Answer:
they must have same atomic number and different atomic mass
Explanation:
According to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the relation between pH and
is as follows.
pH = 
where, pH = 7.4 and
= 7.21
As here, we can use the
nearest to the desired pH.
So, 7.4 = 7.21 + 
0.19 = 
= 1.55
1 mM phosphate buffer means
+
= 1 mM
Therefore, the two equations will be as follows.
= 1.55 ............. (1)
+
= 1 mM ........... (2)
Now, putting the value of
from equation (1) into equation (2) as follows.
1.55
= 1 mM
2.55
= 1 mM
= 0.392 mM
Putting the value of
in equation (1) we get the following.
0.392 mM +
= 1 mM
= (1 - 0.392) mM
= 0.608 mM
Thus, we can conclude that concentration of the acid must be 0.608 mM.
The answer is C. The independent variable is the factor that is changed by the experimenter and impacts the dependent variable.
