A buffer solution contains an equivalent amount of acid and base. The pH of the solution with an acid dissociation constant (pKa) value of 3.75 is 3.82.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

The amount of hydrogen or the proton ion in the solution is expressed by the pH. It is given by the sum of pKa and the log of the concentration of acid and bases.

Given,

Concentration of salt [HCOO⁻] = 0.24 M

Concentration of acid [HCOOH] = 0.20 M

The acid dissociation constant (pKa) = 3.75

pH is calculated from the Hendersons equation as,

pH = pKa + log [salt] ÷ [acid]

pH = 3.75 + log [0.24] ÷ [0.20]

= 3.75 + log (1.2)

= 3.75 + 0.079

= 3.82

Therefore, 3.82 is the pH of the buffer.

Why is it better to measure the percent change in mass<br> ratherthan just using the change in mass?
never [62]

Answer: The result is presented in proportion which gives a clearer understanding and accurate result.

Explanation: Percentage change in mass is the proportion of the initial mass of a substance changed after sometime. The results is presented as a percentage making it more accurate and can help to give future reference to weight calculations.

Change is Mass is the mass of a substance left after sometime mostly given in grams. It is not as accurate as percentage change in mass. It is generally better to show results in percentage change in mass as it gives a better understanding of what mass of a substance was lost after a given period or after application of energy like Heat or increased temperature.

What is the best description of what Becquerel observed in his experiment?
myrzilka [38]

The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.

Those high-energy particles are alpha particles , beta particles , gamma radiation.

For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.

Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.

Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.

Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.

The uranium salt was emitting radiation.

Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.

Limit sodium intake to less than ____________ per day. Limit saturated fat intake to less than ____________ of daily kilocalorie
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Limit sodium intake to less than <em><u>2,300mg</u></em> per day. Limit saturated fat intake to less than <em><u>10% </u></em>of daily kilocalories. Limit intake of added sugars to less than<em><u> 5% </u></em>of daily kilocalories. Limit intake of alcohol to less than <em><u>3 drinks </u></em>per day for men or less than <em><u>2 drinks</u></em> per day for women.

Explanation:

The human body has been designed such that there are dietary requirements and benefits these intakes give the body. However, excess consumption of certain foods, could be far more detrimental both on the short and long run.

Sodium is majorly consumed in the form of salt (Sodium chloride). When eaten in the right quantity, it serves as an electrolyte which maintains fluid balance in the body however, when taken in excess, it pulls too much fluid, leading to high blood pressure. The recommended salt intake therefore, is less than 2,300mg daily.

Saturated fat when consumed, is a good source for the body to convert diet to energy, keeping the blood sugar levels constant. Lard, fatty meats are examples of saturated fat. However, when consumed in large amounts, saturated fats can cause cholesterol build up in blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease. Its intake should therefore be limited to less than 10% of daily kilocalories.

Added sugars are sources of energy to the body however, when taken in large amounts, could impede normal metabolism in the body. Added sugars should be restricted to less than 5% of daily kilocalories in diet.

Alcohol intake such as in wine, when done in moderation, has been shown to reduce the risk of heart diseases. However, when taken in excess, tolerance builds and exposes the body to the risk of conditions such as liver disease, alcohol use disorder.

Answer:

To help determine what type of rock it is

Explanation:

Geologists can use information such as color, hardness, grain size, texture and other aspects of the rock to figure out the classification of a rock. for example, a light blue rock with no visible grain that is translucent and has a hardness of 9 is most likely going to be a saphire. hope this helps!!!!

Can someone help.? thanks :)​

Answer:

  • <u>1. Equation: 2x  + 3 = 9x - 11</u>

<u></u>

  • <u>2. Each row has 2 chairs</u>

Explanation:

The variable x represents the number of chairs in each row.

<u />

<u>1. She can form 2 rows of a given length with 3 chairs left over.</u>

Thus, she has:

number of rows  number of chairs in      chairs             number of chairs

                             each row                       left over         she has

     2                        x                                    3                      2x + 3

<u>2.  She can form 9 rows of the same length if she gets 11 more chairs.</u>

That means that she is short in 11 chairs to have 9x chairs, or that she has 11 less chairs than 9x chairs. Then she has:

  • 9x - 11

<u>3. Equation:</u>

Then, number of chairs she has is 2x + 3 and, also, 9x - 11, which allows to set the equation:

  • 2x + 3 = 9x  -11

<u>4. Solve the equation:</u>

  • 9x - 2x = 3 + 11
  • 7x = 14
  • x = 2

Therefore, each row has 2 chairs, and she has 2x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 chairs.
