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

lianna [129]

The net force is the sum of all of the forces that cancelled out to zero. Hence, option D is correct.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

The pushes or pulls on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity.

The net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object. Force is a vector quantity.

Two forces of equal magnitude when acting on an object in opposite directions will cancel out each other.

As a result net force is equal to 0. The word net here shows the total force acting on the object.

Hence, option D is correct.

A gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process at 400 K during which the change in entropy is −0.3 kJ/K
Karolina [17]

Answer:

W = -120 KJ

Explanation:

Since the piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process, then the temperature is constant.

Thus; T1 = T2 = 400K

change in entropy; ΔS = −0.3 kJ/K

Formula for change in entropy is written as;

ΔS = Q/T

Where Q is amount of heat transferred.

Thus;

Q = ΔS × T

Q = -0.3 × 400

Q = -120 KJ

From the first law of thermodynamics, we can find the workdone from;

Q = ΔU + W

Where;

ΔU is Change in the internal energy

W = Work done

Now, since it's an ideal gas model, the change in internal energy is expressed as;

ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT

Where;

m is mass

C_v is heat capacity at constant volume

ΔT is change in temperature

Now, since it's an isothermal process where temperature is constant, then;

ΔT = T2 - T1 = 0

Thus;

ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT = 0

ΔU = 0

From earlier;

Q = ΔU + W

Thus;

-120 = 0+ W

W = -120 KJ
