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

when a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt, why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?
valentina_108 [34]
In physics, there is a rule that the heat always travels from the hotter object to the cooler object. In this case, as the iron is hotter than the shirt, the heat will travel from the iron to the shirt.

Enter the appropriate symbol for an isotope of phosphorus-32 corresponding to the isotope notation AZX. Express your answer as a
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

^{32}_{15}P

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

However, when we talk about the atomic number of the ion, it is not equal to the number of electrons as electron can be gained or loosed.

This is why, more appropriately, the number of the protons which are present in the nucleus of the atom is called the atomic number.

Thus, atomic number of phosphorus = 15

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Given, Mass number = 32

Thus, the symbol of the isotope is:-

^{32}_{15}P

What is an easy way to measure the volume of an irregular shaped object?
pickupchik [31]

Answer: Water displacement

Explanation:

When you put an irregularly shaped object in a graduated cylinder, the water level rises. Subtract the original number of ml from the number of ml it was displaced, and you get its volume.
