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?

Me i dont know what to do! the table compares the number of electrons in two unknown neutral atoms. comparison of electrons atom number of electrons a 10 d 11 use this information to determine the number of valence electrons in the atoms. which of the following correctly compares the stability of the two atoms? both are unreactive. both are highly reactive. a is unreactive and d is reactive. a is reactive and d is unreactive.
