The fraction of carbonic acid in the blood is \boxed{0.0595}.

Further Explanation:

Buffer solution:

An aqueous solution of a weak acid or base and its conjugate base or acid respectively is known as buffer solutions. These show resistance in their pH values on the addition of small amounts of acid or base.

The given mixture contains carbonic acid and bicarbonate so it a buffer of a weak acid and its conjugate base.

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is used to determine the pH of buffer solutions. The mathematical form of this equation for the given buffer is as follows:

{\text{pH}} = {\text{p}}{K_{\text{a}}} + {\text{log}}\dfrac{{\left[ {{\text{HCO}}_3^ - } \right]}}{{\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right]}}                                            …… (1)

Rearrange equation (1) as follows:

\log \dfrac{{\left[ {{\text{HCO}}_3^ - } \right]}}{{\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right]}} = {\text{pH}} - {\text{p}}{K_{\text{a}}}                                              …… (2)

The value of pH is 7.5.

The value of {\text{p}}{K_{\text{a}}} is 6.3.

Substitute these values in equation (2).

 \begin{aligned}\log \frac{{\left[ {{\text{HCO}}_3^ - } \right]}}{{\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right]}}&= {\text{7}}{\text{.5}} - 6.3\\&= 1.2\\\end{aligned}

Solving for the ratio of \left[ {{\text{HCO}}_3^ - } \right] to \left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right],

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{{\left[ {{\text{HCO}}_3^ - }\right]}}{{\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}}\right]}} &= {10^{1.2}}\\&= 15.8\\\end{aligned}  

This implies the concentration of {\text{HCO}}_3^ - is 15.8 times of that of {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}. So it can be written as follows:

\left[ {{\text{HCO}}_3^ - } \right]= 15.8{\text{ }}\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right]     …… (3)                                                                

The total mole fraction of {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}} and {\text{HCO}}_3^ - is 1. So it can be written as follows:

\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right] + \left[ {{\text{HCO}}_3^ - } \right] = 1                                                               …… (4)

Substitute equation (3) in equation (4).

\begin{aligned}\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right] + 15.8{\text{ }}\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right]&= 1 \hfill\\16.8{\text{ }}\left[ {{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right] &= 1 \hfill\\\end{aligned}  

Solve for the concentration of {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}},

\begin{aligned}\left[{{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right]&= \frac{1}{{16.8}}\\&= 0.0595\\\end{aligned}

Therefore the fraction of carbonic acid in the blood is 0.0595.

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%

Is photosphere the layer that emits sunlight?​
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

In our Sun, as in other stars, roughly 99.9% or so of all light emitted is emitted in a thin layer known as the photosphere, or light sphere. This is explained as follows. Interior to the photosphere the gas is ever denser and becomes far too opaque for any photon to emerge directly from that layer.

How many moles of HCl are required to completely neutralize 0.30 moles of Ca(OH)2?
hammer [34]
Each mole of Ca(OH)₂ will produce 2 moles of OH- ions

Each mole of OH- ions will require one mole of H+ ions

Thus,
moles of OH- ions = moles of H+ ions = 2 x 0.3
moles of H+ ions required = 0.6

Each mole of HCl will produce one mole of H+ ions
Moles of HCl = moles of H+ ions
Moles of HCl = 0.6

Suppose that on a dry, sunny day when the air temperature is near 37 ∘C,37 ∘C, a certain swimming pool would increase in tempera
ioda

Answer:

The fraction of water body necessary to keep the temperature constant is 0,0051.

Explanation:

Heat:

Q=m*Ce*ΔT

Q= heat  (unknown)

m= mass  (unknown)

Ce= especific heat (1 cal/g*°C)

ΔT= variation of temperature  (2.75 °C)  

Latent heat:

ΔE=∝mΔHvap

ΔE= latent heat

m= mass  (unknown)

∝= mass fraction (unknown)

ΔHvap= enthalpy of vaporization (539.4 cal/g)

Since Q and E are equal, we can match both equations:

m*Ce*ΔT=∝*m*ΔHvap

Mass fraction is:

∝=\frac{Ce*ΔT}{ΔHvap}

∝=\frac{(1 cal/g*°C)*2.75°C}{539.4 cal/g}

∝=0,0051

Chlorine gas can be made from the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid. MnO2(s) + 4HCl(aq) → MnCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Please see the complete formt of the question below

Chlorine gas can be made from the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid.

MnO₂(s) + HCl(aq) → MnCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + Cl₂(g)

According to the above reaction, determine the limiting reactant when 5.6 moles of MnO₂ are reacted with 7.5 moles of HCl.

The answer to the above question is

The limiting reactant is the MnO₂

Explanation:

To solve this,  we note that one mole of MnO₂ reacts with one mole of HCl to produce one mole of MnCl₂, one mole of H₂O and one mole of Cl₂

Molar mass of MnO₂ = 86.9368 g/mol

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, 5.6 moles of MnO₂ will react with 5.6 moles of HCl to produce 5.6  moles of H₂O and 5.6 moles of Cl₂

However there are 7.5 moles of HCL therefore there will be an extra 7.5-5.6 or 1.9 moles of HCl remaining when the reaction is completed

How many moles of S2O8 2– react for every mole of S2O3 2– that reacts? Consider the balanced chemical equations for reactions 1
rewona [7]

For 1 mole of S₂O₃²⁻  0.5 mole of S₂O₈²⁻  will be used.

<h3>What is a balanced Reaction ?</h3>

A reaction in which the number of atoms in reactants is equal to the number of atoms in the products is called a balanced reaction.

The reaction given in the question is

S₂O₈²⁻   + 2I⁻      ⇄   2SO₄²⁻ + I₂

I₂ + 2S₂O₃²⁻ ⇄ 2I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻

Adding the equation will give balance equation

S₂O₈²⁻  + 2I⁻  + 2S₂O₃²⁻   ⇄ 2SO₄²⁻  + 2I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻

So x moles of S₂O₈²⁻ require 2x of S₂O₃²⁻

for 1 mole of S₂O₃²⁻  0.5 mole of S₂O₈²⁻  will be used.
