1. The molar mass of Fe2(CO3)3 is 291.72 g/mol. This means that 45.6 g is equivalent to 0.156 mol. Dividing by the 0.167 L of water gives a solution of 0.936 M.
2. Multiplying (0.672 M)(0.025 L) = 0.0168 mol. The molar mass of Ni(OH)2 is 92.71 g/mol, so multiplying by 0.0168 mol = 1.56 grams. Therefore you would need to dissolved 1.56 g of Ni(OH)2 into 25 mL of water.
3. Fe2(CO3)3 + Ni(OH)2 --> Fe(OH)3 + NiCO3Balancing: Fe2(CO3)3 + 3Ni(OH)2 --> 2Fe(OH)3 + 3NiCO3The reaction quotient is:[Fe(OH)3]^2 * [NiCO3]^3 / [Fe2(CO3)3][Ni(OH)2]^3= (0.05)^2 * (1.45)^3 / (0.936)(0.672)^3= 0.0268Since this is < 1, it implies that the reactants are favored at equilibrium.
Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is given as,
pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]
-------- (1)
Solution:
Convert Ka into pKa,
pKa = -log Ka
pKa = -log 1.37 × 10⁻⁴
pKa = 3.863
Putting value of pKa and pH in eq.1,
4.29 = 3.863 + log [lactate] / [lactic acid]
Or,
log [lactate] / [lactic acid] = 4.29 - 3.863
log [lactate] / [lactic acid] = 0.427
Taking Anti log,
[lactate] / [lactic acid]
= 2.673
Result:
2.673 M
lactate salt when mixed with 1 M Lactic acid produces a buffer of pH = 4.29.
SI unites are based on multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 (and so on...) depending on the unit you're solving for.
Answer:
a.) The garden plants provide energy to all the other organisms. While not every organism consumes garden plants directly, every organism's food lineage can be traced to garden plants. For instance, while ground beetles do not directly consume garden plants, they do eat snails, and snails eat garden plants.
b.) The slug population might increase is the aphid population decreased because there would be less competition for food resources. Both populations consume garden plants, and there is only a finite number of garden plants. Therefore, there is a limit that each population can consume. If there were less aphids eating the garden plants, there would be more left for the slugs. Less starving slugs would lead to greater reproduction and thus a higher slug population.
