The ideal buffer's pH value is 4.74..

What is best buffer ?

The Best Buffer is a buffer that has equal amounts of the weak acid and its conjugate base. It responds well to the addition of acids and bases in order to fend off pH changes. A mixture of the weak base and its conjugate acid, or the weak acid and its conjugate base, is referred to as a buffer solution.

Here weak acid is acetic acid CH3COOH

The following equation can be used to determine a buffer's pH:

pH = pka + logconjugate baseweak acid

Now, the weak acid and its conjugate base are present in equal amounts in the optimal buffer.

Therefore,

Conjugate base = weak acid

This implies that,

pH = pka + log 1

pH = pka  + 0

pH = pka

Now, pka can be written as -log ka

The value of ka is given as 1.8 * 10-5

Therefore,

pH = -log (1.8 * 10-5)

pH = 4.74

As a result, the ideal buffer has a pH of 4.74..

The ph of the best buffer is 4.74

The given acetic acid is a weak acid

The equation of the pH of the buffer

pH = pKa + log ( conjugate base / weak acid ).

For best buffer the concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base is equal.

pH = pKa + log 1

pH = pKa + 0

pH = pKa

given Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵

pKa = - log ka

pH = -log ( 1.8 × 10⁻⁵ )

pH = 4. 74

Hence the pH of the best buffer is 4.74

28.What is the correct IUPAC name for the following compound?A)12-crown-5B)12-crown-4C)4-crown-12D)12-crown-12E)Cyclododecane te
mariarad [96]

Answer:

12-crown-4

Explanation:

We must recall that any structural moiety in organic chemistry having the R-O-R unit is an ether. If the oxygen form a ring in which they are sandwiched in between carbon atoms, the compound is known as a crown ether. The name emanates from the close resemblance of the compound to an actual crown.

If we want to name the crown ether, we first count the number of carbon atoms present and the number of oxygen atoms present. The correct name is now, total number of carbon + oxygen atoms -crown- number of oxygen atoms, in this case; 12-crown-4, hence the answer.

Grams smallest to kilograms and milligrams
Anna007 [38]
Grams is smaller than kilograms but larger than milligrams

1g = 0.001 kg
1g = 1000 mg

Grams is an SI unit for mass.

International System of Units (SI Units) are organized body of measurements for physical quantity. They are set to be the norm or global norm scaling for every physical quantity which includes kilogram, meter, second, ampere, kelvin, candela and mole. These measurements then can increase or decrease by the power of ten, multiplied or divided. As said and explained, the SI is helpful in describing objects because 
<span>1.       They give us the idea of how much matter is contained in that single substance or the current state the matter is in or how hot or cold. We measure and can quantify the quality of the specific matter.</span> <span><span>
2.       </span>SI Units are a global set of measurement hence, we can communicate with ease from western to eastern countries with these measurements without having problems in terms of portraying or displaying a set of physical quantities.</span><span> </span>
