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

Chemistry

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!

What are the relationships between temperature and viscosity of water?
iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

Both cohesion and molecular interchange contribute to liquid viscosity. The impact of increasing the temperature of a liquid is to reduce the cohesive forces while simultaneously increasing the rate of molecular interchange. The former effect causes a decrease in the shear stress while the latter causes it to increase.

temperature?

The viscosity of liquids decreases rapidly with an increase in temperature, and the viscosity of gases increases with an increase in temperature. Thus, upon heating, liquids flow more easily, whereas gases flow more sluggishly.

Answer:

The awnser is D

Explanation:

Since the black pieces absorb light better than white pieces, the white pieces will reflect light better. But since color doesn't affect sound, the sound waves are reflected the same.

2) what is the mass of 6.02 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?
zzz [600]
Data:
Arsenic Molar Mass = 74,9216 ≈ 75 u (<span>atomic mass unit)</span>

Solving:

1 mole of arsenic → 75g ------------ 6,02*10²³ molecules
..................................X -------------- 1 molecule

6,02*10²³X = 75
x = \frac{75}{6,02*10^{23}}
\boxed{x \approx 1,24*10^{24}grams}

yarga [219]

Answer:

  1. smoke
  2. marshmallow
  3. paint
  4. Body spray

Explaination:

Firstly, what are colloids?

Colloids are a mixture of two substances:

  • one of those substances are insoluble and inseparable

There are 4 types of colloids:

  • Sol- Solid in a liquid
  • Emulsion- Liquid in a liquid
  • Foam- Gas in solid/liquid
  • Aerosol- Solid/liquid in gas

So on to the answers:

  • Smoke consists of solid and gas and since the solid is being carried by the gas, it is a solid in a gas (aerosol)
  • Marshmellow consists of tiny air bubbles and sugar(solid), the air bubbles is inside the solid making it a gas in a solid (foam)
  • Body spray turns gas into liquid after spraying it through the can, making it a liquid in a gas (aerosol)
  • Paint dries up to become solid which makes it a solid is a liquid (sol)

Hope y'all understand
