The value for Kw is 1.0 x 10-14 at 298K, but this value is temperature dependent. Given what you know about Kw and acid/base che

mistry, what will the pH of water be at 283K if the value for Kw is 0.29 x 10-14? Is this solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
a. pH = 7.26, acidic
b. pH = 7.26, neutral
c. pH = 7.00, neutral
d. pH = 14.54, basic
e. pH = 7.26, basic

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-

The ionic product of water : K_w

K_w=[H^+][OH^-]

A pure water has equal concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, hence neutral.

K_w=[H^+][H^+]=[H^+]^2

The ionic product of water at 283 K = K_w=0.29\times 10^{-14}

K_w=[H^+]^2

0.29\times 10^{-14}=[H^+]^2

[H^+]=5.385\times 10^{-8} M

The pH of the water at 283 k;

pH=-\log [H^+]

=-\log[5.385\times 10^{-8} M]=7.26

A pure water has equal concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions,So water will e neutral at this temperature also.

The correct answer is option b.

In contracting skeletal muscle, a sudden elevation of cytosolic Ca2 concentration will result in: Inactivation of phosphorylase
skad [1K]

Answer:

ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE AND ALLOSTERICALLY ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE B

Explanation:

In a contracting skeletal muscle, there is a rapid need of ATP by the muscle cell. The energy need is obtained by the degradation of glycogen into glucose which then enters glycolysis.  Muscle contraction causes muscle depolarization in which there is the rapid influx of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sacroplasm of the myocytes. This in turn causes the binding of calcium ion with calmodulin which thenb activates phosphorylase kinase from which it  allosterically activate the b form of the enzyme needed for the conversion of glycogen to glucose. The other options do not occur as a result of increase in cytolic calcium concentration.

Iron is extracted from its ore (hematite) in the blast furnace. Which gas is produced as a waste product?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

CO2

Explanation:

CO2 or carbon dioxide is produced when iron is extracted from its ore. Carbon monoxide Co is used as reducing agent in iron extraction. In this reaction iron ore is reduced to iron and CO is oxidized to CO2 or carbon dioxide which is released in the process. There extraction of iron is redox reaction.
