Formic acid, Sodium formiate will generate a buffer solution with pH around 3. 5.

It must consider the acid whose pKa = pH in order to choose the base or acid that can produce a buffer solution with such a pH of about 3.5.

However, it also need to consider buffer capacity, which is a factor that can alter the pH of a solution by one unit in a liter.

The connection between the components' concentrations and their concentrations themselves affects buffer capacity in addition to their individual concentrations.

Therefore, Formic acid, Sodium formiate will generate a buffer solution with pH around 3. 5.

True. Coastal regions are affected if it is warm currents over the ocean it make for a higher temperature over the land, if it's a colder current over the ocean it makes for temperatures to drop over land. This happens when the wind blows in from the sea.

why was the mass lost when the reaction was done in the normal setup but stayed the same when it was done in the gas collection

german

<h2>Answer : Law of conservation of mass</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

The law of conservation of mass states that in any reaction mass is neither created nor lost it has to remain constant in a system.

In this case, when the reaction setup was done in normal way the mass was lost in surrounding was not considered nor being calculated; whereas when the reaction was studied in a closed system where the gas was collected after the reaction the mass changes was noted down which helped to prove the point of law of conservation of mass and energy.

One can consider an example of soda can where the carbonated drink contains pressurized carbon dioxide gas. when opened the gas bubbles gets lost into the surroundings and we don't measure the mass changes. Instead if the soda can was opened in such a way where the gas evolved was measured then the mass changed would remain the same.

Given the formula representing a compound: what is a chemical name of this compound? 2-pentene 2-pentyne 3-pentene 3-pentyne

Aleks [24]

The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below.
..........................................................................................................................

Correct Answer: <em>Option 1) 2-pentene</em>

Reason:
Following are the IUPAC rules for naming the compound
1) Select the longest carbon chain. In present case longest carbon chain has 5 carbon atom. Hence, it is a pentane derivative.
2) In case of alkene, replace 'e' of alkane by 'ene'
3) Give lowest number to function group. In present case, it is double bond.

Applying above rules, the IUPAC name of compound is 2-pentene
