Answer:
The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.
Explanation:
The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.
Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.
Answer:
The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.
Explanation:
Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)
1s2 -> He....
2s2 -> Be....
2p6 -> Ne...
3s2 -> Mg...
3p6 -> Ar...
4s2 -> Ca.
Explanation:
Both conduction and convection are both forms of heat transfer from one place to another.
- In conduction, there must be contact between two bodies for the process to take place but in convection, the matter moves to transfer heat.
- Conduction mostly occurs in solid substances whereas convection occurs mostly in fluids.
- Heat transfer in conduction is quite slow compared to convection which is much faster.
Example of conduction is heating of iron pot when cooking
Example of convection is the refrigerating system.
