Why does a solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid act as a better buffer than does a solution?

Hello!

A solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid act as a better buffer than does a solution of a weak base alone because <span>A solution of a weak base alone has no acid present to absorb added base.</span> 

If an acid (In this case HCl) is added to a buffer or a weak base solution, the following reaction happens:

HCl + A⁻ → HA + Cl⁻

In this way, the addition of acid is neutralized by the base.

If a base is added (In this case NaOH), only a solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid can react in the following way:

NaOH + HA → NaA + H₂O

So, a solution of only a weak base can resist the addition of acids but not bases, so it isn't a good buffer. 

Have a nice day!

calculate the mols of alt gas if the volume is 0.97 liters at a temperature of 12 C and the pressure is 152 Kpa’s
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

0.062mol

Explanation:

Using ideal gas law as follows;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

Based on the information provided;

P = 152 Kpa = 152/101 = 1.50atm

V = 0.97L

n = ?

T = 12°C = 12 + 273 = 285K

Using PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = (1.5 × 0.97) ÷ (0.0821 × 285)

n = 1.455 ÷ 23.39

n = 0.062mol

Answer:

Cultural Pest Control.

Explanation:

The cultural pest control is one of the oldest methos of pest control. This form of pest control is less practiced these days since curative form of pest control methods have been invented. The cultural pest control method is a preventive method of managing pest population. This pest control method takes long days of planning and execution.

<u>In this form of pest control method, the farmer had to change the timings of his farming operations in his field. This method requires careful timing in seeding and planting. This method of pest controlling requires knowledge and skills of fields</u>.

Thus the correct answer is the third option.

10.0 g of calcium carbonate was heated. The mass of calcium oxide left was 5.6 g. Calculate the mass of
Kipish [7]

Answer:

4.4g

Explanation:

Mass of CaCO3 = 10g

Mass of CaO = 5.6g

Mass of CO2 =?

Mass of CaCO3 = Mass of CaO + Mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 = Mass of CaCO3 — Mass of CaO

Mass of CO2 = 10 — 5.6

Mass of CO2 = 4.4g

Classify each of the following reactions as either exothermic or endothermic: 2H,O(l) + heat → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)​
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

endothermic

Explanation:

It is endothermic since it absorbs heat.  If the reaction RELEASED heat (exothermic) the "+ heat" would be on the right side of the equation.
