When working with non-linear functions, the average rate of change is not constant.
When working with non-linear functions, the average rate of change is not constant.
Explanation:
When working with linear functions, average rate of change is constant.
Answer:The ratio of the concentrations of 
and 
when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69
Explanation:
The dissociation constant for formic acid = 
Concentration of HA= 0.5 mM
Concentration of = 0.1 mM
pH = 6.16
First we have to calculate the value of 
.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[A^-}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
![6.16=pK_a+\log (\frac{[0.1]}{0.5})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6.16%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%28%5Cfrac%7B%5B0.1%5D%7D%7B0.5%7D%29)
To calculate the ratio of the concentrations of and when the buffer has a pH of 7.02.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![7.02=6.86+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7.02%3D6.86%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
![\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1.44](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%3D1.44)
![\frac{[HA]}{[A^-]}=0.69](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%7D%3D0.69)
Thus the ratio of the concentrations of and when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69
The best answer is B.
If a person is predisposed to a particular disease, they are most likely to catch that disease due to heredity. This is called genetic predisposition.
Genetic predisposition sometimes also called genetic susceptibility, is an increased likelihood of developing a particular disease based on person's genetic makeup.
Genetic predisposition results from some specific genetic variations that are often inherited from parents. These genetic changes contribute to the development of a disease but do not cause it. Some predisposed people will never get the disease while others with same predisposition will get it, even within the same family.
