Given :

pH of solution of mixture of lactic acid and lactate is 4.26 .

To Find : log( \dfrac{[ \text{Conc. of lactate}]}{[\text{Conc . of lactic acid }]})  = 0.4

The ratio of the lactate concentration to the lactate .

Solution :

We know , pKa of lactic acid is :

pKa = 3.86 .

Now , the solution of lactic acid and lactate is a buffer solution .

So , pHof buffer acid is given by :

pH=pKa+log(\dfrac{[Salt]}{[Acid]})

Putting all given values :

log( \dfrac{[ \text{Conc. of lactate}]}{[\text{Conc . of lactic acid }]})  = 0.4

Taking anti log both the sides , we get :

\dfrac{[ \text{Conc. of lactate}]}{[\text{Conc . of lactic acid }]}  = 2.51

Therefore , the ratio of the lactate concentration to the lactate is 2.51 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Plan an investigation using solid and liquid water to show that thermal energy is not the same as temperature.
algol [13]

The investigation using solid and liquid water to show that thermal energy is not the same as temperature is:

  • Place a glass of water and a lake and both should be at the same temperature, find out if do they have the same amount of total thermal energy.

<h3>What is the response to the experiment above?</h3>

The response is No, because the lake is known to have a lot more particles than the glass of water and so they will not have the same  thermal energy.

Note that the temperature is seen as the an average and thermal energy is seen to be the total. A glass of water can be able to have the same temperature as what we call Lake Superior, but the lake has a lot of thermal energy due to the fact that the lake has a lot of water molecules.

So the investigation using solid and liquid water to show that thermal energy is not the same as temperature is Place a glass of water and a lake and both should be at the same temperature, find out if do they have the same amount of total thermal energy.

Put the steps in the process of photosynthesis in order
shepuryov [24]

Step 1-Light Dependent

CO2 and H2O enter the leaf

Step 2- Light Dependent

Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2

Step 3- Light Dependent

The electrons move down to enzymes

Step 4-Light Dependent

Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH

Step 5-Light independent

The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.

Step 6-Light independent

The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose

calvin cycle

The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions), involving atmospheric CO2 fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate.

Answer:

Scientific Explanation of weather change and cause storms is described below in detail.

Explanation:

The weather is just the nature of the environment at any time, including items such as warmth, rainfall, air pressure, and cloud shelter. Daily variations in the weather are due to storms and winds. Seasonal variations are due to the Earth spinning nearby the sun. Warm beginnings often produce stormy weather as the heated air mass at the exterior rises above the cool air mass, creating clouds and storms.
