Three friends were walking along a beach by the ocean. They looked closely at the sand and noticed it was made up of tiny particles of rock. They had different ideas about where the sand came from. Molly: “I think the sand came from distant mountains and landforms.”

Fidel: “I think the sand came from undersea mountains and rocks on the ocean floor.”

Lynn: “I think the sand has always been sand on the beach.”

Which friend do you agree with and why? Explain how the sand formed and ended up on the beach.

Enough of a monoprotic weak acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0172 m solution. if the ph of the resulting solution is 2.39 at 20 °c, determine the pka for the acid.

Which statement describes how phase changes can be diagrammed as a substance is heated? the phase is on the y-axis and the temperature is on the x-axis. the temperature is on the y-axis and the phase is on the x-axis. the time is on the y-axis and the temperature is on the x-axis. the temperature is on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis.

You mix the pks of succinic acid are 4.21 and 5.64. how many gramsa graduate student at sdsu wants to measure the activity of a particular enzyme at ph 4.0. to buffer her reaction, she will use a buffer system based on one of the acids listed below, which acid is most appropriate for the experiment? of monosodium succinate (fw = 140 g/mol) and disodium succinate (fw = 162 g/mol) must be added to 1 l of water to produce a solution with a ph 5.28 and a total solute concentration of 100 mm? (assume the total volume remains 1 liter, answer in grams monosodium succinate, grams disodium succinate, respectively.) volumes of 0.05 m nah2po4 and 0.05 m na2hpo4 (pk's for phosphoric acid are 2.15, 6.82 and 12.38). which of the following best describes the resulting solution?
