You decided to prepare a phosphate buffer from solid sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2H

PO4)and you need 1L of the buffer at pH 7.00 with a total phosphate concentration(NaH2PO4+ Na2HPO4) of 0.100 M. Hint:Phosphoric acid (H3PO4), a triprotic acid, has 3 pKa values: 2.14, 6.86, and12.4. Determine the weight in grams of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4;138g/mol) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4;142g/mol) needed to prepare this buffer.

Answer:

For disodium hydrogen phosphate:

5.32g Na2HPO4

For sodium dihydrogen phosphate:

7.65g Na2HPO4

Explanation:

First, you have to put all the data from the problem that you going to use:

-NaH2PO4 (weak acid)

-Na2HPO4 (a weak base)

-Volume = 1L

-Buffer pH = 7.00

-Concentration of [NaH2PO4 + Na2HPO4] = 0.100 M

What we need to find the pKa of the weak acid, in this case NaH2PO4, for that you need to find the Ka (acid constant) of NaH2PO4, and for this we use the pKa of the phosphoric acid as follow:

H3PO4 = H2PO4 + H+    pKa1 = 2.14

H2PO4 = HPO4 + H+       pKa2 = 6.86

HPO4 = PO4 + H+      pKa3 = 12.4

So, for the preparation of buffer, you need to use the pKa that is near to the value of the pH that you want, so the choice will be:

pKa2= 6.86

Now we going to use the Henderson Hasselbalch equation for the pH of a buffer solution:

pH = pKa2 + log [(NaH2PO4)/(Na2HPO4)]

The solution of the problem is attached to this answer.

The sodium-potassium exchange pump
trapecia [35]

Answer: The correct answer is option E

Explanation:

Sodium/potassium pump is a mechanism that involves the movement of sodium ions (Na+) out of a cell and potassium ions (K+) into a cell, thereby regulating concentration of ions on both sides of a typical cell membrane.

In this situation, the sodium-potassium pump is usually helps in the establishment of the resting potential. The potassium voltage channels normally closes before the membrane potential is brought to a resting level.

In summary, sodium/potassium pump helps to maintain a balance in the system.

Travka [436]

Answer

Africa

Explanation:

Burning fossil fuels and deforestation is disturbingly heightened in Africa with almost no viable measure taking to control it's effect. No effective programs are presently in place to control excessive tree falling used for herbs, firewood, charcoal business and a whole lot. Below standard carbon rating PMS are in high circulation with fumes, carbon monoxide is full abundance in the atmosphere. Presently, all these unchecked activities have resulted into unexplainable excessive increase in temperatures, breeding neck twisting diseases, severe skin infections, dehydration and increase diabetes. Drought has eaten up landlocked cities in Nigeria and Central Africa. Infact farmers have lost count of the usual natural cycle of rainfall and the beginning of each farming season due to this essential evil of climate change
