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!

If 2.5L of solution is diluted to prepare 1.7L of a 0.8M solution, what was the original concentration?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

0.544 M

Explanation:

First find the moles in the final solution

0.8 mols/L *1.7L

1.36 mols

so there is 1.36 mols in 2.5L

concentration will be 1.36/2.5

0.544 M

Answer:

A and B are unfavorable reactions.

Explanation:

In chemical thermodynamics, an endergonic reaction  is also called a nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction. it's a chemical reaction in which the change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed.

In chemical thermodynamics, an exergonic reaction  is also called a spontaneous reaction or a favorable reaction. it's a chemical reaction in which the change in free energy is negative.

ΔG>0

If the Gibbs  free energy of the reaction is positive than the reaction will be non spontaneous .

If the Gibbs  free energy of the reaction is negative than the reaction will be spontaneous

Gibbs free energy is an energy which that can be use to convert into useful work.

ΔG=ΔH-TΔS

with ΔG= Gibbs free energy

with ΔH =  enthalpy of reaction

with T = temperature of eh reaction

ΔS = Entropy change

The reaction A: Pi+glucose⟶glucose-6-phosphate+H2O

The ΔG is positive. This is an nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction

The reaction B: Pi+fructose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-1,6-bisphosphate+H2O

The ΔG is positive. This is an nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction.

The reaction C: ATP+H2O⟶ADP+Pi

The ΔG is negative. This is a spontaneous reaction or a favorable reaction.

A and B are unfavorable reactions.
