a) 2Na(s) +2H_2O(I)→ 2Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)+ H_2(g)

b) 2Ag (s) +2H^(aq) → 2 Ag^+ (aq) +H_2(g)

<h3>What are half-reactions?</h3>

The half-reaction method is a way to balance redox reactions. It involves breaking the overall equation down into an oxidation part and a reduction part.

a)

2Na(s) +2H_2O(I)→ 2Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)+ H_2(g)

E^0 cell = E^0 (reduction)  - E^0 (oxidation)

= E^0(\frac{H_2O}{H_2}, OH^-) -E^0(Na^+/Na)

= -0.83 - (-2.71) =1.88V

b)

2Ag (s) +2H^(aq) → 2 Ag^+ (aq) +H_2(g)

E^0cell= E^0(H^+/H_2) -E^0(Ag^+/Ag)

E^0cell=-0. - (0.8) =-0.8V

You need to prepare 100.0 mL of a pH 4.00 buffer solution using 0.100 M benzoic acid (p K a = 4.20 ) and 0.200 M sodium benzoate
bekas [8.4K]

Answer : The volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid  solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.

Explanation :

Let the volume of sodium benzoate (salt) be, x

So, the volume of benzoic acid  (acid) will be, (100 - x)

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

4.00=4.20+\log \left(\frac{(\frac{0.200x}{100})}{(\frac{0.100(100-x)}{100})}\right)

x = 29.0

The volume of sodium benzoate = x = 29.0 mL

The volume of benzoic acid  (acid) = (100 - x) = (100 - 29.0) = 71 mL

Thus, the volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid  solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.

Using the reagents below, list in order (by letter, no period) those necessary to transform 1-chlorobutane into 1-butyne. Note:
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:1. NaNH2 (1-Butene)

CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl --------------> CH3CH2CH=CH2 + HCl (elimination reaction)

2. Br2, CCl4

CH3CH2CH=CH2 ---------------> CH3CH2CH(Br)CH2Br (Simple addition Reaction)

3. NaNH2 (1-Butyne)

CH3CH2CH(Br)CH2Br ----------------> CH3CH2C≡CH + 2HBr

Sodamide (NaNH2) is a very strong base and generally results in Terminal Alkynes when treated with Vicinal Dihalides.

Alcoholic KOH on the other hand results in the formation of Alkynes with triple bonds in the middle of the molecule.

What is a ion and what is a isotope​
attashe74 [19]

Explanation:

an ion is an atom with a met electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons and an isotope can be in 2 forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but a different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties
