Answer:

Fluids (air/water) either as water vapour or oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Heat transfer occurs through conduction, convection or radiation.

Many aties, this involves fluids whose molecules have been activated by heated by heat, moving from hotter to cooler regions, allowing for heating or cooling of the rooms.

Building materials have varying conductivity.

The valences of metal x,y and z are 1,2 and 3 respectively. What are the formulae of their;a) hydroxides, b) sulphates, c) hydro
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

AS we know that the valence for those metals X, Y, and Z are 1, 2 and 3, we can determine the formula of each compound.

1. Hydroxides.

An hydroxide is formed when an oxyde of a metal reacts with water. When this happens, the general molecular formula is:

Meₐ(OH)ₙ

Where:

a: valence or charge of the hydroxide (Which is -1)

n: valence of the metal.

Following this, the formula for X, Y and Z would be:

XOH

Y(OH)₂

Z(OH)₃

2. Sulphates

Sulphates follow a similar rule of hydroxide in the general molecular formula, but instead of having a charge of -1, it has a charge of -2 so:

Mₐ(SO₄)ₙ

So, following the rule:

X₂SO₄

Y₂(SO₄)₂ ------> YSO₄

Z₂(SO₄)₃

3. Hydrogens

Following the same rule as the previous, hydrogens works with a charge of -1, so:

MₐHₙ

Then:

XH

YH₂

ZH₃

4. Carbonates.

This follows the same rule as sulphates, with the same charge so:

Mₐ(CO₃)ₙ

Then:

X₂CO₃

YCO₃

Z₂(CO₃)₃

5. Nitrates

Follow the same rule as the hydroxides, with the same charge of -1.

Mₐ(NO₃)ₙ

Then:

XNO₃

Y(NO₃)₂

Z(NO₃)₂

6. Phosphates

In the case of phosphates, these have a charge of -3 so:

Mₐ(PO₄)ₙ

Then:

X₃PO₄

Y₃(PO₄)₂

Z₃(PO₄)₃ ----> ZPO₄

Hope this helps

What are the primary chemical components present in a phosphate buffer at ph 7.4? H3po4 and po43–?
fenix001 [56]

Answer :

The correct answer for primary component of phosphate buffer at pH = 7.4 is H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻ .

<u>Buffer solution :</u>

It is a solution of mixture of weak acid and its conjugate base OR weak base and its conjugate acid . It resist any change in solution when small amount of strong acid or base is added .

<u>Capacity of a good buffer : </u>

A good buffer is identified when pH = pKa .

From Hasselbalch - Henderson equation which is as follows :

pH = pka + log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

If [A⁻] = [HA] ,

pH = pka + log 1

pH = pKa

This determines that if  concentration of  weak acid  and its conjugate base are changed in small quantity , the capacity of  buffer to maintain a constant pH is greatest at pka .  If the amount of [A⁻] or [HA] is changed in large amount , the log value deviates more than +/-  1M and hence pH .

Hence Buffer has best capacity at pH = pka .

<u>Phosphate Buffer : </u>

Phosphate may have three types of acid-base pairs at different pka ( shown in image ).

Since the question is asking the pH = 7.4

At pH = 7.4 , the best phosphate buffer will have pka near to 7.4 .

If image is checked the acid - base pair  " H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻  has pka 7.2 which is near to pH = 7.4 .

Hence we can say  , the primary chemical component of phosphate buffer at pH = 7.4  is H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻  .
