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

Chemistry

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 many moles of the product fecl3 do you make, when 8moles of fe react with excess cl2
tatuchka [14]

To figure out questions related to reacting moles/masses, the first step is always to write a complete balanced equation.

2Fe (s) + 3Cl2 (g) → 2FeCl3 (s)

Since Cl2 is the excess reactant, and Fe is the limiting reactant, we can simply find the number of moles of the product by comparing the mole ratio of the limiting reactant to the mole ratio of the product from the equation.

From the equation, mole ratio of Fe:FeCl3 = 2:2 = 1:1, the number of moles of product is exactly the same as the number of moles of the limiting reactant, which makes it 8 moles.

Note that if the mole ratio is not 1:1, you have to do some calculations to make sure the no. of moles is balanced at the end. Which means, if the mole ratio happened to be 1:2, the no. of moles of the product would be 8x2=16 instead.

So, your answer is 8 moles.

How can naphthalene be separated from a mixture of kbr and sand?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Put it in a beaker. Use a smaller beaker filled half way with ice and water and place in the larger one. It should be about an inch or two above the mixture. Heat over a Bunsen burner and the naphthalene will deposit on the bottom of smaller beaker.

And in this way, nephthalene be separated from the mixture of KBR and sand.

How many milliliters of 0.260 m na2s are needed to react with 35.00 ml of 0.315 m agno3?
allochka39001 [22]

The complete balanced chemical reaction is:

2 AgNO3 + Na2S --> 2 NaNO3 + Ag2S

 

First let us calculate the number of moles of AgNO3.

moles AgNO3 = 0.315 M * 0.035 L

moles AgNO3 = 0.011025 mol

 

From the reaction, 1 mole of Na2S is needed for every 2 moles of AgNO3 hence:

moles Na2S required = 0.011025 mol AgNO3 * (1 mol Na2S / 2 mol AgNO3)

moles Na2S required = 5.5125 x 10^-3 mol

 

Therefore volume required is:

volume Na2S = 5.5125 x 10^-3 mol / 0.260 M

<span>volume Na2S = 0.0212 L = 21.2 mL</span>

When neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft, it is taken up by the post-synaptic neuron.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

<u>Plz make me brainliest</u>

Explanation:

The neurotransmitters released into the cleft diffuse through it to reach the post-synaptic neuron. Neurotransmitters remain in cleft for only some time. They are either taken up by the presynaptic neuron or are broken down by the enzymes present in the synaptic cleft. The post-synaptic neuron contains several receptors on its plasma membrane
