Answer:
Animals gain energy from the food they eat. Some animals eat plants while others eat other animals. This is passing of energy from the sun to plants to animal to other animals is called a food chain
Answer:
760 uM
Explanation:
<em>A biochemist carefully measures the molarity of magnesium ion in 47, mL of cell growth medium to be 97 uM. Unfortunately, a careless graduate student forgets to cover the container of growth medium and a substantial amount of the solvent evaporates. The volume of the cell growth medium falls to 6.0 mL. Calculate the new molarity of magnesium ion in the cell growth medium Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
The problem here is that the amount of magnesium ion remains the same irrespective of the volume.
Amount of magnesium in the growth medium = <em>molarity x volume</em>
= 97 x
x 47 x
= 4.559 x 
Then, the volume reduced to 6.0 mL, the new molarity becomes;
<em>molarity = mole/volume </em>
= 4.559 x
/6 x
= 7.598333 x
M = 759.83333 uM
To the correct number of significant digits = 760 uM
Answer:
Amount of pyridine required = 0.0316 M
Explanation:
pH of a buffer solution is calculated by using Henderson - Hasselbalch equation.
![pH=pK_a+log\frac{[Conjugate\ base]}{[weak\ acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2Blog%5Cfrac%7B%5BConjugate%5C%20base%5D%7D%7B%5Bweak%5C%20acid%5D%7D)
Pyridinium is a weak acid and in the presence of its conjugate base, it acts as buffer.
Henderson - Hasselbalch equation for pyridine/pyridinium buffer is as follows:
![pH=pK_a+log\frac{[Py]}{PyH^+]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2Blog%5Cfrac%7B%5BPy%5D%7D%7BPyH%5E%2B%5D%7D)
pH = 4.7

(Pyridinium)=0.100 M
Substitute the values in the formula
![pH=pK_a+log\frac{[Py]}{PyH^+]}\\4.7=5.2 log\frac{[Py]}{0.100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2Blog%5Cfrac%7B%5BPy%5D%7D%7BPyH%5E%2B%5D%7D%5C%5C4.7%3D5.2%20log%5Cfrac%7B%5BPy%5D%7D%7B0.100%7D)
![4.7-5.2=log\frac{[Py]}{0.100} \\-0.5=log\frac{[Py]}{0.100}\\\frac{[Py]}{0.100}=antilog -0.5\\\frac{[Py]}{0.100}=0.316](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4.7-5.2%3Dlog%5Cfrac%7B%5BPy%5D%7D%7B0.100%7D%20%5C%5C-0.5%3Dlog%5Cfrac%7B%5BPy%5D%7D%7B0.100%7D%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B%5BPy%5D%7D%7B0.100%7D%3Dantilog%20-0.5%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B%5BPy%5D%7D%7B0.100%7D%3D0.316)
![\frac{[Py]}{0.100} =0.316](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BPy%5D%7D%7B0.100%7D%20%3D0.316)
[Py]=0.0316\ M
Amount of pyridine required = 0.0316 M
Benzene
- Benzene has low density than the water itself of about 0.9 g/cm³
Low denisty object than the water usually <u>floats on the water</u>.
Another example: orange peel which floats on water has density of about 0.84 g/cm³
