A buffer is prepared by mixing 204.0 mL of 0.452 mol/L hydrochloric acid (HCI) and 500.0 mL of 0.400 mol/L sodium acetate (NaCHC

O2, NaAc). What is the pH of the above buffer solution?

Answer:

pH of buffer is 4.81

Explanation:

The reaction between HCl and sodium acetate will product acetic acid. The presence of weak acid (acetic acid) and its salt will make a buffer.

The reaction will be:

CH_{3}COONa + HCl --> CH_{3}COOH + NaCl

Thus one mole each of HCl and acetate will give one mole of acetic acid.

The moles of HCl present = molarity X volume = 0.452 X 0.204 =0.092

moles of acetic acid formed on reaction of HCl with acetate = 0.092

Initial moles of sodium acetate present = molarity X volume = 0.4X0.5 =0.2

moles of sodium acetate left =0.108 mol

the pKa of acetic acid =4.74

The pH of buffer is calculated using Henderson Hassalbalch's equation :

pH = pKa + log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

pH = 4.74 +log\frac{0.108}{0.092} =4.81

What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.

Which of the following concerning the effects of temperature and pressure on solubility is/are correct?
just olya [345]

Answer:

None of the options are correct.

Explanation:

1) when the temperature of the solution is increased the solubility of the gas in the liquid decreases , hence option 1 is incorrect.

2)The heat released by the dissolution of an ionic compound in water is heat of hydration of the compound and is independent of the initial temperature of the solution.

3) The solubility of a liquid in water is not affected significantly by the pressure changes in the system as gases only have a significant cahne in solubility with change in pressure.
