Enter your answer in the provided box. The pH of a bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer is 5.41. Calculate the ratio of the concentr

ation of carbonic acid (H2CO3) to that of the bicarbonate ion (HCO3−). (Ka1 of carbonic acid is 4.2 × 10−7.)

Answer:

9.332 = [H₂CO₃] / [HCO₃⁻]

Explanation:

It is possible to find the ratio of carbonic acid:bicarbonate ion using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka+ log₁₀ [HCO₃⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

<em>If pH of the solution is 5.41 and pKa of the solution is -logKa = 6.38.</em>

Replacing:

5.41 = 6.38 + log₁₀ [HCO₃⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

-0.97 = log₁₀ [HCO₃⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

0.107 =  [HCO₃⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

This is the ratio of bicarbonate ion:carbonic acid, now, the ratio of carbonic acid:bicarbonate ion is:

1 / 0.107 = <em>9.332 = [H₂CO₃] / [HCO₃⁻]</em>

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

Selective breeding is a procedure that involves the purposeful breeding of selected parents in order to give rise to offsprings with desired traits. Selective breeding procedure has its own advantages, which includes the ability to produce more animal products such as milk, meat etc, however, it has disadvantages.

The disadvantages include that:

- Selectively bred animals are more likely to have some health problem

- Some desirable traits become more common in a population.

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l): ΔH = −890 kJ
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The reaction of one mole of oxygen (O2) releases 445 kJ of energy.

Explanation:

Firstly, the reaction is exothermic since the sign of enthalpy change ΔH  is negative.

The balanced equation: CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l): ΔH = −890 kJ,

Shows that 1 mole of CH₄ react with 2 moles of oxygen and releases 890 kJ.

So, every choice says that absorb is wrong (choice 1& 3).

Choice no. 4 is wrong since it says that 2 moles of methane releases 890 kJ, because only one mole release this amount of energy.

So, the right choice is The reaction of one mole of oxygen (O2) releases 445 kJ of energy.
