Answer:

5200 ppm

Explanation:

As per the definition, parts per million of a contaminant is a measure of the amount of mass of contaminant present per million amount of the solution. It is denoted by ppm.

Given in the question,

Water = 250 ml = 250 g

Lead = 1.30 g

So,

ppm of Lead = $\frac{Lead}{Water} \times 10^6$ = $\frac{1.30}{250} \times 10^6$ = 5200 ppm

So, as calculated above, there is 5200 ppm of lead present in 250 ml of water.

Since all atoms have negatively charged electrons, shouldn’t every sample of matter have a negative charge ? Explain

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The three sub-atomic particles that made up an atom are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and neutron are present in the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus in the orbits. The atoms are electrically neutral that is they have no charge due to the presence of equal number of protons (which is positively charged) and electrons (which is negatively charged).

All the atoms have negatively charged electrons which are counter balanced by the presence of equal number of protons in the nucleus of an atom and thus, the element is neutral in nature and possess no charge.

A phosphate buffer is involved in the formation of urine. The developing urine contains H2PO4 and HPO42- in the same concentrati

Katen [24]

Answer:

The ionization equation is

$H_{2}PO_{4}^{-} +H_{2}O$ ⇄ $HPO_{4}^{-2} +H_{3}O^{+}$ (1)

Explanation:

The ionization equation is

$H_{2}PO_{4}^{-} +H_{2}O$ ⇄ $HPO_{4}^{-2} +H_{3}O^{+}$ (1)

As the Bronsted definition sais, an acid is a substance with the ability to give protons thus, H2PO4 is the acid and HPO42- is the conjugate base.

The Ka expression is the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants of the equilibrium reaction so,

$Ka = \frac{[HPO_{4}^{-2}] [H_{3}O^{+}]}{[H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}] [H_{2}O]} = 6.2x10^{-8}$

The pKa is

$-Log (Ka) = -Log (6.2x10^{-8}) = 7.2$

The pKa of H2CO3 is 6,35, thus this a stronger acid than H2PO4. The higher the pKa of an acid greater the capacity to donate protons.

In the body H2CO3 is a more optimal buffer for regulating pH due to the combination of the two acid-base equilibriums and the two pKa.

If the urine is acidified, according to Le Chatlier's Principle the equilibrium (1) moves to the left neutralizing the excess proton concentration.

Nitrogen-13 has a half-life of about 10 minutes. How much of a 320g sample of N-13 would remain after 40 minutes?

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The half-life of a radioisotope describes the amount of time it takes for said isotope to decay to one-half the original amount present in the sample.

Nitrogen-13, because it has a half-life of ten minutes, will experience two half-lives over the course of the twenty minute period. This means that 25% of the isotope will remain after this.

0.25 x 128mg = 32mg

32mg of Nitrogen-13 will remain after 20 minutes.
