Answer:

both drugs will be equally effective

Explanation:

A racemic mixture is a substance that contains a 50/50 mixture of the (+) and (-) enantiomers of an optically active compound.

It is important to note that even if a drug occurs as a racemic mixture, only the biologically active enantiomer will interact with the substrate on which the drug acts. The other enantiomer present is just irrelevant. Similarly, its presence does not affect the biological activity of the active enantiomer.

Hence, both Prilosec and Nexium are both equally effective.

Calculate the ratio of naf to hf required to create a buffer with ph = 4.05.
NARA [144]
PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula: 
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case. 

By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4 
<span>pKa= -log(Ka)=</span><span> 3.46 </span>

<span>pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] </span>

4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF] 

log [NaF / [HF]<span> = 0.59
</span>
[NaF / [HF] = 3.89

Which particle has a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit?
labwork [276]
The answer is D) a neutron.

When we say an atom's mass is, like 5 atomic mass units actually we are saying that the total number of the neutrons and protons in its nucleus is 5.

The mass of a neutron and a proton is each one atomic mass unit.

Mass of a neutron is approximately 1 atomic mass unit.

How isa molecule of mercury different from a molocue of water
Genrish500 [490]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The density of mercury molecule is higher than water.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.In other words, density is the amount of matter within a given amount of space. water has the density of 1.0 gram per milliliter whereas the mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared.

One reason for the differences in density between mercury and water is that the atomic mass of mercury is 200.59 grams per mole. The atomic mass of water is 18.0 grams per mole. This is because mercury has a larger nucleus than hydrogen or water.

Additionally, there are strong inter-molecular forces (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules. hydrogen molecules do not stack upon one another as nicely as mercury atoms. Thus, there is additional empty spaces between the water molecules leading to its lower mass per volume(density)
