HNO3 and NaNO3 cannot form a buffered aqueous solution from the following options.

A buffer solution (more precisely, pH buffer or hydrogen ion buffer) is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it.

Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical applications. In nature, there are many living systems that use buffering for pH regulation. For example, the bicarbonate buffering system is used to regulate the pH of bloodstream, and bicarbonate also acts as a buffer in the ocean.

Buffer solutions resist pH change because of a chemical equilibrium between the weak acid HA and its conjugate base A−:

HA ⇌ H⁺ + A⁻

What are the reference points in thermometer with Celsius scale?

kupik [55]

The most likely answer is the boiling point and freezing point of water. The Celsius scale starts at the freezing point of water (0°C) and than scaled so that 100°C fell on the boiling point of water.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Arizona was the site of a 400,000-acre wildfire in June 2002. How much carbon dioxide (CO2) was produced into the atmosphere by

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

2.97 × 10¹³ g

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the biomass the is burned. We can establish the following relations:

2.47 acre = 10,000 m²
10 kg of C occupy an area of 1 m²
50% of the biomass is burned

The biomass burned in the site of 400,000 acre is:

$400,000acre\times\frac{10,000m^{2} }{2.47acre} \times \frac{10kgC}{m^{2} } \times 50\% = 8.10 \times 10^{9} kgC$

Let's consider the combustion of carbon.

C(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g)

We can establish the following relations:

The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol
1 mole of C produces 1 mole of CO₂
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol

The mass of produced is CO₂:

$8.10 \times 10^{12}gC \times \frac{1molC}{12.01gC} \times \frac{1molCO_{2}}{1molC} \times \frac{44.01gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}} =2.97 \times 10^{13} gCO_{2}$
