The amount the amount of space a population has to grow in would be a limiting factor.
Answer:
1. It depends what type of method you are using. if it is Height x Width x Length then it will not work for an irregular shape because it has extra pieces that would not be included.
2. The second method would work for both regular and irregular shapes because you would have to know or find out the volume of the regular shape to get the volume for the irregular shape.
3. It also depends on what you are doing, if you are doing a regular shape then use the first method, if it's an irregular shape then use the second method, if you do the maths correctly both should give you an accurate answer for what you want to achieve.
4. No, because the sugar would dissolve.
5. No, on this case the displacement method would not work because of the weight difference
Explanation:
All the answers for you!
The chemicals are reactive with one another
An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg of sodium phenate. What is the ph of the solution. The pka of phenol = 9.98. Mw of phenol and sodium phenate are 94 g/mol and 116 g/mol, respectively.
Volume of solution = 55 gallons = 208.2 L [ 1 gallon = 3.78 L]
moles of phenol = mass / molar mass = 4000 g / 94 = 42.55 moles
moles of sodium phenate = mass / molar mass = 1500 / 116 = 12.93 moles
pKa of phenol = 9.98
We know that the pH of buffer is calculated using Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]
volume is same for both the sodium phenate and phenol has we can directly take the moles of each in the formula
pH = 9.98 + log [12.93 / 42.55] = 9.46
