Answer : The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
Explanation :
The mixture consists of carbonic acid ( H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate ion ( HCO₃⁻). This represents a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate which is a buffer.
The pH of a buffer is calculated using Henderson equation which is given below.
![pH = pKa + log \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20pKa%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
We have been given,
pH = 7.5
pKa of carbonic acid = 6.3
Let us plug in the values in Henderson equation to find the ratio Base/Acid.
![7.5 = 6.3 + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7.5%20%3D%206.3%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
![1.2 = log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1.2%20%3D%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
![\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 10^{1.2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%20%3D%2010%5E%7B1.2%7D)
![\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 15.8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%20%3D%2015.8)
![[Base] = 15.8 \times [Acid]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BBase%5D%20%3D%2015.8%20%5Ctimes%20%5BAcid%5D)
The total of mole fraction of acid and base is 1. Therefore we have,
![[Acid] + [Base] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%2B%20%5BBase%5D%20%3D%201)
But Base = 15.8 x [Acid]. Let us plug in this value in above equation.
![[Acid] + 15.8 \times [Acid] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%2B%2015.8%20%5Ctimes%20%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%201)
![16.8 [Acid] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=16.8%20%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%201)
![[Acid] = \frac{1}{16.8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B16.8%7D)
![[Acid] = 0.0595](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%200.0595)
[Acid] = 0.0595 x 100 = 5.95 %
The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
six commonly recognised metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Five elements are less frequently so classified: carbon, aluminium, selenium, polonium, and astatine.
Explanation:
Here I send you all the 3 elements that you are asking for.
Notice that first on the left you will find lewis structure, then condensed and finally chemical formula of each of the compound you enlisted.
69. The student's skin was obviously warmer than the initial temperature of the bracelet. According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from a higher temperature to a lower temperature hence heat transfers from the student's skin to the bracelet warming up the bracelet.
70. moles of copper=mass of copper/molar mass of copper
=30.1g/(63.55g/mol)= 0.4736 moles Cu
71. Delta H( heat released) = mCp(deltaT) = 30.1g(0.385 J/gK)(33-19)K = 162.23J
72. Copper is chemically less active than iron.
Momentum and Kinetic Energy...They both are directly proportional to the
Mass and Velocity of the object and they are the only factors which
determine them.
Hope this helps!
