Chemistry

Levart [38]3 years ago
6 0
A mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid) is called a buffer solution, or a buffer. Buffer solutions resist a change in pH when small amounts of a strong acid or a strong base are added . A solution of acetic acid and sodium acetate (CH3COOH + CH3COONa) is an example of a buffer that consists of a weak acid and its salt. An example of a buffer that consists of a weak base and its salt is a solution of ammonia and ammonium chloride (NH3(aq) + NH4Cl(aq)).

What is the concentration of nitrate ion in a 425 mL solution containing 32.0 g of Mg(NO3)2 (M = 148.3)?
Brums [2.3K]
<span>There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. Calculations are as follows:

Molarity of NO3 ion = 32.0 g Mg(NO3)2 ( 1 mol / 148.3 g ) ( 2 mol NO3 / 1 mol Mg(NO3)2) / .425 L
MOlarity of NO3 ion = 1.02 M </span><span>
