Why are buffer solutions used to calibrate the pH meters rather than dilute solutions of acids and bases of known concentration?

Agas mixture with a total pressure of 745 mmhg contains each of the following gases at the indicated partial pressures: co2, 245 mmhg ; ar, 119 mmhg ; and o2, 163 mmhg . the mixture also contains helium gas. part a what is the partial pressure of the helium gas? phe p h e = nothing mmhg request answer part b what mass of helium gas is present in a 10.2-l sample of this mixture at 283 k ? m m = nothing g request answer

This drawing shows a human body system. what is the primary function of this body system?

For a research project, a student decided to test the effect of the lead(ii) ion (pb2+) on the ability of salmon eggs to hatch. this ion was obtainable from the water‐soluble salt, lead(ii) nitrate, which the student decided to make by the following reaction. pbo(s) + 2 hno3(aq) → pb(no3)2(aq) + h2o losses of product for various reasons were expected, and a yield of 86.0% was expected. in order to have 5.00 g of product at this yield, how many grams of pbo should be reacted? (assume that sufficient nitric acid, hno3, would be used.)
