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

Chemistry
1 answer:

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!

4. Describe the movement of the water molecules at cold temperatures.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Point out to students that molecules of hot water are moving faster and are slightly further apart. The molecules of cold water are moving slower and are a little closer together. If students do not notice a difference, move the slider all the way to the left again and then quickly to the right.

2. How do molecules move in cold water?

Compare the speed of molecules in hot water compared to molecules in cold water? Water molecules move faster in hot water and slower in cold water. water molecules in cold, room temperature, and hot water. most of the liquid.

The four lines observed in the visible emission spectrum of hydrogen tell us that: a. We could observe more lines if we had a st
Aliun [14]

Answer:

c. Only certain energies are allowed for the electron in a hydrogen atom

Explanation:

Emission spectrum are produced when the excited electron in a atom release the energy in the form of photons to come to ground state. These photons are of different wavelengths depending on the excitation state of emitting electron or transition of electron. These electromagnetic radiation are observed through prism to produce the spectrum.

As the name indicates this spectrum is produced by emission of energy. Although the electron can be excited by different methods such as by heating but the key point is that electrons in hydrogen atom will emit the photons of same energy which they absorb and each electron can absorb only certain type of energy. So four lines were observed in the visible spectrum of hydrogen because only certain energies are observed for hydrogen atom.

Which element has Atoms with the strongest association for electrons in A chemical bond
Marat540 [252]

The most electronegative element will have atoms with strongest association for electrons. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons and form bonds with electrons. . In the periodic table the left hand side favors the loss of electrons because less energy is required to lose an electron than to gain an electron. On the other han, the right hand side favors gaining electrons since less energy is required than when losing electrons.

Henceforth, from left to right in the periodic table the tendency to gain electrons increases. In contrast, going down a group there is decreased association for electrons, because atomic radius increases which suggests that valence electrons are further away from the nucleus.This makes fluoride the ion with strongest association of electrons. The noble gases have a complete shell so cannot attract electrons to themselves, which means they have no electronegativity.
