    PH, Buffers, and Dilution question

    I understand the henderson-hasselbalch equation, and how the pH of a solution depends on the ratio of acid to its conjugate base. However, I don't understand how this concept can be related to solutions that are extremely diluted. For example, let's say you have 0.00001M acid+c.base...

    Net Gain in Roulette Betting - Expectation & Standard Deviation

    Nevermind, I got it using binomial distribution. The formula I was using before was for when you linearly transform by multiplying by 400, not when you repeat 400 times. Thanks

    Net Gain in Roulette Betting - Expectation & Standard Deviation

    What I did was the mean is: 400*[(3/7)(10)+(4/7)(-10)] = -571 Now, for standard deviation, it should be: (For a single turn) variation = sigma^2=[10-(-1.428)]^2*(3/7)+[-10-(-1.428)]^2*(4/7) So, sigma_new² (after 400 turns) SHOULD = b^2*sigma^2...

    Net Gain in Roulette Betting - Expectation & Standard Deviation

    30) A special roulette wheel has seven equally likely outcomes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. If you bet that an odd number comes up, you win or lose $10 according to whether or not that event occurs. If X denotes your ‘net’ gain, X=10 if we see 1, 3, or 5, and X = -10 otherwise. Suppose that you play...

    What is the Role of Chlorine in KCl Injection Mechanism?

    Ok so I know with the injection of potassium chloride, the potassium in the extracellular fluid works to inhibit any repolarization, by increasing the amount of K in the extracellular fluid (hence not allowing EPSPs to reach threshold and trigger Na channels for an action potential), however...

    Is UofT's EngSci the Best Engineering Program in Canada?

    :-p I am going into 2nd year physiology and biochemistry. But that's not stopping me from coming to frosh and stealing some helmets! Professor Lam turned me off with his Lam-math, not calculus, so I vowed to stay away from math forever more haha. Too bad physics needs the higher level math or...
