Arbon dioxide is dissolved in blood (ph 7.5) to form a mixture of carbonic acid and bicarbonate. Part a neglecting free co2, wha

Aleks04 [339]

Answer : The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%

Explanation :

The mixture consists of carbonic acid ( H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate ion ( HCO₃⁻). This represents a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate which is a buffer.

The pH of a buffer is calculated using Henderson equation which is given below.

$pH = pKa + log \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}$

We have been given,

pH = 7.5

pKa of carbonic acid = 6.3

Let us plug in the values in Henderson equation to find the ratio Base/Acid.

$7.5 = 6.3 + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}$

$1.2 = log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}$

$\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 10^{1.2}$

$\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 15.8$

$[Base] = 15.8 \times [Acid]$

The total of mole fraction of acid and base is 1. Therefore we have,

$[Acid] + [Base] = 1$

But Base = 15.8 x [Acid]. Let us plug in this value in above equation.

$[Acid] + 15.8 \times [Acid] = 1$

$16.8 [Acid] = 1$

$[Acid] = \frac{1}{16.8}$

$[Acid] = 0.0595$

[Acid] = 0.0595 x 100 = 5.95 %

The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%

A certain substance, X, has a triple-point temperature of 20°C at a pressure of 2.0 atm.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: The statement which could possibly not be true is C -" Liquid X can exist as a stable phase at 25°C, 1atm."

Explanation:

Triple point is the point where a substance co-exist as solid liquid and gas. At any point other than the triple point, the substance exist as a single phase substance.

As shown in the diagram, Liquid cannot exist as a stable phase at 1atm( below the the triple point pressure of 2atm) as the liquid can only exist beyond the pressure of triple point.
