Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The ionic species of ammonia are NH+4 , NH+4 and NH+3.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Concept

Acids: Any hydrogen-containing substance that can donate a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance is referred to as an acid.

02

Indicate the ionic species of ammonia

The ionic species of ammonia that predominates at,

pH 4: NH+4

pH 8: NH+4

pH 11: NH+3

Therefore, the values NH+4 , NH+4 and NH+3. .

Question: Describe what happens when a dialysis bag containing pure water is suspended in a beaker of seawater. What would happen if the dialysis membrane were permeable to water but not solutes?

Question: What must a buffer solution include to resist changes in pH by adding acid or base?

Patients with kidney failure frequently develop metabolic acidosis. If such patients undergo dialysis, the dialysate includes sodium bicarbonate at a concentration higher than that of the blood. Explain why this would benefit the patient.

You need a buffer at pH7.5for use in purifying a protein at4°C . You have chosen Tris, pK8.08,ΔH°=50kJ×mol-1. You carefully make up0.01M Tris buffer, pH7.5at data-custom-editor="chemistry" 25°C, and store it in the cold to equilibrate it to the temperature of the purification. When you measure the of the temperature-equilibrated buffer it has increased to8.1 . What is the explanation for this increase? How can you avoid this problem?
