Devon’s laboratory is out of material to make phosphate buffer. He is considering using sulfate to make a buffer instead. The pk

a values for the two hydrogens in H2SO4 are -10 and 2.

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>

Natali [406]

Answer: option C. 2 and 3.

Explanation:

1) Isotopes are atoms of a same element with different number of neutrons. That means that the isotopes of a same element have the same number of protons, since the number of protons is what identify an element.

2) For example, all the atoms of oxygen have 8 protons. But isotope oxygen-16 has 8 neutrons, while oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons.

3) In the figure there are 3 different atoms:

i) atom # 1 has 5 protons and 7 neutrons

ii) atom # 2 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons

iii) atom # 3 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

4) Hence the atoms with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons are the #2 and the # 3. So, they are the isotopes of the same element.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No.

Las propiedades físicas de los materiales y sistemas a menudo se pueden clasificar como intensivas o extensivas, según cómo cambia la propiedad cuando cambia el tamaño (o extensión) del sistema. Según la IUPAC, una cantidad intensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es independiente del tamaño del sistema, mientras que una cantidad extensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es aditiva para los subsistemas. Esto refleja las ideas matemáticas correspondientes de media y medida, respectivamente.

Una propiedad intensiva es una propiedad a granel, lo que significa que es una propiedad física local de un sistema que no depende del tamaño del sistema o de la cantidad de material en el sistema. Los ejemplos de propiedades intensivas incluyen temperatura, T; índice de refracción, n; densidad, ρ; y dureza de un objeto.

Por el contrario, propiedades extensivas como la masa, el volumen y la entropía de los sistemas son aditivas para los subsistemas porque aumentan y disminuyen a medida que crecen y se reducen, respectivamente.  

Estas dos categorías no son exhaustivas, ya que algunas propiedades, físicas no son exclusivamente intensivas ni extensivas. Por ejemplo, la impedancia eléctrica de dos subsistemas es aditiva cuando, y solo cuando, se combinan en serie; mientras que si se combinan en paralelo, la impedancia resultante es menor que la de cualquiera de los subsistemas.

¡Espero haberte ayudado!  :)

How many possible stereoisomers are there of propylene glycol, an organic compound found in clearasil acne cream, caladryl, colg
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula, but with some difference. If that difference is in the manner the atoms are distributed in the molecule, they are called structural isomers; if the difference is the way the molecule is in space, they're called space isomers (cis/trans); and there are the stereoisomers, which the molecules are images that can be overlapping.

The stereoisomers have the property to deviate the polarized light, and, when a molecule has a chiral carbon, it means that it has stereoisomers. The number of stereoisomers is 2ⁿ, where n is the number of chiral carbons.

Chiral carbon is a carbon that bonds with four different structures. So, below is represented the molecule of propylene glycol, and it has only one chiral carbon (see the blue arrow), so, it has only 2 stereoisomers.

(ii) When shale gas is burned, the hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now , we have the equation of the reaction as;

2H2S(g) + 302(g)------->2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

This equation shows that SO2 gas is produced in the process. Let us recall that this same SO2 gas is the anhydride of H2SO4. This means that it can dissolve in water to form H2SO4

So, when SO2 dissolve in rain droplets, then H2SO4 is formed thereby lowering the pH of rain water. This is acid rain.

An aluminum ion has a charge of +3, and an oxide has a charge of -2. What would be the product of a reaction between these two e
kozerog [31]

The product of a reaction between these two elements is Al_{2} O_{3}.

Explanation:

The oxidation state of an ion in a compound is equal to its charge.

The aluminum having a charge of +3 because oxidation state is +3

The oxide is having charge of -2

The product of these reactants will produce a chemical compound.

The compound formed is Al_{2} O_{3}  i.e Aluminium oxide. The compound while getting formed will share the charge and cation A+ will have the charge of anion and anion will have the charge of cation. This will result in a compound as there should be a neutral charge on the compound formed.

The <em>+</em><em>3 charge of the cation Al+ will go to anion oxide O2- and the charge of anion -2 will go with cation Al+. </em>
