Answer:

A wave transfers energy through a medium or empty space without transporting matter.

Explanation:

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point known as the source to another.
Waves may transfer energy through a material medium or a vacuum without transporting matter.
Waves that transfer energy from one point to another through a material medium are known as mechanical waves.
Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are those that do not require a material medium for transmission, the transfer of energy is through a vacuum.
Waves can also be either transverse or longitudinal waves based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.

1. john needs to create a buffered solution at a ph of 3.5 for his biomedical laboratory

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid

Explanation:

John could prepare a lactate buffer.

He can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the acid/base ratio for the buffer.

$\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\3.5 = 3.86 + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 3.5 - 3.86 = -0.36\\\\\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 10^{-0.36} = \mathbf{0.44}$

He should use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid.

For example, he could mix equal volumes of 0.044 mol·L⁻¹ lactate and 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ lactic acid.

soldi70 [24.7K]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?

a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA

d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells

Answer:

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

Explanation:

Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).

This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.

All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.

A mixture of carbon dioxide and helium gases is maintained in a 7.91 L flask at a pressure of 1.42 atm and a temperature of 33 °

Crank

Answer:

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the flask = 7.91 L

Total Pressure = 1.42 atm

Temperature = 33 °C

Mass of CO2 = 8.25 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate total number moles of gas

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure = 1.42 atm

⇒ V = the volume = 7.91 L

⇒ n= the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L* atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 33 °C = 306 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (1.42*7.91)/(0.08206 * 306)

n = 0.447 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 8.25 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.1875 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Helium

Moles Helium = total moles of gas - moles of CO2

Moles Helium = 0.447 - 0.1875 = 0.2595 moles of helium

Step 5: Calculate mass of helium

Mass of helium = moles of helium * molar mass of helium

Mass of helium = 0.2595 moles * 4 g/mol

Mass of helium = 1.038 grams

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium
