Answer:

a) pH = 4.68 (more effective)

b) pH =4.44.

Explanation:

The pH of buffer solution is obtained by Henderson Hassalbalch's equation.

The equation is:

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

a) pKa of acetic acid = 4.74

[salt] = [CH₃COONa] = 1.4 M

[acid] = [CH₃COOH] = 1.6 M

pH = 4.74 + log \frac{1.4}{1.6}= 4.68

This is more effective as there is very less difference in the concentration of salt and acid.

b) pKa of acetic acid = 4.74

[salt] = [CH₃COONa] = 0.1 M

[acid] = [CH₃COOH] = 0.2 M

pH = 4.74 + log \frac{0.1}{0.2}= 4.44

Why do you use the same amount of water for each shape of ice?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Ice is a solid form of liquid. Water simply expands when it freezes.

The same amount of water for each shape of ice because the melting  rate of ice depends on the surface area of each shape. So the same amount of water or volume with a large surface area will remain frozen for longer time.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity or speed of the object. Since all of the balls have the same mass, the one with the highest speed or velocity will have the highest kinetic energy. Hope this helps!

Which statement describes the water gas particles in the air above the cup compared with the water liquid
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The particles move faster and are far apart

Explanation:

A substance may exist in three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas.

In the solid state, there is very strong intermolecular forces between the particles of the substance. They can only vibrate or rotate about their mean positions but can not translate.

In the liquid state, the particles of the substance have a greater degree of freedom than in the solid. The magnitude of intermolecular forces is lower than in solids, the molecules can move at low speeds.

In a gas, the molecules are separated from each other with negligible intermolecular interaction hence they move at very high speed.

Therefore, for the water gas particles in the air above the cup; the particles move faster and are far apart.
