Answer:
pH = 5.54
Explanation:
The pH of a buffer solution is given by the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach (H-H) equation</em>:
- pH = pKa + log
![\frac{[CH_3COO^-]}{[CH_3COOH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_3COO%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_3COOH%5D%7D)
For acetic acid, pKa = 4.75.
We <u>calculate the original number of moles for acetic acid and acetate</u>, using the <em>given concentrations and volume</em>:
- CH₃COO⁻ ⇒ 0.377 M * 0.250 L = 0.0942 mol CH₃COO⁻
- CH₃COOH ⇒ 0.345 M * 0.250 L = 0.0862 mol CH₃COOH
The number of CH₃COO⁻ moles will increase with the added moles of KOH while the number of CH₃COOH moles will decrease by the same amount.
Now we use the H-H equation to <u>calculate the new pH</u>, by using the <em>new concentrations</em>:
- pH = 4.75 + log
= 5.54
Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.
The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.
The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.
Answer: gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force
Explanation:
According to the postulates of kinetic molecular theory:
1. The pressure exerted by a gas in a container results from collisions between the gas molecules and the container walls.
2. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas.
When the temperature is increased, so the average kinetic energy and the rms speed also increase. This means that the gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force because they are all moving faster. This increase the pressure.
