Interpretation:
For the given reaction under given conditions the balanced equation, conjugate acid-base pair and the direction of equilibrium should be identified.
Concept introduction:
: If a species loses a proton then it is considered as
Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.
Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base
: If a species receives one proton, then it is considered as
Strong Base: Bases that has strong attraction towards protons and accepts readily. Strong base forms weaker conjugated acid.
Weak Base: Bases that has little affinity towards protons. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
Equilibrium: A state of a
The principle says that when a disturbance is given to equilibrium of a chemical reaction, the equilibrium will respond by shifting to the direction at which the effect of disturbance is nullified
Balanced Chemical Reaction: On accordance with law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction, total masses of reactants and products must be equal.

- The enzyme urease is widely used for determining urea concentration in blood. The Michaelis constant for urease at room temperature is 2.0 mM and k2 = 2.8 × 104 s-1 at pH = 7.5. Based on the kinetic experiment, when 0.34 mM urease was used, the initial rate of the reaction was determined to be 3.49 M/sec. What is the concentration of urea in blood in unit of mM? Please keep your answer to two decimal place. Please convert all concentration unit to mM in calculation.arrow_forwardPotentiometric titration curve is given below, which is obtained during the potentiometric titration between strong base KOH (0.2 M) with strong acid HI, label the point in the curve from the following options. If more than one points are present than write as x, y(means separate by using comma) a)The point where pH is because of excess OH - ions. b) The point where pH is only because of HI in water. c)The point where [HI]= [I] in water. d)The point where pH=pka e) The point where all HI is neutralized. f) The point where pH corresponds to solution of [I- ] in water. 14 13 12 11 10 9 pH 6.
