Answer: Buffer solution

Explanation:

Buffer is a solution which resists changes in pH when small quantities of acid or alkali are added to it.

It is formed by combination of weak acid and salt of weak acid with strong base called as acidic buffer.Example: CH_3COOH and CH_3COONa

Or it is formed by combination of weak base and salt of weak base with strong acid called as basic buffer buffer. Example: NH_4OH and NH_4Cl

When acid is added to buffer, the buffer releases OH^- ions to neutralize the acid added and when base is added to buffer, the buffer releases H^+ ions to neutralize the base added.

Tom [10]

Answer:

  • <em>(B.) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of strong acid.</em>
  • <em>(C.) A buffer is generally made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base. </em>
  • <em>(D.) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when any amount of a strong acid is added.</em>

Explanation:

A buffer is  solution which resists change in pH upon addition of either acids or bases.

The pH of a buffer is calculated by the ratio of the concentration  of base to concentration of acid. The weak acid and conjugate base have a Ka similar to the pH desired.

Which of the following is defined as the mass of an atom based on the mass of an atom of carbon-12?
iogann1982 [59]
<span>This would be the atomic mass. In an atom of carbon-12, there are 6 protons and 6 neutrons at rest (electrons have a negligible mass and are usually not part of the overall mass calculation). All atomic masses are based off the measurements of this specific iteration of carbon.</span>

Question 3 (1 point)
pentagon [3]

Full question:

The IUPAC name for  CH3CH2C≡CCH3 is:

Answer:

2-pentyne

Explanation:

To name hydrocarbons, you first you have to identify the longest carbon chain.  There are 5 carbons in this chain, so we know the name is "pent".

You then have to identify the presence of any double or triple bonds. If double bonds, it is an alkene, if triple bonds, it is an alkyne. In this case there is a triple bond, so we know the hydrocarbon is pentyne.

You then number the chain to give the lowest number to the triple bond. It could either be 4 (countnig carbons from left to right) or 2 (from right to left). Therefore, the answer is 2-pentyne.

What is the purpose of adding 0. 1% agar to the trypticase nitrate broth when conducting the nitrate reduction test?.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Agar is used to assist establish an anaerobic environment that promotes nitrate reduction.

Nitrate Reduction test:

  • The nitrate in the broth is converted to nitrite by organisms that can produce the nitrate reductase enzyme, which can then be further converted to nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, or nitrogen.
  • Anaerobic respiration and denitrification are two processes that can convert nitrate to a variety of compounds.
  • While denitrification only reduces nitrate to molecular nitrogen, anaerobic respiration employs nitrate as the bacterium's final electron acceptor, reducing it to a range of chemicals.
  • The nitrate reduction test is based on the detection of nitrite and its capacity to produce a red precipitate (prontosil), which is a water-soluble azo dye, when it combines with sulfanilic acid to create a complex (nitrite-sulfanilic acid).
