Answer:

The minimum amount of energy needed the the cell to perform various cellular,biochemical and physiological activities is known is Gibbs free energy.

Explanation:

The change in gibbs free energy of is very much important to determine whether a given reaction is spontaneous,non spontaneous or equilibrium.

1 If gibbs free energy change of a reaction is negative then the reaction is spontaneous.

2 If the free energy change is 0 then the reaction is in equilibrium stage.

3 If free energy change is positive then the reaction is non spontaneous.

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of propionic acid with a solution of 224.9 ml of a 0.6100M solution of propioni

Svetllana [295]

Answer: The pH of acid solution is 4.58

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For KOH:

Molarity of KOH solution = 1.1000 M

Volume of solution = 41.04 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.1000M=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}\times 1000}{41.04}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{1.1000\times 41.04}{1000}=0.04514mol$

For propanoic acid:

Molarity of propanoic acid solution = 0.6100 M

Volume of solution = 224.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.6100M=\frac{\text{Moles of propanoic acid}\times 1000}{224.9}\\\\\text{Moles of propanoic acid}=\frac{0.6100\times 224.9}{1000}=0.1372mol$

The chemical reaction for propanoic acid and KOH follows the equation:

$C_2H_5COOH+KOH\rightarrow C_2H_5COOK+H_2O$

Initial: 0.1372 0.04514

Final: 0.09206 - 0.04514

Total volume of solution = [224.9 + 41.04] mL = 265.94 mL = 0.26594 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[acid]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[C_2H_5COOK]}{[C_2H_5COOH]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 4.89

$[C_2H_5COOK]=\frac{0.04514}{0.26594}$

$[C_2H_5COOH]=\frac{0.09206}{0.26594}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=4.89+\log(\frac{(0.04514/0.26594)}{(0.09206/0.26594)})\\\\pH=4.58$

Hence, the pH of acid solution is 4.58

Why is it impossible to have an undiscovered element that would fit between sodium and magnesuim

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Sodium has 11 protons and Magnesium has 12. The way that the periodic table is set up doesn't allow for any elements to be in between. The element would have to have 11.5 protons, which is impossible

The compound magnesium iodide is a strong electrolyte write the reaction when solid magnesium iodide is put into water

mestny [16]

The reaction for magnesium iodide when put into water is as below

MgI2(s) → Mg^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq)

when magnesium iodide but into water it dissociate/ ionize completely into Mg^2+ and 2l^- ions. Magnesium iodide dissociate/ionize completely because magnesium iodide is a strong electrolyte which dissociate/ ionize completely into their ions when it is put into water .
