Dear user,
Answer to your query is provided below
When small amount of acid was added to buffered solution, pH will change very less.
Explanation:
Buffer solution resists change in ph on adding small amount of acid or base but when we calculate the value of buffer capacity we take the change in ph when we add acid or base to 1 lit solution of buffer.This contradicts the definition of buffer solution.
Answer:
Protein Concentration is 2.82mg/L
Explanation:
According to Beer-Lambert's Law, Absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration.
However, the concentration of a solution can be determined from a calibration curve, in which Absorbance is plotted on the y-axis and the Concentration on the x-axis.
Plotting the best line, the equation of line is used
y = mx + c
where y is absorbance = 0.150
m is slope = 0.0163
x is concentration
c is intercept = 0.104
inserting the values from the question
y = mx + c
0.150 = 0.0163x + 0.104
0.0163x = 0.150 - 0.104
0.0163x = 0.046
Divide both sides by 0.0163
0.0163x/0.0163 = 0.046/0.0163
x = 2.82
Concentration of protein = 2.82 mg/L
Answer:
Option B. Cation that is smaller than the original atom.
Explanation:
Magnesium is a divalent element. This implies that magnesium can give up 2 electrons to become an ion (cation) as shown below:
Mg —> Mg²⁺ + 2e¯
Next, we shall write the electronic configuration of magnesium atom (Mg) and magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). This can be written as follow:
Mg (12) = 2, 8, 2
Mg²⁺ (10) = 2, 8
From the above illustration, we can see that the magnesium atom (Mg) has 3 shells while the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) has 2 shells.
This simply means that the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) i.e cation is smaller that the original magnesium atom (Mg).
