0.2 is fatal.  If it weren't for the blood-buffering system, then swings this high and greater would be easy to accomplish and maintaining a living system would essentially be impossible.

I hope I answer your question.

Now, examine the structures of benzhydrol and fluorene. Both compounds contain the same number of carbons but have very differen
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The OH group

Explanation:

Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.

The smell of hot food moves faster than the smell of cold food. Which property of gas is responsible for this? A. The kinetic en
Evgen [1.6K]

A. The kinetic energy of gas particles is higher in hot food than in cold food.

Explanation:

The smell of a hot food moves faster than the smell of a cold food because the kinetic energy of gas particles is higher in hot food than in cold food.

Let us establish that the smell of the food perceived are gases from the food.

  • Both hot food and cold food emits these gases that tinkers our olfactory nerves.
  • Hot food produces a hot gas.
  • The higher the temperature the more kinetic energy it possess.
  • This makes the gases more dispersed and it spreads faster.
  • The cold food produces gas at a lower kinetic energy.
