Answer:

The other may not be free.

Explanation:

In the polymer-supported reaction with methanol, the reaction will undergo at one hydroxyl group because others may not be free due to bonding with other molecules. The hydroxyl groups could be bonded with the polymer with the help of hydrogen bonding of molecules. The hydroxyl group has to be bonded to only the compatible molecules and free molecules.

What is the concentration of the hydroxide ion? Given that the concentration of the hydronium ion is 2.3 X 10^-7 M
professor190 [17]

Answer:

4.35 * 10^-8 M

Explanation:

Since the concentration of the hydronium ion= 2.3 X 10^-7 M

And we know that;

[H3O^+] [OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14

[H3O^+]  = concentration of the hydronium ion

[OH^-] = concentration of the hydroxide ion

So;

[OH^-] =1 * 10^-14/[ H3O^+]

But [H3O^+] = 2.3 X 10^-7 M

[OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14/2.3 X 10^-7

[OH^-] = 4.35 * 10^-8 M

Indicate which of the following criteria are important for the selection of a buffer to use in an in vitro biochemical reaction.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.

Explanation:

The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.

Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.
