Which of the pairs below would be the best choice for a pH 5 buffer? HF/NaF, K a (HF) = 3.5 × 10-4 HC2H3O2/KC2H3O2, K a (HC2H3O2

) = 1.8 × 10-5 NH3/NH4Cl, K b (NH3) = 1.8 × 10-5

Answer:

HC₂H₃O₂/KC₂H₃O₂

Explanation:

Considering the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the basic buffer solution as:


pH=pK_b+log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}


For a best pair, the pKa value must be equal to pH.

NH₃/NH₄Cl forms a basic buffer and cannot account for pH = 5

out of the acidic buffer given,

So, HF , Ka = 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ , So pKa = 3.46

HC₂H₃O₂ , Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵ , So pKa = 4.77

<u>The best pair to show pH = 5 is HC₂H₃O₂/KC₂H₃O₂</u>

Zainab is in science class, and he is studying an organism that reproduces sexually. The genetic material of the organism
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The genetic material of the organism will be DNA.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction can be described as a type of reproduction in which offsprings with genetic diversity are produced. Sexual reproduction occurs by the process of meiosis.

DNA is the genetic material which is passed from the parents to the offsprings at the time of fertilization. However, the phenomenon of individual assortment and crossing over during the process of meiosis produces genetic variability among the children and the parents.
