A small amount of acid is added to a buffer solution, the ph of the solution will

A. increase

B. decrease

C. stay about the same

D. become neutral

correct option is <u>option C </u>

Buffer is a solution which can resist the change in pH with small addition of acid or base.

Hence a small amount of acid when added to a buffer solution will not change its pH,or its <u>pH remains the same.</u>

Calculate the amount of ATP in kg that is turned over by a resting human every 24 hours. Assume that a typical human contains ~5

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 66.35 kilograms.

Explanation:

Based on the data given in the question, the energy consumed by the body of a human being is 50%. Based on the given data, the energy consumed in a day is 8000 kJ, 50 percent is the energy transfer efficiency. Thus, the consumption of total energy is 4000 kJ, and for the transformation of ADP to ATP, the energy involved is 30.6 kJ per mole.

Hence, the total ATP produced in the process is,

ATP = 4000 kJ / 30.6 kJ/mol

= 130.7189 mol.

Thus, with the energy transfer efficiency of 50 percent, the total moles of ATP produced is 130.7 mol.

The mass of ATP can be calculated by using the formula,

moles = mass/molecular mass

The molecular mass of ATP is 507.18 g per mol

Now by putting the values we get,

mass of ATP = 130.7189 mol * 507.18 g/mol

= 66298.011 g or 66.298 kg

It is mentioned that human comprise 50 g of ATP or 0.05 kg of ATP. Therefore, the sum of the available ATP will be.

= Total production of ATP + Total ATP available

= 66.298 kg + 0.05 kg

= 66.348 kg

Hence, the sum of the ATP that is turned over by a resting human in a day is 66.35 kg.

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of a 6.21 g sample of iron from 25.0 oC to 79.8 oC?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

151.1J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of iron = 6.21g

Initial temperature of iron = 25°C

Final temperature of iron = 79.8°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat require to cause this temperature can be determined using the expression below;

H = m c (T₂ - T₁)

H is the amount of heat

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

T is the temperature

Specific heat capacity of iron 0.444J/g°C

Insert the parameters and solve;

H = 6.21 x 0.444 x (79.8 - 25)

H = 151.1J

Phosphate buffers are commonly used in biological research. If a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that

lozanna [386]

Answer:

A) [H3PO4] will increase, [KH2PO4] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution which resists changes to its pH when a small amount of acid or base is added to it.

Buffers consist of a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A–) or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Weak acids and bases do not completely dissociate in water, and instead exist in solution as an equilibrium of dissociated and undissociated species. When a small quantity of a strong acid is added to a buffer solution, the conjugate base, A-, reacts with the hydrogen ions from the added acid to form the weak acid and a salt thereby removing the extra hydrogen ions from the solution and keeping the pH of the solution fairly constant. On the other hand, if a small quantity of a strong base is added to the buffer solution, the weak acid dissociates further to release hydrogen ions which then react with the hydroxide ions of the added base to form water and the conjugate base.

For example, if a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that is 0.700 M H3PO4 and 0.700 M KH2PO4, the following reaction is obtained:

KH₂PO₄ + H+ ----> K+ + H₃PO₄

Therefore, [H₃PO₄] will increase, [KH₂PO₄] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.:

What salt is produced in each of the following neutralization reactions? HNO3(aq)+KOH(aq)→H2O(l)+? HNO3(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→H2O(l)+?

Igoryamba

Answer:

1. KNO3

2. Ca(NO3)2

3. CaCl2

4. KCl

Explanation:

In each of the neutralization reactions, the H from one of the reactant(acid) will combine with the OH from the other reactant (base) to form water while the other elements combine to give the salt as shown below:

1. HNO3 + KOH → H2O + KNO3

The salt produced is KNO3

2. 2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2H2O + Ca(NO3)2

The salt produced is Ca(NO3)2

3. 2HCl +Ca(OH)2 → 2H2O + CaCl2

The salt produced is CaCl2

4. HCl +KOH → H2O + KCl

The salt produced is KCl

titration 25.0 ml of 3.4 x 10^ -3 M of Ba(OH) Neutralize 16.6 mL of HCL solution. What is the molarity of HCL solution?

marusya05 [52]

What we are give: Concentration of base (CB) = 3.4 × $10^{-3}$
Then convert all volume in ml to L.
Volume of base (VB) 25.0ml = 0.025L
Volume of acid (VA) 16.6ml = 0.0166L
Now that we have everything we use the formula CAVA=CBVB.
Make 'CA' the subject then solve.
CA= $\frac{CBVB}{VA}$
