Which weak acid would be best to use when preparing a buffer solution with a ph of 9.20?

Answer:

The acid with about Ka=6.31x10^{-10}.

Explanation:

Hello,

By assuming that the dissociation of a weak acid is:

H^+X^-H^++X^-

From the following equation one computes pKa as long as the concentration of the conjugate base equals the concentration of the acid for this buffered solution:

pH=pKa+Log(\frac{[Conj.Base]}{[Acid]})\\pKa=pH-Log(1)\\pKa=pH=9.2\\Ka=10^{-9.2}\\Ka=6.31x10^{-10}

So the acid will be that with a Ka=6.31x10^{-10} or close since the possible answers are not shown.

Best regards.

Answer: -

6.31 x 10⁻¹⁰

Explanation: -

The equation for buffer pH

pH = pKa + log \frac{Conjugate Base}{Acid}

If [Conjugate base] = [Acid], then preparing a buffer is best.

Then pH = pKa

pKa = - log Ka

Ka = 10^{-9.2}

= 6.31 x 10⁻¹⁰

How would I Determine the number of moles in 3.51 x 10^23 formula units of CaCl2
Andrej [43]

Answer:

by using this formula you will get it

Explanation:

number of mole = number of particles÷ Avogadro's number

n=3.51×10^23÷ 6.02×10^23

n = 0.58 moles

Consider the reaction 3CH4(g)→C3H8(g)+2H2(g).
padilas [110]

From the calculations performed, the free energy change for the reaction is 72 kJ/mol.

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>

The equilibrium constant is a value that shows the extent to which reactants have been converted to products.

Given that the equation of the reaction is;

3CH4(g)→C3H8(g)+2H2(g)

Then;

PC3H8 = 0.013 atm

PH2 =  2.3×10−2 atm

PCH4 = 41 atm

Now;

ΔG = ΔG° + RTlnQ

ΔG°reaction = ΔG°products - ΔG°reactants

ΔG°reaction = [( -23.4) +2(0)] - 3(-50.8)

ΔG°reaction = 129 kJ/mol

Q = PC3H8 * PH2^2/PCH4^3

Q = 0.013 * (2.3×10−2)^2/( 41)^3

Q = 6.877 * 10^-6/68921

Q= 9.9* 10^-11

Hence;

ΔG = 129 * 10^3  + [8.314 * 298 * (ln  9.9* 10^-11 )]

ΔG = 129 * 10^3 - 57073

ΔG = 72 kJ/mol

Kichi made a table to identify where she might find acids and bases in her house based on their common uses.
sineoko [7]

The answer is: Ammonium hydroxide would be found in the pantry because it is found in vinegar.

Ammonim hydroxide (NH₄OH) is base and vinegar is acid.

pH of ammonium hydroxide is greater than 7 and vinegar has pH less than 7.

Ammonium hydroxide is a smelling, colorless liquid.

It is used as cleaning product, disinfectants and stain treaters.

Household ammonia contains 5-10% ammonium hydroxide.

A 4.86-gram sample of calcium reacted completely with oxygen to form 6.80 grams of calcium oxide. This reaction is represented b
sesenic [268]
The number of mole of Ca reacted is:
4.86 g Ca/ (40.08 g/mol Ca)= 0.121 mol Ca

Because Ca reacted completely with oxygen and there is 2 mol Ca, there is 1 mol O2 reacted.

Total mass of oxygen that reacted is:
0.121 mol Ca* (1mol O2/ 2 mol Ca)* (32 g O2/ 1 mol O2)= 1.94 g O2 reacted.

Hope this would help~
