Data analysis If we call each step on the x-axis one volume of base, how many volumes of base must be added to change the pH from 4 to 6?

Expert Solution & Answer

Summary Introduction

To determine: The volumes of the base need to add on the x-axis to change the pH from 4 to 6.

Introduction: Buffer solution is an aqueous solution that contains a solution of a weak acid and connected base. All living cells and fluid present in the multicellular organism contain a neutral pH.

Explanation of Solution

The basicity of the solution depends upon the ion concentration of H+ ions and OH- ions. Every basic solution has a pH value above 7. The range of basic solution in pH scale lies above 7 till 14. A basic solution is required to neutralize the acid present in the solution that helps to increase the pH. Every step on the x-axis consisting of one volume of base. Therefore, the pH change from 4 to 6 on the x-axis is required two-volume of the base.

Which of the following statements about hydration is true? Absence of thirst is a reliable indication that an individual is adequately hydrated. All of these statements are true. Although a popular way to monitor hydration status, weighing yourself before and after intensive physical activity is not a reliable method to monitor hydration.

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type.  From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters.  The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results:   Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8   Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes. Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?
