The ratio of buffer C₂H₃O₂ /HC₂H₃O₂  must you use are1:0.199 or 10:2

the ratio of buffer C₂H₃O₂ /HC₂H₃O₂  can be calculate using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation which relates the pH to the measure of acidity pKa. The equation is given as:

pH = pKa + log ([base]/[acid]

Where,

[base] = concentration of C₂H₃O₂in molarity or moles

[acid] = concentration of HC₂H₃O₂ in molarity or moles

For the sake of easy calculation, allow us to assume that:

[base] =1

[acid] = x

Therefore using equation 1,

5.44 = 4.74 + log (1 / x)

log [base / acid] = 0.7

1 / x = 5.0118

x = 0.199

The required ratio of buffer C₂H₃O₂ /HC₂H₃O₂ is 1:0.199 or 10:2

Get a magnet in a bag (inside out) and move the magnet all over the sand/iron and you can collect all the iron and turn the bag right side out and zip up the bag. Now you have the sand and iron separated and it will be harder to accidentally mix them later.

What mass of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, will completely react with 2.00 moles of silver nitrate, AgNO3?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

34g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

H2S + 2AgNO3 —> 2HNO3 + Ag2S

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2S required to react with 2 moles of AgNO3.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

We can see that 1 mole of H2S is required to react completely with 2 moles of AgNO3.

Finally, we shall convert 1 mole of H2S to grams. This is shown below:

Number of mole H2S = 1 mole

Molar mass of H2S = (2x1) + 32 = 34g/mol

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of H2S = 1 x 34

Mass of H2S = 34g

Therefore, 34g of H2S is needed to react with 2 moles of AgNO3.
