What is a polyprotic buffer?

1 answer:

3 0

Buffers - mixtures of conjugate acid and conjugate base at ±1 pH unit from pH = pKa. Resistant to changes in pH in response to small additions of H+ or OH-. ... Polyprotic acids - dissociation of each H+ can be treated separately if the pKa values are different

Which type of carbon fixation stores carbon dioxide in acid form?. a. C3. b. C4. c. CAM. d. all of the above

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer is: c) CAM.

CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) is a carbon fixation pathway.

In plants with CAM carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is stored as the malic acid malate in vacuoles at night.

During the daytime, the malic acid is transported to chloroplasts where it is converted back to carbon dioxide, which is then used during photosynthesis.

Malic acid is an organic dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C₄H₆O₅.

what modifications to either or both of the half-cell reactions would kim need to make if she wanted to use them to produce equa

kompoz [17]

We have to add the both half cell equations and eliminate the number of electrons lost/gained.

<h3>What modification must Kim make to the equations?</h3>

The term redox reaction is a type of reaction that occurs when an electron is lost or gained in a reaction system. We can see that in this reaction, zinc looses two electron which are gained by copper.

If we want to obtain the equation 4.9 which is the overall equation of the redox reaction from the various half cell equations then we have to add the both half cell equations and eliminate the number of electrons lost/gained.

A chemist must prepare of sodium hydroxide solution with a pH of at . He will do this in three steps: Fill a volumetric flask ab

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

0.0400 g for the example given below.

Explanation:

pH value is not provided, so we'll solve this problem in a general case and then we will use an example to justify it.

By definition, $pH = -log[H_3O^+]$ .
NaOH is a strong base, as it's a hydroxide formed with a group 1A metal, so it dissociates fully in water by the equation: $NaOH (aq)\rightarrow Na^+ (aq) + OH^- (aq)$ .
From the equation above, using stoichiometry we can tell that the molarity of hydroxide is equal to the molarity of NaOH: $[NaOH] = [OH^-]$ .
Concentration of hydroxide is then equal to the ratio of moles of NaOH and the volume of the given solution. Moles themselves are equal to mass over molar mass, so we obtain: $[OH^-] = [NaOH] = \frac{n_{NaOH}}{V} = \frac{m_{NaOH}}{M_{NaOH}V}$ .
We also know that $pOH = 14.00 - pH = -log[NaOH]$ . Take the antilog of both sides: $10^{-pOH} = 10^{pH - 14.00} = [NaOH] = \frac{m_{NaOH}}{M_{NaOH}V}$ .
Solve for the mass of NaOH: $m_{NaOH} = 10^{pH - 14.00}\cdot M_{NaOH}\cdot V$ .

Now, let's say that pH is given as 12.00 and we use a 100-ml volumetric flask. Then we would obtain:

$m_{NaOH} = 10^{12.00 - 14.00}\cdot 39.997 g/mol\cdot 0.100 L = 0.0400 g$
