How does a buffer resist change in ph upon addition of a strong acid?

1 answer:

8 0

Any buffer exists in this equilibrium

HA <=> $H^+ + A^-$
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base ( $A^-$ )

When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base ( $A^-$ ) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.

How to identify coplanar molecule?

lozanna [386]

See if the carbon atoms are SP2 or Sp they the coplanirty is more and if its Sp3 hybridization it cant be in coplanar as Sp3 is having Td shape where as sp2 and sp are not :)

Calculate the number of moles in 9 g of water

tangare [24]

Answer:

= 0.5 moles of water

$formular \: mass \: of \: water \: = (2 \times 1) + 16 = 18 \\ 18g \: of \: water \: are \: weighed \: by \: 1 \: mole. \\ 9g \: will \: be \: weighed \: by \: \frac{9 \times 1}{18} \\ = \frac{9}{18} moles \\ = 0.5 \: moles \: of \: water$

Answer:

What will happen to Uk if you double the mass?

Explanation:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

You see that both m and v are variable, which means that both m and v can be any number. Regardless of the numbers you put in for m or v, the formula to calculate the kinetic energy (Uk) remains valid.

You could ask

1. What will happen to Uk if you double the mass?

2. What will happen to Uk if you double the velocity?

please see and understand(!) that the relationship between Uk an v² is indeed the velocity squared....

EXTRA

Uk = 0.5 * m * (v)²

Suppose the m = 3kg and velocity = 5 m/s

What is the Uk?

Well if you know the formula you can use your calculator to find out:

Uk = 0.5 * m * (v)²

Uk = 0.5 * 3 * (5)²

Uk = 0.5 * 3 * 25

Uk = 37.5 kgm/s²

Again you ask what will happen to Uk if you double the velocity?

At first it was 5 m/s and now it doubles, which means it now has that value *2

The new velocity is 5 *2 = 10 m/s

Uk = 0.5 * m * (v)²

Uk = 0.5 * 3 * (10)²

Uk = 0.5 * 3 * 100

Uk = 150 kgm/s²

150 = 4 * 37.5

So now you see that if you double your velocity, the Uk will be 2² = 4 times as big !

If 30g of HCl is reacted with excess NaOH, and 10g of NaCl is produced, what is the theoretical yield of the experiment?

KATRIN_1 [288]

1. %yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100
= 3 g / 4. 46 g x 100
= 62.11 % percent yield

Hope This Helps! :3
