Explanation:

Distinguish chemical substances from mixtures

Key Points

Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components.

A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule.

A mixture is composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more chemical substances where the various components can be visually distinguished.

A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.

Various separation techniques exist in order to separate matter, including include distillation, filtration, evaporation and chromatography. Matter can be in the same phase or in two different phases for this separation to take place.

Terms

substanceA form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. It is composed of one type of atom or molecule.

elementA chemical substance that is made up of a particular kind of atom and cannot be broken down or transformed by a chemical reaction.

mixtureSomething that consists of diverse, non-bonded elements or molecules.

A buffer solution contains 0.306 M C6H5NH3Br and 0.418 M C6H5NH2 (aniline). Determine the pH change when 0.124 mol HCl is added
Ulleksa [173]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH change of the buffer is 0.30

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of basic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pOH=pK_b+\log(\frac{[\text{conjugate acid}]}{[\text{base}]})

pOH=pK_b+\log(\frac{[C_6H_5NH_3^+]}{[C_6H_5NH_2]})        .....(1)

We are given:

pK_b = negative logarithm of base dissociation constant of aniline  = 9.13

[C_6H_5NH_3^+]=0.306M

[C_6H_5NH_2]=0.418M

pOH = ?

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

pOH=9.13+\log(\frac{0.306}{0.418})\\\\pOH=8.99

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH+pOH=14\\pH_{initial}=14-8.99=5.01

To calculate the molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles hydrochloric acid solution = 0.124 mol

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of HCl}=\frac{0.124}{1L}\\\\\text{Molarity of HCl}=0.124M

The chemical reaction for aniline and HCl follows the equation:

                   C_6H_5NH_2+HCl\rightarrow C_6H_5NH_3^++Cl^-

<u>Initial:</u>           0.418        0.124           0.306

<u>Final:</u>             0.294          -                0.430

Calculating the pOH by using using equation 1:

pK_b = negative logarithm of base dissociation constant of aniline  = 9.13

[C_6H_5NH_3^+]=0.430M

[C_6H_5NH_2]=0.294M

pOH = ?

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

pOH=9.13+\log(\frac{0.430}{0.294})\\\\pOH=9.29

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH+pOH=14\\pH_{final}=14-9.29=4.71

Calculating the pH change of the solution:

\Delta pH=pH_{initial}-pH_{final}\\\\\Delta pH=5.01-4.71=0.30

Hence, the pH change of the buffer is 0.30

Which factor can increase a population rate
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Factors that cause population growth include increased food production, improved health care services, immigration and high birth rate. These factors have led to overpopulation, which has more negative effects than positive impacts. The world population today is over 7 billion and the number is increasing with each passing year.

Hope this helps!
