In eukaryotic cells the citric acid cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.
<span>Mg + O2 > MgO. In reactant side, 2 O atoms and 1 Mg are present. In product side, 1 Mg and O atoms are present. Put 2 in product side to balance O atoms and 2 at Mg in reactant side to balance Mg atoms. Therefore the balanced equation becomes, 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO. Hope it helps.</span>
To determine the concentration of one solution which is specifically basic or acidic solution through taking advantage on its points of equivalence, titration analysis is done.
Let us determine the reaction for the titration below:
2NaOH +2H2SO4 = Na2SO4 +2H2O
So,
0.0665 mol NaOH (2 mol H2SO4/ 2mol NaOH) / .025 L solution
= 2.62 M H2SO4
The answer is the fourth option:
<span>2.62 M</span>
One of the best buffer choice for pH = 8.0 is Tris with Ka value of 6.3 x 10^-9.
To support this answer, we first calculate for the pKa value as the negative logarithm of the Ka value:
pKa = -log Ka
For Tris, which is an abbreviation for 2-Amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3 -diol and has a Ka value of 6.3 x 10^-9, the pKa is
pKa = -log Ka
= -log (6.3x10^-9)
= 8.2
We know that buffers work best when pH is equal to pKa:
pKa = 8.2 = pH
Therefore Tris would be a best buffer at pH = 8.0.
