Devon’s laboratory is out of material to make phosphate buffer. He is considering using sulfate to make a buffer instead. The pk

a values for the two hydrogens in H2SO4 are -10 and 2.
Will this approach work for making a buffer effective near a pH of 7?
O yes
O not enough information to answer
O no

Answer:

Is not possible to make a buffer near of 7.

Optimal pH for sulfate‑based buffers is 2.

Explanation:

The dissociations of H₂SO₄ are:

H₂SO₄ ⇄ H⁺ + HSO₄⁻ pka₁ = -10

HSO₄⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + SO₄²⁻ pka₂ = 2.

The buffering capacity is pka±1. That means that for H₂SO₄ the buffering capacity is in pH's between <em>-11 and -9 and between 1 and 3</em>, having in mind that pH's<0 are not useful. For that reason, <em>is not possible to make a buffer near of 7.</em>

The optimal pH for sulfate‑based buffers is when pka=pH, that means that optimal pH is <em>2.</em>

n Part B, suppose the tablet was mostly dissolved when some of your solution splashed out of the beaker as CO2 continued to evol
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The perceived mass of CO2 would not be affected in large quantities because the splash constitutes small particles of water with sodium bicarbonate that is still reacting. The final calculated mass of sodium bicarbonate in the tablet would be artificially low.

Explanation:

Effervescence is a chemical process that involves the reaction of an acid with a carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, releasing carbon dioxide through a liquid. An example is seen in carbonated beverages, in these the gas that escapes from the liquid is carbon dioxide. The bubbles that are seen are produced by the effervescence of the dissolved gas, which by itself is not visible in its dissolved form.

On the basis of your knowledge of the reaction of halogens with alkanes, decide which product you would not expect to be formed
KIM [24]

Answer:

On the basis of your knowledge of the reaction of halogens with alkanes, decide which product you would not expect to be formed in even small quantities in the bromination of ethane?

A) BrCH2CH2Br

B) CH3CH2CH2Br

C) CH3CHBr2

D) CH3CH2CH2CH3

E) BrCH2CH2CH2CH2Br

Explanation:

The reaction of ethane with bromine in presence of UV light forms mono substituted ethane at all primary and secondary carbons.

This is an example of free radical substitution.

The structure of ethane and its bromination is shown below:

Among the given options that which is not possible to form is option B) that is CH3CH2CH2Br(propyl bromide).

Remaining all other products are possisble to form on free radical substitution of ethane.

How many grams of H2O are there in 6.02 x 1023 molecules of water?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

By definition, there are 6.022×1023 such molecules, or NA such molecules in ONE mole of water. And thus in such a quantity there are NA oxygen atoms, and 2×NA hydrogen atoms...and the mass associated with this numerical quantity of water molecules is approx. 18⋅g ...
