Answer:
a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution.
b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.
Explanation:
<em>Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer?</em>
a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. TRUE. The conjugate base neutralizes the excess of hydrogen protons.
b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE.
c. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. FALSE. This is a basic buffer solution.
d. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. FALSE. The weak acid will react with the hydroxyl ions from the added base.
e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. TRUE. These hydrogen protons will form water.
f. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. FALSE. It will accept hydrogen protons.
Out of the options, the best indicator is a color change since it is the only one that can't really be blamed on a physical change. you will eventually notice that during qualitative labs and some quantitative labs, usually the thing that you are looking for is either color change or the production of a precipitate to indicate the presence of a chemical reaction
Let us check each statement one by one
a) Sb has a lower ionization energy but a higher electronegativity than I. : As per values given : Definitely Sb has lower ionization energy however the electronegativity of Sb is lower than that of iodine
b) Sb has a higher ionization energy but a lower electronegativity than I. FAlse:
Sb has lower ionization energy than I
c) Sb has a lower ionization energy and a lower electronegativity than I. True
d) Sb has a higher ionization energy and a higher electronegativity than I. False
Answer:
1s22s22p6<u>3s23p4</u>
Explanation:
Sulfur is located in the p block and has 6 valence electrons (the 2 exponent on the 3s and the 4 exponent on the 3p add up to 6)
Answer is: c) CAM.
CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) is a carbon fixation pathway.
In plants with CAM carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is stored as the malic acid malate in vacuoles at night.
During the daytime, the malic acid is transported to chloroplasts where it is converted back to carbon dioxide, which is then used during photosynthesis.
Malic acid is an organic dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C₄H₆O₅.
