Henderson–<span>Hasselbalch equation is given as,

                                         pH  =  pKa  +  log [A</span>⁻] / [HA]   -------- (1)
Solution:
               
Convert Ka into pKa

                                         pKa  =  -log Ka

                                         pKa  =  -log 1.37 × 10⁻⁴

                                         pKa  =  3.863

Putting value of pKa and pH in eq.1,

                                         4.54  =  3.863 + log [lactate] / [lactic acid]
Or,
                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  4.54 - 3.863

                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  0.677

Taking Anti log,
                             [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  4.75
Result:
           4.75 M 
lactate salt when mixed with 1 M Lactic acid produces a buffer of pH = 4.54.

0.005 molar Ca(OH)2 solution is used in the titration.calculate the pH oh solution
Rus_ich [418]

Ca(OH)₂: strong base

pOH = a . M

a = valence ( amount of OH⁻)

M = concentration

Ca(OH)₂ ⇒ Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ (2 valence)

so:

pOH = 2 x 0.005

pOH = 0.01

pH = 14 - 0.01 = 13.99

What happens to the air as it gets farther from the heat source?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

molecules heat and move faster, they are moving apart. So air, like most other substances, expands when heated and contracts when cooled.

Explanation:

Because there is more space between the molecules, the air is less dense than the surrounding matter and the hot air floats upward.

Calculate the number of molecules in 210 grams of H2O
spin [16.1K]
H2O=18.01g/mole. 210g divided by 18.01g/mole=11.653mole. 1 mole has 6.22x10^23 molecules. So there is 11.653x(6.22x10^23) molecules. Just multiply 11.653 by 6.22. Then put it as answerx10^23 molecules

What should be done if particles of precipitate appear in the filtrate?
Volgvan
<span>The instructor should be questioned to see if the filtrate is able to be recycled. This precipitate can contaminate the filtrate, rendering it useless for repeated experiments. If it is able to be recycled, a second pass through the filter might be required to remove the precipitate.</span>
