Calculate the pH of a buffer solution prepared by mixing 75.0 mL of 1.00 M lactic acid and 25.0 mL of 0.50 M sodium lactate.

From the calculations, the pH of the buffer is 3.1.

<h3>What is the pH of the buffer solution?</h3>

The  Henderson-Hasselbach equation comes in handy when we deal with the pH of a buffer solution. From that equation;

pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]

Amount of the salt = 25/1000 *  0.50 M = 0.0125 moles

Amount of the acid = 75/1000 *  1.00 M = 0.075 moles

Total volume = ( 25 + 75)/1000 = 0.1 L

Molarity of salt = 0.0125 moles/0.1 L = 0.125 M

Molarity of the acid = 0.075 moles/0.1 L = 0.75 M

Given that the pKa of lactic acid is 3.86

pH = 3.86 + log( 0.125/0.75)

pH = 3.1

Why do atoms of nonmetals form anions? Support your answer with an example.
Papessa [141]
Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.

The volume of a gas is reduced from 4 L to 0.5 L while the temperature is held constant. How does the gas pressure change?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

It increases by a factor of eight

Explanation:

When temperature is held constant, gas pressure changes according the volume, in undirectly proportion.

Volume increases →  Pressure decreases

Volume decreases → Pressure increases

As volume gas, was reducted from 4L to 0.5L, it was reduced by 1/8, so the pressure gas was increased by a factor of eight.

<span>The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale, while the Celsius scale is not. When you convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you add 273 degrees to the temperature. However, when you calculate a temperature change, you get the same number, whether you use the Celsius or the Kelvin scale.</span>

trapecia [35]

Answer:carbon-14 levels in the atmosphere

Explanation:

When carrying out radiocarbon dating, the level of carbon-14 in a sample is compared with the level of carbon 14 in the atmosphere because, objects exchange carbon-14 with the atmosphere.

Comparison of the activities of carbon-14 in the atmosphere and in the sample gives the age of the sample since the half-life of carbon-14 is a constant.
