Answer:

Black holes are so dense that light cannot escape from them, and they are difficult to detect. Satellites above the Earth's atmosphere can detect bursts of high energy radiation given off by black holes. Dozens of stellar black holes have already been detected in the Milky Way, where there may be tens of millions more.

Assume that Na+ is being transported across a membrane via facilitated diffusion. Which of the following conditions would allow

lesya [120]

Answer:

<h2>4. Na+ diffusing toward the side of the membrane with Cl− and 50% less Na+.</h2>

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a type of transport mechanism in which the special proteins are involved and play an important role in the transport of the atoms, ions or molecules. This mechanism is based on the electrochemical gradient differences. When this difference increase, then the transport of the sodium takes place because sodium ions are chemically attracted by chloride ions. In a facilitated diffusion process, no energy requirement takes place. This process occurs along the concentration gradient.

Calculate the ph of a dilute solution that contains a molar ratio of potassium acetate to acetic acid (pka ???? 4.76) of (a) 2:1

givi [52]

According to Hasselbach-Henderson equation:

$pH=pK_{a}+log\frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}$

Here, $[A^{-}]$ is concentration of conjugate base and [HA] is concentration of acid.

In the given problem, conjugate base is $CH_{3}COOK$ and acid is $CH_{3}COOH$ thus, Hasselbach-Henderson equation will be as follows:

$pH=pK_{a}+log\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}$ ...... (1)

(a) Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 2:1 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=2$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{2}{1}=5.06$

Therefore, pH of solution is 5.06.

(b) Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 1:3 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=\frac{1}{3}$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{1}{3}=4.28$

Therefore, pH of solution is 4.28.

(c)Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 5:1 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=\frac{5}{1}$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{5}{1}=5.45$

Therefore, pH of solution is 5.45.

(d) Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 1:1 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=1$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{1}{1}=4.76$

Therefore, pH of solution is 4.76.

(e) Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 1:10 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=\frac{1}{10}$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{1}{10}=3.76$

Therefore, pH of solution is 3.76.

Because of the mud in the muddy water eventually settles out the muddy water is a ____________.

sp2606 [1]

it should be B. solution; a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).

witch basically means it sorts it self out when left a lone, like soap and water when not touched or the oil in the dressings you get at the store. hope this helped :D
