Answer:

Is not possible to make a buffer near of 7.

Optimal pH for sulfate‑based buffers is 2.

Explanation:

The dissociations of H₂SO₄ are:

H₂SO₄ ⇄ H⁺ + HSO₄⁻ pka₁ = -10

HSO₄⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + SO₄²⁻ pka₂ = 2.

The buffering capacity is pka±1. That means that for H₂SO₄ the buffering capacity is in pH's between <em>-11 and -9 and between 1 and 3</em>, having in mind that pH's<0 are not useful. For that reason, <em>is not possible to make a buffer near of 7.</em>

The optimal pH for sulfate‑based buffers is when pka=pH, that means that optimal pH is <em>2.</em>

After passing through pyruvate dehydrogenase and the citric acid cycle, one mole of pyruvate will result in the formation of ___
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The answer to be filled in the respective blanks in question is

3 and 1

Explanation:

So, we know that the formation of cabon-dioxide mole and that of Adenosin-Tri-Phosphate (ATP) moles will be in the ratio of 3:1 i.e., three carbon-di-oxide moles and 1 ATP mole.

Therefore, we can say that one pyruvate mole when passed through citric acid cycle and pyruvate dehydrogenase yields carbon-di-oxide and ATP moles in the ratio 3:1

What is the volume of 43.7 g of helium at stp?
tankabanditka [31]
Answer is: volume of helium is 244.72 liters.
m(He) = 43.7 g.
n(He) = m(He) ÷ M(He).
n(He) = 43.7 g ÷ 4 g/mol.
n(He) = 10.925 mol.
V(He) = n(He) · n(He).
V(He) = 10.925 mol · 22.4 L/mol.
V(He) = 244.72 L.
Vm - molar volume at STP.
n - amount of substance.

Carbonic acid, H2CO3, has two acidic hydrogens. A solution containing an unknown concentration of carbonic acid is titrated with
stepan [7]

Answer:

1) Net ionic equation :

2H^+(aq)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

2) 0.765 M is  the molarity of the carbonic acid solution.

Explanation:

1) In aqueous carbonic acid , carbonate ions and hydrogen ion is present.:

H_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2H^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq) ..[1]

In aqueous potassium hydroxide , potassium ions and hydroxide ion is present.:

KOH(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+OH^{-}(aq) ..[2]

In aqueous potassium carbonate , potassium ions and carbonate ion is present.:

K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq) ..[3]

H_2CO_3(aq)+2KOH(aq)\rightarrow K_2CO_3(aq)+2H_2O(l)

From one:[1] ,[2] and [3]:

2H^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)+2K^+(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)+H_2O(l)

Cancelling common ions on both sides to get net ionic equation :

2H^+(aq)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

2)

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is H_2CO_3

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is KOH.

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=?\\V_1=50.0 mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=3.840 M\\V_2=20.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

M_1=\frac{1\times 3.840 M\times 20.0 mL}{2\times 50.2 mL}=0.765 M

0.765 M is  the molarity of the carbonic acid solution.

What mass of 2-bromopropane could be prepared from 25.5 g of propene? Assume a 100% yield of product.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

78.46 grams of  2-bromopropane could be prepared from 25.5 g of propene

Explanation:

C_3H_6+HBr\rightarrow C_3H_7Br

Moles of propene = \frac{25.5 g}{39 g/mol}=0.6538 mol

According to reaction, 1 mole of propene gives 1 mole of propane.

Then 0.6538 moles of bromo-propane will give:

0.6538 mol\times 120 g/mol=78.46 g

78.46 grams of  2-bromopropane could be prepared from 25.5 g of propene.

What is the identity of element q if the ion q2- contains 36 electrons? Type the correct symbol for the element in the box. For
dem82 [27]

Answer:- selenium, Se.

Explanations:- When an element gain electrons then it becomes negatively charged means it forms it's anion. Total electrons of the anion are the sum of electrons and the charge of the anion. In our problem, the element is q and it forms q^-^2 ion. The Total electrons for the anion q^-^2 = electrons of q + 2

As per the given info, there are 36 electrons in q^-^2 ion.

So, 36 = electrons of q + 2

electrons of q = 36 - 2

electrons of q = 34

q, the neutral atom has 34 electrons means it's atomic number is 34. If we check out the periodic table then the element with atomic number 34 is Selenium, Se.
