- As pH decreases, a solution becomes more acidic.arrow_forwardIn biological systems, buffers are important because they facilitate changes in pH to enhance biological activities of proteins and nucleic acids. True Falsearrow_forwardSeveral chemical pollutants from a paper mill are released into the nearby environment. Compound A is rich in calcium and magnesium. Compound B binds tightly to all free polypeptides and proteins in the soil. Compound C is structurally similar to abscisic acid. Beberapa bahan pencemar kimia dari kilang kertas dilepaskan ke persekitaran yang berdekatan. Sebatian A kaya dengan kalsium dan magnesium. Sebatian B mengikat dengan ketat pada semua polipeptida dan protein bebas di dalam tanah. Sebatian C mempunyai struktur yang serupa dengan asid absisik. Based on this scenario, which compounds are most likely to harm the surrounding plants and their effects on the plants?arrow_forward

How many ml of stock solution do we need for 500 ml of our solution nutrients? (MNaCl:58.49) 2. We work with a NaOH stock solution. We have to dilute 1: 4 to obtain a 2.5% solution. Find the concentration of the stock (% and mg/ml)arrow_forward
